"Wine has always been inherent to Michelin's charge-after all, its top-rated restaurants boast extensive curated wine lists and first-class sommeliers to promote them. This week, it announced a new category of awards devoted to wine in and of itself, focusing its attention to wine producers. Where restaurants receive "stars" and hotels receive "keys," vineyards and wine estates will be awarded "grapes," in familiar increments of one, two, or three."
"George McNally, the son of restaurateur and memoirist Keith McNally, is opening his first restaurant, reported Emily Sundberg on her Substack Feed Me. The as-of-yet unnamed restaurant will be in Tribeca at 277 Church Street a stone's throw from father Keith McNally's very first restaurant, The Odeon. The concept will be "French, but maybe out of indecisiveness veering towards a more coastal and Mediterranean side," George told Sundberg."
Michelin introduced a new awards category called "grapes" to honor vineyards and wine estates, awarded in one-, two-, or three-grape increments. The new category emphasizes wine producers separately from restaurant stars and hotel keys and highlights the role of curated wine lists and sommeliers. George McNally, son of restaurateur Keith McNally, plans his first restaurant at 277 Church Street in Tribeca, describing the concept as French leaning toward coastal and Mediterranean. George has worked as a bartender at Balthazar and plans to open in May with architect-designer Ian McPheely. Additional items include a dine-and-dash influencer incident at Riker's and a recipe copyright settlement.
