888 Biscayne Blvd., Suite 112
at Marina Blue
Miami, FL, 33132.

In the spirit of Art Basel Miami 2011, Wine by the Bay will stage some of the store’s best wines with a backdrop of works by renowned American artists Andy Warhol, Robert Rauschenberg, Hunt Slonem, and Donald Sultan.

Recently opened, Wine by the Bay is a fine wine and art boutique hosting an ever-changing art exhibition and regular wine tasting events. The boutique will also serve as a venue for cultural events such as poetry readings and lectures on the visual arts. The wine inventory will satisfy the connoisseur or simply curious (in both price range and selection) with a collection of Burgundies, Bordeaux, Montrachet, and top end Italian and California wines.

Wine by the Bay owner, Stefano Campanini’s merges two of his greatest pleasures: collecting art and wine. Campanini’s career as a gallerist began in New York and since 2004 he has co-owned Etra Fine Art in Miami’s Design District.

Commenting on being a part of a rapidly developing area Campanini remarks, “I love the crowd and the energy of Downtown Miami. An art and wine store across from the Miami Art Museum, the Miami Science Museum, next to the Genting Resorts World Miami, and the Freedom Tower is beyond what I could have ever imagined. Many upscale restaurants and bars have moved their headquarters there because soon it will be the top area in our city. The energy in Downtown is unique – you can’t find this vibe anywhere else in Miami.”

Located on 888 Biscayne Bay at the Marina Blue, Wine by the Bay overlooks the bay directly across from the American Airlines Arena. The 1200 square foot boutique will serve Miami’s downtown area and become a functional part of city’s new cultural identity. For more information on future events, visit www.winebtb.com.
