2006 Edition Closes with Extraordinary Success
 With
nearly 5,000 visitors in just two days (a 20% increase from the
year before) and more than twice the number of exhibitors featured in 2005, the 5th Annual Miami International Wine Fair
held November 11-12, 2006 surpassed its most ambitious expectations
in its transition year from Downtown Miami to the Miami Beach
Convention Center. “We are extremely excited with the response
received from the international wine trade community and South
Florida’s wine aficionados”, said David Bernad, General
Manager of the Wine Fair. “Based on the highest customer
satisfaction and demand levels we have ever seen, we will be expanding
our total exhibit space in 2007 to nearly 50,000 square feet,”
added Bernad.
The 2006 edition of the Miami International Wine Fair featured a unique program of guided tastings and industry events, business-to-business meetings, a larger and more spectacular VIP section (also known as the Collector’s Club), and South Florida’s 1st Annual Wine & Food Pairing
Competition, a one-of-a-kind culinary challenge that brought together
some of the region’s leading restaurateurs and wine directors. Chef
Alex Rubio and Sommelier Steve Stein of Mendoza Restaurant walked away with the top honors, including over $5,000 in prizes and the recognition of Miami’s top wine & food critics.
