Vinous Table: Napa in the City 2022: The BYOB Gala Dinner
United States: California, Vinous Table
, Feb 2023
Napa in the City is an event we have wanted to do for many years. The logistics of hosting such large events are pretty daunting, so the moment never seemed right. But, in 2022, as we emerged from the COVID-19 lockdown, the time finally did seem right to bring together a number of reference-point Napa Valley winemakers, our readers and the city’s top sommeliers for a weekend of great wine, food and conviviality for the inaugural edition of Napa in the City.

, Jan 2023
Moor Hall completely blew me away; lofty expectations surpassed and then some. It takes the best parts of its peers and combines them into something greater.
Vinous Table: Guido Ristorante, Piedmont, Italy
Vinous Table, Italy: Piedmont
, Dec 2022
Guido Ristorante remains one of my very favorite spots in Piedmont. Food, service and hospitality are absolutely top-notch.
Vinous Table: Guido da Costigliole, Cuneo, Italy
Italy, Vinous Table
, Dec 2022
Readers visiting Piedmont should carve out the time to go to Guido at the Relais San Maurizio. The hotel is wonderful too, should you not want to leave. Andrea Alciati, Monica Magnani and the team at Guido are at the top of their game.
Vinous Table: Wild Flor, Brighton, UK
United Kingdom, Vinous Table
, Nov 2022
Wild Flor is an outstanding addition to Brighton’s dining scene. After years of coasting, Brighton is finally waking up to the fact that it can coexist with the proliferation of casual gastropubs and vegan eateries. It was refreshing to see a serious, thoughtful wine list whose accumulative costs are probably a little more than that 1996 Chambertin! I cannot wait to return.
Vinous Table: Eike, Stellenbosch, South Africa
South Africa, Vinous Table
, Nov 2022
Eike lived up to expectations – the food was just delicious and exhibited just the right amount of flair whilst keeping it “real”.
Vinous Table: Andrew Edmunds, London, UK
United Kingdom, Vinous Table
, Oct 2022
I cannot recommend Andrew Edmunds highly enough, especially those seeking a place to eat that is suffused with history and draped with charm, a bit rustic and yet serves delicious food accompanied by a trove of vinous treats.
Vinous Table: The Sportsman, Kent, UK
United Kingdom, Vinous Table
, Sep 2022
I first heard about The Sportsman not long after it opened from a local friend, and it had only taken a couple of decades to visit. Thankfully, it did not disappoint. This is cooking where the chef wisely takes a back seat and allows the ingredients do all the talking.
Vinous Table: L’Espace PH3 Bistrot/La Pyramide, Vienne, France
Vinous Table, France
, NM
The hotel boasts two restaurants, the two Michelin-starred La Pyramide and a bistro, L’Espace PH3. On the first night, attendees convened at the bistro in order to mine its eye-boggling wine lists, and the following day, the second part of the Chambertin tasting was accompanied by a specially prepared menu in the flagship restaurant.
