Jeffrey Wolfe

Boutique wine shoppe co-owner Jeffrey Wolfe has always been in the hospitality business. Upon graduating from the Culinary Institute of America, he worked at some of Manhattan’s best respected culinary hotspots, then moved to Florida to build upon his cooking foundation with a management degree from Florida International University. Here he met the future co-owner of Wolfe’s Wine Shoppe and the mother of his two boys, Christie. After a short jaunt to Atlanta to work for the Buckhead Life Group, he returned to Miami to open Norman’s Restaurant, named the best restaurant in Florida by the New York Times' Johnny Apple. In 2002, Wolfe’s Wine Shoppe opened and was selected the “Best New Wine Shoppe in America” by Food & Wine magazine. The shoppe focuses on small independent growers that are not commercialized and typically produce under 50,000 bottles. With connections to the growers and their distributors, Wolfe’s Wine Shoppe has always been about quality, not quantity, with a deep core of hospitality and family connections, whether here with our South Florida local community or grape farmers around the globe.
