305 Wines

305 Wines is a specialist wine and Japanese sake shop in Miami, built around thoughtful curation, education, and personal service.

Located in South Miami near Pinecrest, our store brings together fine wines from classic regions around the world and one of Florida’s most extensive selections of Japanese sake. Our portfolio is selected with purpose—from everyday discoveries to collectible bottles, mature vintages, grower Champagne, benchmark producers, and distinctive sake from breweries across Japan.

305 Wines was created by the founders of Florida Wine Academy, connecting retail with professional wine and sake education. That educational background shapes the way we select our products and, just as importantly, how we help our customers choose them.


Meet the Curators

Alessandra Esteves, DipWSET

Our wine portfolio is selected by Alessandra Esteves, DipWSET, wine educator and Master of Wine candidate.

Her approach combines rigorous wine education with years of tasting, teaching, traveling, and evaluating wines from around the world. The 305 Wines selection has particular depth in Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne, Piedmont, Tuscany, Spain, Napa Valley, and other established and emerging wine regions.

Rather than selecting wines solely by reputation or score, the focus is on producers, provenance, vintage, value, and a clear sense of place.

Guilherme “William” Macedo, Master Sake Sommelier

Our Japanese sake portfolio is curated by Guilherme Macedo, Master Sake Sommelier, with a focus on brewery identity, regional character, rice varieties, traditional brewing methods, and the diversity of modern Japanese sake.

Regular visits to Japan and relationships with breweries and sake professionals help shape a collection designed for both newcomers and experienced sake enthusiasts. Customers can explore sake by grade, style, prefecture, and rice variety, with personal guidance on serving temperature, food pairing, production methods, and brewery history.


Fine Wine Expertise

Our wine collection reflects the same philosophy we bring to education: understand the producer, the region, and the context behind the bottle.

Bordeaux is one of our strongest specialties. Our selection ranges from approachable Bordeaux and Cru Bourgeois to classified growths, mature vintages, and collectible wines. Alessandra is an official Bordeaux educator and has participated in Bordeaux En Primeur since 2015. 305 Wines also offers Bordeaux Futures, providing clients access to selected new vintages before release.

Beyond Bordeaux, our shelves feature carefully selected Burgundy, Champagne, Rhône, Loire, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, German, Austrian, South American, Californian, and other international wines.

Whether you are looking for a bottle for dinner, exploring a new region, selecting Champagne for an occasion, or developing a cellar, our goal is to help you buy with greater confidence.


Japanese Sake in Miami

Japanese sake is a central part of 305 Wines—not a small addition to the wine portfolio.

We offer one of Florida’s most extensive sake selections, representing established Japanese breweries (kura), smaller producers, traditional brewing techniques, regional styles, seasonal releases, and premium expressions from throughout Japan.

Our approach is kura-driven. We value the identity of the brewery, the people behind the sake, the region it represents, the rice, and the brewing methods behind it.

For customers discovering sake for the first time, we make the category approachable. For experienced sake drinkers, we aim to provide bottles and producers worth exploring more deeply.


Education at the Core

Education has been part of 305 Wines from the beginning.

Through our connection with Florida Wine Academy, our customers have access to professional wine and sake education, tastings, masterclasses, producer events, and guided experiences.

We believe understanding what is in the bottle makes drinking it more interesting. That may mean learning why two neighboring Burgundy vineyards taste different, comparing vintages of Bordeaux, discovering grower Champagne, understanding the difference between Kimoto and Yamahai, or exploring how sake rice and prefecture can influence style.

Our role is not simply to sell a bottle. It is to help customers discover, understand, and enjoy it.


Why 305 Wines?

The name 305 Wines reflects our home in Miami, but our selection reaches well beyond South Florida.

We believe a specialist wine and sake shop should combine three things:

Thoughtful Selection
A focused portfolio chosen for producer identity, provenance, character, and value rather than simply following trends.

Expert Guidance
Personal recommendations for everyone from first-time buyers to experienced collectors and hospitality professionals.

Education & Experience
Opportunities to taste, compare, ask questions, meet producers, and learn about the wines and sake you purchase.

In 2025, 305 Wines received Silver for Best Liquor Store and Bronze for Best Specialty Store in the Miami Herald Miami-Dade Favorites Awards, recognition that reflects the support of our customers and the Miami community.
