Could it be the toast heard ‘round the world?
Wine Spectator magazine raises a glass to its 2017
“Best of Award”
recipients, honoring restaurants exhibiting outstanding dedication to
their wine programs. Award winners hail from all 50 states and more than
75 countries. In Atlanta, “Wine Spectator” applauds
Aria,
Ray’s in the City and
Umi
among a cast of outstanding restaurants. Ray’s in the City and Umi each
claim an “Award of Excellence” commending merit in satisfying
discerning wine lovers with well-chosen assortments of quality wine
producers and prowess in achieving a thematic match of wine price and
style to restaurant menus. Ray’s in the City offers a lengthy wine list
of
wines by the bottle,
including alternative reds and whites, global labels, French wines,
Champagnes, sake and dessert wines in a wide price spread. The downtown
restaurant pours a well-curated selection of
wines by the glass
to complement executive chef Dean Berthelot’s menu of premium seafood,
sushi and prime, hand-cut steaks and chops served daily at lunch, dinner
and weekend brunch. At Umi, an exceptional wine and craft sake list
enhances the sophisticated evening dining experience afforded by chef
Fuyuhiko Ito and his team.
Reservations
are suggested to enjoy Umi’s menu of modern and classic Japanese fare
and sushi prepared using the highest quality fresh fish flown in daily
from around the world.
Aria, chef/owner Gerry Klaskala’s Buckhead jewel, goes a step further
and brings home the “Best of Award of Excellence” accolade. In addition
to mastering “Award of Excellence” criteria, attaining “Best of“ status
lauds the restaurant for a wine program that excels in breadth across
multiple regions and/or significant vertical depth of top wines and
carries out superior presentation. Stunning contemporary American
cuisine, incomparable hospitality and an award-winning wine program land
Aria on “Best of” lists year after year.
Reservations are suggested at Aria for dinner served evenings Monday through Saturday.
