Boutique wine shoppe co-owner Jeffrey Wolfe has always been in the Hospitality business. Upon graduating from the Culinary Institute of America he went to work in some of Manhattan’s most well respected culinary holy grails. He then moved to Florida to build upon his cooking foundation with a management degree from Florida International University. Here he met the Co-Owner of Wolfe’s Wine Shoppe and the mother of his two boys, Christie. After a short jaunt to Atlanta to work for burgeoning Pano Karatassos and the Buckhead Life Group, he returned to Miami to open Norman’s Restaurant, named the best restaurant in Florida by the New York Times Johnny Apple. Managing the restaurant and running the wine program gave him a deep respect for a “culinary lifestyle” and the bug to do something for himself. In 2002, Wolfe’s Wine Shoppe opened with a howl, and was selected the “Best New Wine Shoppe in America” by Food & Wine Magazine. The shoppe focuses on small independent growers that are not commercialized and typically produce under 50,000 bottles. With connections to the growers and their distributors, Wolfe’s Wine Shoppe has always been about quality not quantity, with a deep core of hospitality and family connections whether here with our South Florida local community or grape farmers around the globe.
