Wingman Metrics
LPM's wine list reads like a greatest hits of southern France with some predictable Italian and Spanish backup dancers. It's the kind of list built for expense accounts and pre-game rosé — safe, recognizable, and priced like you're sitting oceanfront even though you're in Brickell. Nothing here will surprise you, but nothing will embarrass you either.
The French Mediterranean focus makes sense given LPM's Côte d'Azur vibe, and they lean hard into Provence rosés, Rhône whites, and Bordeaux reds that pair well with their seafood-forward menu. You'll find the usual suspects from Bandol, Châteauneuf-du-Pape, and a decent Burgundy section that doesn't dig too deep into grower Champagne or natural wine territory. The Italian selection skews northern with some Piedmont and Tuscany standards. It's a business lunch list — built for recognition over exploration, which works for the crowd but leaves wine nerds wanting more adventure.
The glass program sticks to crowd-pleasers: a Sancerre, a Whispering Angel-adjacent rosé, maybe a Chablis, and some entry-level Italian reds. Pours are generous enough and rotate seasonally, but don't expect any bleeding-edge natural wines or obscure grower bottlings. It's the wine equivalent of playing the hits — everyone knows the words, nobody's mad about it, but nobody's rushing to tell their friends either.
Domaine de la Mordorée Tavel Rosé — $58
Tavel delivers Provence vibes with more structure and less markup than the Instagram bottles
Château de Pibarnon Bandol Blanc
Most people skip white Bandol for rosé, but this Clairette-based blend has texture and salinity that crushes with their seafood
Generic Côtes de Provence Rosé
When you're paying $65+ for commodity rosé you can find at Total Wine for $18, you're funding the marble floors
Château de Beaucastel Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc + Mediterranean Sea Bass
The Roussanne's richness and white flower aromatics mirror the fish's olive oil preparation without fighting the herbs
The Bottom Line
LPM delivers exactly what you'd expect from a French Mediterranean restaurant in Miami's financial district: a safe, well-curated list with markup that reflects the zip code more than the liquid. Come for the scene and the reliable pours, not the wine discoveries.
· Miami · French Brasserie
La Grande Boucherie Miami is a Champagne list wearing a restaurant costume — deep on grower producers, light on everything else, and priced like it knows it has you cornered. If you are here specifically to dig into a blanc de noirs from the Côte des Bar or split a bottle of Larmandier-Bernier ($190/bottle) over dinner, this is genuinely one of the more interesting Champagne programs in Miami. Everyone else should order the Chablis and move on.

· Miami · Seafood Steakhouse
Truluck's Miami isn't a wine destination — it's a seafood restaurant that happens to have eight wines on a menu. If you're here for stone crab or a special occasion dinner, you'll find something adequate to drink, but you won't find anything to get excited about. Order a cocktail or bring your own expectations down a notch.

Coral Gables · Miami · Italian
An Italy-first list built around Piedmont and Tuscany, with a four-vintage Burlotto Barolo vertical, three vintages of Sassicaia and a 16-bottle Brunello section plus special-vintage Brunellos. Start with a Coravin pour or a quartino, then ask for bottle prices, because this version of the list posts none and carries no printed date. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups.
Miami · Miami · Italian
A long, Italian-first list where Barbaresco, Barolo and Brunello each get their own block and several producers list multiple older vintages. If you want a safe Tuscan red by the glass, ask for the Castello di Volpaia Chianti Classico 2020; if you want something stranger, ask about the Zidarich Vitovska, and ask the price either way because none is posted. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups. The list carries no printed date, so confirm current availability.
Jungle Island · Miami · Mediterranean Beach Club
A glass-first list with a top end that reaches Barolo at $29 a glass and Dom Pérignon at $95. Order the Bico da Ran Albariño with the Grilled Octopus, or ask about Sunset Hour for the $8 AIX Rosé: its menu says Monday through Friday, 4 to 7 pm at the bar and lounge, but the homepage lists Tuesday as closed and the Beach Lounge as closed Monday and Tuesday, so check before you go. Confirm prices before you go, since the PDFs carry no printed date. This unrated guide covers the posted glass list and Sunset Hour menu, not service, storage or markups.
· Los Angeles · French Mediterranean
The Little Door is punching above its weight for a 27-bottle list — the Old World focus is genuine, the by-the-glass breadth is impressive, and the pricing mostly plays fair. We'd send a friend here specifically to drink by the glass and work through the more offbeat picks like the Ruche or the Forge Cellars Riesling.

South End · Boston · French Mediterranean
Mistral is one of the few Boston restaurants where the wine list genuinely earns the room it lives in — deep cellar, fair pricing on most of the list, and staff who actually know what they're talking about. Send your friends here if they want to drink well with a serious meal.

Naples · Naples · French Mediterranean
Côte d'Azur plays it safe with a French-heavy list that won't offend but won't excite. Prices lean steep, staff enthusiasm feels thin, but if you're here for classic French dining and know what you want, you'll find something drinkable. Just don't expect discovery.
