“This year’s class of restaurants is one of the most impressive and innovative ever,” said Marvin R. Shanken, Editor and Publisher, Wine Spectator. “Their wine lists keep improving, because wine lovers are eager to explore and learn. The goal of our Restaurant Awards is to support restaurant wine programs and bring them to diners’ attention through our outreach through print, digital and social media. Wine Spectator salutes every restaurant honored in the 2018 Restaurant Awards.”
Quiessence at The Farm has won the Award of Excellence.
The Award of Excellence recognizes restaurants whose wine lists feature a well-chosen assortment of quality producers along with a thematic match to the menu in both price and style.
“Having an array of wine varietals at Quiessence is important for the ever-changing and seasonal menus that our restaurant produces. We have been awarded as “best farm-to-table” by several publications, and complimenting this type of cuisine is important to pair with the best wines in the world. Being a hyper-local restaurant, also including our Arizona wine purveyors is an important piece to our list,” said Chef Dustin Christofolo of Quiessence.
