Koestler Prime Wine List

Wine Spectator Best of Award of Excellence ................................................ 2003-2019 Wine Spectator Award of Excellence ............................................................. 2001-2002 Each year since 1981, Wine Spectator Magazine has selected wine lists from around the world to participate in their restaurant awards program. The awards are based on quality of selections, number of listings, depth of vintages and growing regions from top producers and the relationship between the wine list and restaurant fare.
