America's 100 Best Wine Restaurants 2019
The Charter Oak,
St. Helena,
CA
This perennial favorite from the team behind The Restaurant at Meadowood has a neighborhood feel to match family-style plates. Except that the neighborhood is smack in the middle of wine country with a list that’s organized by the valley’s AVAs.
From The Sommelier: “We are seeing guests in the restaurant increasingly ask about farming techniques, responsible business practices within the wineries, and aspects of wine brands that previously were not at the forefront of the consumer’s decision-making process. I am excited to see interest in the story behind each wine, and to provide guests with a holistic look at a wine brand.” —David Kasper, The Charter Oak
Dish We Loved: Salad of broccolis, puffed grains, ricotta
