Central Coast restaurant moves to the forefront with recent accolade

San Luis Obispo, CA – Wine Enthusiast magazine (winemag.com) announced Foremost Wine Co. of San Luis Obispo (foremostwineco.com) among the top 100 wine restaurants in America for 2015. The annual “100 Best Wine Restaurants” issue hit stands July 7.

“Our wine list includes everything from international to hyper-local bottles, but the common thread is that they’re all hand-made, a little geeky, and close to their roots, just like Chef Julie Simon’s cuisine,” said Owner, Rob Murray. Murray and the Foremost team worked together to curate the globe-trotting wine list, which includes Murray’s wine brands Tooth & Nail, Amor Fati, Stasis and Force of Nature.

Wine Enthusiast informs thousands of wine lovers and gourmands how to travel and dine across the country. According to their website, the 100 Best Wine Restaurants list “caters to those looking to drink up while dining out. The focus is firmly on wine (although delicious, creative cuisine is kind of a prerequisite), and our editors scoured the nation for unique wine programs.”

Foremost Wine Co.’s commitment to hand-made wine and cuisine is possible via the support of local farms from which they source their produce, as well as Rabble Wine Co., which encompasses Murray’s four brands showcasing vineyards across Paso Robles and Santa Barbara County.
