Placing it Among the World’s Top Destinations for Wine
June 23rd 2026 – Perrone’s Restaurant and Bar has been honored for its outstanding wine program in Wine Spectator’s 2026 Restaurant Awards, celebrating the world’s best restaurants for wine. After having received the “Award of Excellence” for the last 7 consecutive years, we are honored to announce that Perrone’s Restaurant and Bar this year has received the second tier “Best of Award of Excellence.”
Recipients of this second level award have wine lists that display an excellent breadth across multiple wine growing regions and/or significant vertical depth of top producers, along with a superior presentation.
“The restaurant industry is rapidly transforming as diners become more selective about when, how and what they drink. As wine drinkers grow more mindful, restaurants are adapting with creative wine programs,” said Marvin R. Shanken, Chairman and CEO, Wine Spectator.
“Congratulations to the 4,012 restaurants that earned a Restaurant Award and continue to elevate the wine experience for guests around the world. We raise a glass to your success.”
Launched in 1981, the Restaurant Awards recognize excellence in restaurant wine service across three levels: the Award of Excellence, the Best of Award of Excellence and the Grand Award, with 2,083, 1,830, and 99 winners this year in each category.
