Miami, FL – January 23, 2025 – Forum Wine Shop, located in Fort Lauderdale’s Tarpon River Entertainment and Design District, welcomed Philippe André, U.S. Ambassador at Charles Heidsieck Champagne, for a night of celebration in honor of the notable, Chicago-based sommelier’s birthday.  Invite-only guests and VIPs enjoyed an evening of Charles Heidsieck Champagne and Rare Champagne alongside fine wines with the area’s newest, fine wine shop as the backdrop.  Opened in May 2023 by owners Michael and Holly Winter, Forum Wine shop (503 SW 2nd Avenue) showcases wines from around the world with an emphasis on old-world style wines, specialty champagnes and allocated varieties in addition to everyday global wines including selections from some of the world’s most famous regions in Italy, France and the United States. Forum Wine Shop will expand its footprint in Fort Lauderdale later this year with a new location at the recently-opened Rivr Lofts luxury residential building.
