La Vid Fine Wines & Vinoteca Quenches Thirst For Local Independent Wine Shop and Bar in Carrollwood
By Deborah Bostock-Kelley Trying to decide what determines a good wine brand can be overwhelming in a big box shopping store or liquor chain. When Certified Sommelier Victor Manuel and mother/ business partner, Rosa Quintela opened La Vid Fine Wines & Vinoteca in November 2020, they wanted to create an intimate shop and
make the process a personal one. La Vid offers only the best-in-class Spanish and Portuguese wines, beers, and vermouths, as well as other global wines of distinction and specialty food products from the Mediterranean. “We specialize in Iberian wines (Spain and Portugal) and vermouths. We do sell other European and new world wines. We also carry food products like tuna, Sardines, anchovies, high-end vinegar, chestnuts, almonds, oils from Spain and Portugal,” said Victor. “We were excited to share our wine culture with Carrollwood and offer something different because people were- pun intended- thirsty for a local non-franchise concept.” The dark garnet walls are adorned with See “La VId” on page 12
