PROSCIUTTO BOCADILLO at Happy Wine Miami
I’m always guaranteed to discover a new wine I like at Happy Wine, a bare-bones wine shop with racks made from 2-by-4s, where owners J.C. Restrepo and his spouse, Joanna Fajardo, lavish attention on customers. After a health scare that nearly cost him his life, Restrepo doubled down on this hidden Calle Ocho wine shop where he buys great wines and sells them at great prices, with tapas and festive music. I cannot stop ordering the simple prosciutto sandwich with Swiss cheese, tomato, and garlic sauce in a pressed and toasted baguette with whatever wine J.C. recommends. (I recently fell in love with F-Bomb, a mélange of red wines from Nine North Wine Company’s Dirty Pure Project.)
