Wine Spectator's Restaurant Awards recognize restaurants whose wine lists offer interesting selections, are appropriate to their cuisine and appeal to a wide range of wine lovers.

Lists that meet these requirements are judged for one of our three awards.These wine lists display excellent breadth across multiple wine growing regions and/or significant vertical depth of top producers, along with superior presentation.

Typically offering 350 or more selections, these restaurants are destinations for serious wine lovers, showing a deep commitment to wine, both in the cellar and through their service team.
