Miami & Miami Beach Liquor Stores

[Chris Amirault]

I'm going to be in Miami Beach with a car for a week, and I'd be eager to hit any terrific liquor stores, particularly if they have a great rum selection. Any pointers?

I would suggest either Crown Liquors, where I get my Barbencourt (sp?) or ABC. They're both very nice. HTH!

Thanks for the tip!

Driving around in the maelstrom today, at the southern tip of Miami Beach, I found Portofino Wine Bank, operated by Rick Silverberg and selling an astonishing array of items, including cocktailian wonders like Carpano Antica Formula, Martin Miller's Reformed London Dry Gin (the 90.4 proof), and -- on sale for $22 -- the Angostura 1919 rum that is in my Daiquiri right now. If I lived in South Florida, I'd be at this place every week.
