A Message in a Bottle

On May 8th, Zampieri's Harbor Grille received a nod from the most prestigious wine publication - The Wine Spectator's Restaurant Award. The award recognizes restaurants whose wine lists offer interesting selections, are appropriate to their cuisine and appeal to a wide range of wine lovers.

In addition to being named "one of the TOP TWENTY BEST NEW RESTAURANTS IN FLORIDA" - Florida Trend Magazine. Now their extensive and comprehensive wine list is considered on the best in North America by the WINE SPECTATOR MAGAZINE. The Award of Excellence represents the top wine lists in restaurants across the United States. Additionally, Wine Enthusiast Award of Distinction was awarded earlier this year.

Harbor Grille's wine list has over 200 selections, from 5 countries spread over 4 continents. About 80 % of the wines on the list are rated 86 points or higher by The Wine Spectator. Almost every wine grape varietal is represented. One of the results of these efforts is the 2007 Wine Spectator Award of Excellence.

"We continually strive to provide our guests with the ultimate dining experience, and do our best to exceed their highest expectations, says Mike Wilke, General Manager at Harbor Grille. It is certainly an honor to be given the Wine Spectator Award, and to be recognized among the best wine lists in restaurants in North America. This attests to our philosophy that at this level of dining, wonderful wines are as much a part of a complete dining experience as great food."
