PORTLAND, Ore. — The Oregon Wine Board recently revealed the list of restaurants to receive its inaugural Oregon Wine A-List Award.
“The Oregon Wine A-List Awards guide consumers to restaurants, both in-state and outside of Oregon, that promote and feature Oregon wines in concert with their menus and cuisines,” Ellen Brittan, Oregon Wine Board chairwoman, stated in a news release. “We’re very proud of each A-List Award winner’s commitment to Oregon wines.”
Each A-List restaurant also was a candidate for one of the seven Oregon Wine A-List Regional Star Award as the year’s most outstanding restaurant supporter within its area. One restaurant will be named the 2015 Oregon Wine A-List Restaurant of the Year.
The Regional Star Award winners and the Restaurant of the Year will be announced Feb. 24 at the Oregon Wine Industry Awards Dinner during the Oregon Wine Symposium in Portland. The Oregon Wine A-List Sommelier of the Year will also be announced at that time.
The dinner and awards presentation will be emceed by Kansas City author Doug Frost, who has earned both Master Sommelier and Master of Wine titles.
Nominated restaurants were evaluated by a committee of Oregon wine industry members. The criteria included the proportion of Oregon representation, range of varieties, geographic diversity and graphic prominence of Oregon wines as well as the restaurant’s commitment to events and promotions featuring Oregon wines.
The Oregon Wine Board is a semi-independent Oregon state agency managing marketing, research and education initiatives that support and advance the Oregon wine and wine grape industry. The OWB works on behalf of all Oregon wineries and independent growers throughout the state. Visit oregonwine.org.
