Mill’s Tavern earned a 2014 Award of Excellence from Wine Spectator magazine. The award, considered a top honor among restaurateurs and guests alike, honors Mill’s Tavern for having “one of the most outstanding restaurant wine lists in the world,” according to the lifestyle magazine.

Wine Spectator started its awards program in 1981 to recognize the world’s best wine lists. The Award of Excellence celebrates those wine lists offering an interesting and diverse selection of wines that match the restaurant’s cuisine in price and style.

Mill’s made some strategic changes this year, resulting in a solid, 175-selection wine list with a strong concentration in California labels. Judges liked the well-chosen selections from quality producers, along with a thematic match to the menu in both price and style. The restaurant also earned this distinction in 2004.
