ENTRIES for the newly revamped 2008 Diners Club International Winelist of the Year Awards are officially open and Diners Club International invites all licensed restaurants across South Africa to entre for these prestigious Awards before 20 June.
The wards, which are aimed at encouraging food and wine-serving establishments to consistently improve the standards of wine lists on offer, have always been held in high esteem by both the restaurant and wine industry.
There is a national ‘best wine list’ award in each of these categories.
New awards are a Best Restaurant Winelist - for which the small game lodge list of 20 wines, the family restaurant on the corner and the International Hotel Restaurants all stand an equal chance. Then there’s the best first entry wine list and the Wine Steward of the Year Award which will go to fully employed wine stewards (see http://wine.diners.co.za).
