Farmstead named one of the 30 best restaurants for Wine Lovers by Wine Spectator

In this months Wine Spectator, Sarah Stierch explores Farmstead at Long Meadow Ranch. "Created in 1981, the Wine Spectator Restaurant Awards is the Michelin for wine lists. Every year, thousands of restaurants submit their particular wine selection for a chance to be bestowed the prestigious accolade, and the competition is fierce: the internationally renowned restaurants’ wine lists are scrutinized by wine experts who examine the quality and quantity of wines, how the wine list complements the cuisine, who manages the wine – even the spelling and grammar! The lucky restaurants that make the final selection are then divided into three levels: Best of Excellence, Best of Award of Excellence, and Grand Awards, the latter being the most prestigious.

Farmstead at Long Meadow Ranch, St. Helena. The rustic Farmstead, located at Long Meadow Ranch, just south of downtown St. Helena, earns their fifth Award of Excellence this year. Wine director Chris Hall has created a diverse, and manageable, selection of 130 wines, including their estate Long Meadow Ranch wines. On the last Wednesday of the month, Farmstead offers discounted bottles of Champagne & sparkling paired with caviar & oysters at their outdoor bar."- Sarah Stierch
