Not so much a wine bar as a grape emporium. Its shop sells 2,000 wines by the bottle and some 40 varietals for sampling, dispensed via Enomatic machines. But it's also a chilled Coconut Grove hangout. Formerly an old dive bar, the woodsy 1911 cottage has been gussied up by owner Jimmy Cefalo, Miami Dolphins player turned sportscaster. Clearly Cefalo is no dumb jock. From a family of Italian winemakers, he knows his grapes as well as his football. As well as the bar and shop, Cefalo's hosts tastings and classes and its eaterie serves northern Italian cuisine.
