Last week, Uvaggio hosted its latest Somm Slam at the Coral Gables Woman’s Club. Typically, the series pits Uvaggio’s Head Wine-O Heath Porter against local sommeliers in a wine-pairing dinner battle; previous competitors have included somms from 50 Eggs and The Genuine Hospitality Group.

This time around, though, the competitor hailed from New York: award-winning sommelier Patrick Cappiello. Cappiello currently serves as Wine Director for Rebelle as well as Pearl and Ash on the Bowery. Supporting the two in the kitchen were Uvaggio’s Tanner Gil and Top Chef talent Grayson Schmitz. Needless to say, guests were in for a treat.

Back in May, we launched the Coral Gables Food Tour in partnership with our friends over at Coral Gables Love. The tour, which stopped at neighborhood favorites like Bulla, Uvaggio and The Local, was a lot of fun. So much fun, in fact, that we’re doing another one this coming Tuesday, September 13, from 6 p.m. – 9 p.m.
