StripSteak by Michael Mina
In honor of the 1954 inauguration of one of Miami’s most jaw-dropping hotels, the iconic Fontainebleau Miami Beach, the Fontainebleau created the ever-popular Cellar 1954 dinner series to highlight and pair the world’s top wines and spirits with the award-winning cuisine of the hotel’s signature dining spots. This month, the festivities will take place at StripSteak by Michael Mina {4441 Collins Avenue, Miami Beach; 877.326.7412} on Wednesday, January 24. Presenting the ultimate wine-pairing experience, this three-course meal will be paired with vintages from none other than the tantalizing Napa Valley PlumpJack, Cade and Odette Wineries. Making the night even more special, the hosts of the evening will be winemaker Danielle Cyrot, who has a hand in all three wineries, and StripSteak’s Chef de Cuisine William Crandall, who will expertly pair each course.
