America's 100 Best Wine Restaurants 2018

When Chef Amanda Cohen opened her vegetarian fine-dining restaurant 10 years ago, she kicked off a movement. She continues to innovate by shifting to a tasting menu format and a new wine program, created by Lauren Friel, which exclusively features wineries helmed by women.

From the Sommelier: “I’m obviously excited to champion more estates run by women! I’m also really excited to see more people of color and LGBTQ+ people gaining visibility in the field. We need more diversity in our industry so we can continue to grow and innovate.” —Lauren Friel, Dirt Candy
