refined hospitality and beautifully executed dishes. There are 59
restaurants new to the list, including Bullion in Dallas, TX; TORC
in Napa, CA; and Prime + Proper in Detroit, MI, which join lauded
restaurants like Alinea in Chicago, IL; Barolo Grill in Denver, CO;
and Four Horsemen in Brooklyn, NY. Please check out the full list

“It’s such an exciting time for wine and food in America and our
2018 list reflects that experimental energy,” explains Susan
Kostrzewa, executive editor of Wine Enthusiast. “Gone are the
days of boilerplate wine lists and menus—the new wave of chefs and
wine directors are going deep and unapologetically into single
categories, as well as mining emerging cuisines and regions in
a way that’s both fearless and thrilling for the customer.
Secondary markets continue to blossom and drive trends, meaning
that great experiences are accessible regardless of location."
Restaurants that have appeared on the 100 Best Wine Restaurants
list for four or more years are the first honorees of Wine
Enthusiast’s Restaurant Hall of Fame spotlight. This new feature of
the issue celebrates the iconic restaurants that have helped shape
the way we dine out. Additionally, there are exclusive chef and
sommelier Q&As, as well as a selection of recipes and wine
pairings from some of the 100 Best Wine Restaurants. A roundup of
Mexico’s 10 Best Wine Restaurants is a new and exciting online-only
feature.
In celebration of the launch of the 2018 Restaurant issue, the
Wine Enthusiast team is hosting an invitation-only party at New
York’s Ousia (a 2018 Best Wine Restaurant). The fête will toast
this year’s honorees and commemorate this modern and diverse era of
dining out.
Prior to the party, there will be a pre-event press panel
moderated by Wine Enthusiast Executive Editor Susan Kostrzewa, with
the assistance of Contributing Food Editor, Nils Bernstein. This
year’s illustrious panel of industry influencers includes Lauren
Friel, Wine Director at Dirt Candy; Alexandra Cherniavsky, Beverage
Manager at The Love; and Matthew Kudry, Wine Director at Flora
Bar.
