"In an age of technological innovation, restaurants offer the human experience customers crave. We listen to our customers and provide a customized experience," said Marvin R. Shanken, editor and publisher of Wine Spectator. "The annual lake celebrates the places where wine occupies the top spot. We are pleased to celebrate the dedication of all 3,505 restaurants to wine and wine-loving guests."
"Our wine program has more than 3,000 bottles on display, complementing our evolving menu and offering exceptional wines to our guests," said Shalin Egan, a sommelier in Boriva. "It is an honor to win the Wine Spectator Award because we are part of the world's best beverage program. It shows our commitment to creating ever-changing programs to suit our customers' tastes. For us, it's all about creating an unforgettable eating experience."
Launched in 1981, the Restaurant Awards represents the world's only program focused solely on restaurant wine services. They are assigned in three stages: best award, best award, and grand prize, with 2,001 winners, 1,411 winners, and 93 winners this year in each category.
BR Prime, Stalla, and Jia each received Excellence Awards. The Excellence Award recognizes restaurants whose wine list features a well-selected collection of quality producers, with themes that match the menu, both in price and style.
