Adrian López is the wine director at Ariete Hospitality and is a partner at the Miami restaurant group’s Coconut Grove bar/retail concept, The Allocation Room. In 2023, with Adrian at the helm, the wine program at the company’s Michelin-starred flagship restaurant Ariete won an Award of Excellence from Wine Spectator.
In this conversation, Mike Beltrán talks with Adrian about his development as a sommelier in South Florida, how he’s put his own personal stamp on wine offerings at AHG, how he approaches leading the company’s wine team, trends in the wine world, and how Ariete’s two years with a Michelin Star have affected the way the beverage industry approaches him and the broader restaurant group.
