SoDel Concepts restaurants receive Wine Spectator Awards

For the fifth consecutive year, Wine Spectator has honored four SoDel Concepts restaurants with Awards of Excellence.

The restaurants earning recognition are Catch 54 in Fenwick Island, Bluecoast Seafood Grill + Raw Bar in Bethany Beach, and Bluecoast Seafood Grill + Raw Bar and Lupo Italian Kitchen in Rehoboth Beach.

According to Wine Spectator, Awards of Excellence are given to restaurants that feature a well-chosen assortment of quality producers, along with a thematic match to the menu in both price and style. Whether compact or extensive, focused or diverse, these lists deliver sufficient choice to satisfy discerning wine lovers. These lists typically offer 90 or more options.

In total, nine Delaware restaurants earned awards.

“We work hard to make sure our wines cater to a variety of palates and budgets,” said Mike Zygmonski, SoDel Concepts’ wine program director. “The list must be balanced and creative so our adventurous guests can also try something fun and exciting.”

SoDel Concepts is equally dedicated to wine education so the team can help guests select a wine that complements the meal. At Lupo Italian Kitchen, the wine list comprises all Italian products.

“Mike and his team are pivotal to SoDel Concepts’ success,” said Scott Kammerer, president of the hospitality group, which has 17 restaurants in Delaware. “Winning the Wine Spectator Award of Excellence for five consecutive years is a testament to their knowledge, judgment and enthusiasm.”
