Vinya wine retailer and wine bar has a winning formula. And they think so too, as after Key Biscayne where they just opened, they're opening on Miracle Mile in Coral Gables and then Brickell in a high profile spot. You can go there and have a glass or two of reasonably priced wine from a large selection (or cocktail), delicious food, and pick up some wine or liquor from a collection of 2000 bottles along with gourmet food items to go.
