Shipwright's Daughter Among New England's Best Restaurants
for Wine
MYSTIC,
Conn., June 29, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The
Shipwright's Daughter has been honored for its outstanding wine
program in Wine Spectator's 2022 Restaurant Awards,
which celebrate the world's best restaurants for wine.
Wine Spectator began its program to recognize the
world's best wine lists in 1981. There are three levels: the Award
of Excellence, the Best of Award of Excellence and the Grand
Award.
The Shipwright's Daughter has won the Award of Excellence,
which recognizes restaurants whose wine lists feature a well chosen
assortment of quality producers along with a thematic match to the
menu in both price and style. The Shipwright's Daughter wine
list includes over 135 selections from around the world, from an
inventory of 1,425 bottles.
"We are honored to receive our first Wine Spectator Award of
Excellence," said beverage director Kathleen Standridge. "Our aim has always been to
make exceptional, small producer wines accessible and approachable
to wine drinkers of all kinds. We are absolutely thrilled to be
recognized for our achievements."
In crafting the wine list for Shipwright's Daughter, Standridge
strives to ride the edges of tradition and innovation. Working with
her husband, executive chef David
Standridge, she developed an eclectic wine program that
complements the menu and celebrates farmers and producers who
practice their craft using time-honored winemaking techniques, as
well as the mavericks who are testing the boundaries of
possibilities.
"As a small, husband and wife team, we are deeply thankful to be
one of the only restaurants in Southeastern Connecticut to be recognized for
this distinction," said Standridge. "We look forward to our bright
future and can't wait to share all the wonderful bottles and
producers that we have yet to discover with our guests."
The full list of Restaurant Awards can be found at
Restaurants.WineSpectator.com, where winners can be searched by
location and sorted by name, proximity, award level, cuisine and
pricing.
