    Vintage Year and Ravello Ristorante have once again been recognized for excellence by Wine Spectator Magazine, earning 2025 Restaurant Awards for their outstanding wine programs. Both restaurants received the Award of Excellence, which honors establishments whose wine lists feature a well-curated selection of quality producers and reflect thoughtful alignment with the menu in both price and style.
     
    “It’s a true honor to be recognized again by Wine Spectator,” said proprietor Jud Blount. “Our wine program is built on intentional pairings, a deep respect for producers from around the world, and a commitment to offering something special for both the casual sipper and seasoned enthusiast.”
     
    “A wine list is a restaurant’s identity in print, and this year’s Wine Spectator Restaurant Award winners reflect both deep knowledge and a passion for discovery,” said Marvin R. Shanken, Wine Spectator Editor and Publisher. “We raise a glass to all our winners.”
