Club Earns Awards for Wine and Spirit Offerings

Three Club restaurants have won international recognition for the quality of their wine and spirit lists.

Among the restaurants honored in The World of Fine Wine magazine's annual best wine list awards was CHOP Steakhouse, whose wine list received three stars for a fifth consecutive year.

In a first, the third-floor dining spot's selection of spirits was named the best spirits list in Asia.

Elsewhere, Rainbow Café's wine list picked up two stars in the restaurant's first awards mention and American Bar & Grill's list garnered two stars, one more star than last year.

Wine lists are assessed on their breadth, depth, quality and value by a panel of eminent wine experts.

A three-star award, according to The World of Fine Wine, reflects a "great" wine list that shows variety in wine region, style, vintage, quality, winery prestige and format.

Former world sommelier champion Gerard Basset says the awards are "rapidly becoming as coveted as Michelin stars."
