Two Philadelphia Restaurants Named Among Nation's Best For Wine

Wine Enthusiast has released its list of America’s 100 Best Wine Restaurants and two Philadelphia spots have made the cut.

A.kitchen+bar and Zahav are on the list of the country’s best places to eat and drink wine.

A.kitchen+bar, with two locations in Philadelphia, offers wines that “are grown with minimal intervention in the vineyard or winery...without undue dependence upon manipulative technologies,” according to Wine Enthusiast.

“You’ll find a lot of offbeat wines, but also well-established appellations and iconic winemakers,” the restaurant’s wine director tells Wine Enthusiast.

Zahav, located at 237 St. James Place, offers modern Israeli cuisine and has the largest selection of Israeli wines in the country, according to Wine Enthusiast.

The publication says restauranteur Michael Solomonov has a commitment to “pairing his food with the region’s wines, revelatory with dishes like house-smoked sable with challah, egg and poppy, or duck hearts with grapes, green tehina, pine nuts and ramp greens.”
