PORTLAND — The “drink local” concept might not get as much traction in Oregon as “eat local,” but the Oregon Wine Board continues to work on changing that with its second annual Oregon Wine A-List Awards program.
This week, the Oregon Wine Board and Oregon Wine Press opened the new year with a fresh list of its most supportive restaurants by releasing winners of the 2016 Oregon Wine A-List Awards. The collaborative effort was expanded to feature 112 restaurants from Portland and beyond that showcase Oregon wines.
“The Oregon Wine A-List Awards allow us to recognize the restaurants here in Oregon and around the world that support our celebrated wineries,” David Beck, Oregon Wine Board chairman, stated in a news release. “We are proud to honor each of the winners whose wine lists bring the beauty of Oregon terroir to their clientele.”
Fourteen restaurants from nine regions were recognized as winners of Oregon Wine A-List Regional Spotlight awards. That category, originally called Regional Stars, goes to select restaurant that dedicate more than 30 percent of their programs to Oregon wine and offer wines from three or more of the state’s growing regions. According to organizers, the number of qualifying restaurants grew by more than 50 percent from the first year.
Overall winner announcement set for Feb. 24
The overall winner of the Oregon Wine A-List Wine Program of the Year will be announced at the Oregon Wine Symposium on Feb. 24 in Portland during the Industry Awards Luncheon.
Last year’s inaugural winner, Christopher Czarnecki, executive chef/owner of the Joel Palmer House, was featured by the Oregon Wine Board at Smoked! – the marquee event at Feast Portland.
Oregon Wine A-List Award nominations are open to the Oregon wine industry, distributors and the public throughout the year at oregonwinealist.com. Nominations are evaluated by a committee of Oregon wine industry professionals.
