2018 Award of Excellence by Wine Spectator – The Steakhouse at Flying Horse is among Nation’s Winners; Full 2018 Dining Guide Revealed in Wine Spectator’s August Issue
Colorado Springs, CO – August 2018 — The Steakhouse has been honored for its outstanding wine program in Wine Spectator’s 2018 Restaurant Awards. The restaurant is recognized among other winners from all over the globe as a top destination for wine lovers.
“This year’s class of restaurants is one of the most impressive and innovative ever,” said Marvin R. Shanken, Editor and Publisher, Wine Spectator. “Their wine lists keep improving, because wine lovers are eager to explore and learn. The goal of our Restaurant Awards is to support restaurant wine programs and bring them to diners’ attention through our outreach through print, digital and social media. Wine Spectator salutes every restaurant honored in the 2018 Restaurant Awards.”
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—with 2,453; 1,215; and 91 winners this year in each respective category. Seven of the Grand Award winners are first timers. The credibility that comes with being recognized by a high-quality publication such as Wine Spectator is quite the accomplishment for a relatively new restaurant such as The Steakhouse at Flying Horse, especially in Colorado Springs — a market where only three restaurants were awarded this prestigious designation. The 2018 Award of Excellence indicates that The Steakhouse at Flying Horse is quickly becoming one of the region’s leaders for premium wine lists. “It’s a great honor to be included as a Wine Spectator Restaurant Award Winner. Being among all the other fantastic restaurants recognized is a goal our team has worked toward achieving since opening The Steakhouse in 2015.” said Wendy McHenry, Flying Horse General Manager.
The Award of Excellence 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 complete list of award winners is available in print in Wine Spectator’s August issue, on newsstands July 17, and online at Restaurants.WineSpectator.com, where visitors can search and access exclusive content on the more than 3,700 restaurants. The full list is also available for free on iOS via the Restaurant Awards app, which allows users to look for dining spots in any location with maps, choosing by wine strengths, cuisine type, pricing and more.
