Great Wines of the World Tasting Extravaganza Comes to Miami

Acclaimed wine critic James Suckling brings Great Wines Of The World to Miami for the first time.

Wine lovers of Miami, this event is for you.

Hosted by acclaimed wine critic James Suckling, Great Wines of the World is an interactive walk-around experience held at the Moore Building in the Design District, allowing guests to taste and experience outstanding wines from some of the world’s most renowned vineyards and boutique wineries.

This will be the first time this handpicked collection of wine has been brought to the United States (following sold out events in Asia) and features over 120 top producers from around the globe, including Lafite Rothschild, Mouton Rothschild, Opus and Antinori.

Guests in attendance can be guaranteed all wines on display have received a minimum score of 90 points by James Suckling himself (with most having a score of 95 and 16 with a perfect score of 100) and will also have the opportunity to hear directly from the owners and winemakers of these iconic wineries, who will be sharing industry insights and presenting top vintages for tasting.

“I hope that Great Wines of the World in Miami will become the iconic fine wine event for Latin America as well as the United States. Miami is the new center of the universe for fine wines and it is a portal for the fine wine world in Latin America, just like Hong Kong is for Asia.” said James Suckling, who has rated more than 25,000 wines from around the world with his small team of tasters and spends a month a year in South America tasting more than 2,000 wines.

The event will be held over two nights with a welcome gala dinner, show and after party held on January 23 and the Grand Tasting on January 24 2020.
