Industry leader publication Wine Spectator magazine has announced its 2018 restaurant award winners, and Selanne Steak Tavern has once again earned the second highest level of recognition – The Best of Award of Excellence. For 2018, this award has been achieved by only 1,215 winners from all 50 states and from 75 countries. And, all award winners will be featured in the August 31 Wine Spectator issue, which just hit newsstands.
“The Best of Award of Excellence is only garnered by restaurants that typically offer 350 or more selections and are destinations for serious wine lovers – places that have a deep commitment to wine, both in the cellar and through their service team,” said Selanne Steak Tavern owners Teemu Selanne and Kevin Pratt. “We are exceptionally proud of our wine collection and of all the efforts put forth by our gracious and talented team, led by newly certified Advanced Sommelier Vito Pasquale.”
Selanne Steak Tavern, an upscale steak house and tavern housed in a chicly transformed historic 1934 home on Pacific Coast Highway, has received this award based on its impressive wine inventory of over 2,750 bottles with list strength in selections from California and Burgundy, France. The list also offers outstanding global selections, Old and New World from Washington, Oregon, Italy, New Zealand, Spain, Argentina, Germany, Austria, South Africa, Portugal, Canada and Australia. While the list is heavily focused on California cult wines with many highly allocated, low production, big scoring selections, it is designed to appeal to all wine lovers – their palates, pairing preferences and spending desires.
