The best restaurants understand that what you drink and how it’s served will make a big difference to how much you enjoy your visit. It doesn’t matter how good the food is, if it is served alongside a warm tumbler of overoaked Chardonnay, the meal could have been better. If you’re looking for somewhere that takes as much care over what goes into the glass as what goes onto the plate, consider one of the restaurants listed below. From classic lists by Master Sommeliers to small selections of esoteric discoveries, they all have something exciting to offer the wine lover.
