Utah is famous for its scenery, but not so much for its wine lists. Now, in addition to its Mighty Five national parks, you can brag on SLC’s Sexy Six Wine Lists. It’ll couldn’t hurt considering the Legislature this year tried to convince the world Utah is a provincial outpost where Sharia law is applied to wine and liquor.
Wine Spectator has just listed six Salt Lake City restaurants: in their 2017 list of the worldβs best wine lists.
- Pago
- Finca
- BTG Wine Bar
- Spencerβs for Steaks and Chops
- Ruthβs Chris Steak House
- Flemingβs Prime Steakhouse and Wine Bar
βWe are honored to be included in this yearβs Wine Spectator Restaurant Awards,β says Scott Evans, Founder and President of Pago Restaurant Group that has two restaurants, Pago and Finca, on the list. βIn yearsΒ past, we were surprised to see so few independentlyΒ owned and operatedΒ restaurants on the list, and we wanted to help represent those independent restaurantsΒ that are a big part of the wine community and continue to celebrate the growingΒ wine interest in Utah.β
TheΒ full list of award winnersβincluding other Utah restaurants with superb wine listsβis available in Wine Spectatorβs AugustΒ issue and online.
