Hakkasan Miami Wine Har mony: The Tuesday Tasting Every week, Hakkasan s wine team conducts a dedicated tasting session, trying out new wines with at least four different dishes from the menu: if a wine does not work with one dish even if it is great with the others it does not make the list. All our wines (with the exception of the fine vintages on pages 10 and 11) are continually tasted as the vintages change, to ensure that they complement our cuisine. Christine Parkinson, Group Head of Wine Adrian Lopez, Head Sommelier To compliment our wine list, we do allow corkage. The corkage policy is as follows: There is a $30 corkage fee for each of the first two 750 ml of wine, which increases to a $70 corkage fee for each subsequent 750 ml of wine.
