Wine Spectator's Restaurant Awards honor fine dining establishments with outstanding wine selections from quality wine producers.
TEMECULA, Calif., July 13, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Four Temecula Valley restaurants have received a 2023 Award of Excellence distinction from Wine Spectator, joining more than 3,500 restaurants around the world that have been honored for outstanding wine programs.
Launched in 1981, the Restaurant Awards is the world's only program focused exclusively on restaurant wine service. Wine lists must offer at least 90 selections and feature quality wine producers and wines that diners wouldn't easily find at local wine stores. The selections must also match the restaurant's cuisine in style and pricing for a well-rounded guest experience.
Awards are assigned on three levels, including the Award of Excellence, Best of Award Excellence, and Grand Award.
Here are the 2023 Wine Spectator Award of Excellence honorees from Temecula Valley. A full list of winners can be found here.
