J&G STEAKHOUSE<br />
The Phoenician’s J&G Steakhouse, a<br />
<strong>2018</strong> Wine Spectator “Best of Award of<br />
Excellence” winner, reopened in September<br />
after a three-month-long refresh and revitalization.<br />
But fear not, the wine program<br />
was not only maintained, but enhanced.<br />
The menu has 450 selections and more<br />
than 3,000 bottles. The offerings especially<br />
excel in pairing varietals from California and<br />
Burgundy, France, with the restaurant's<br />
award-winning menu, which was developed<br />
by lauded chef de cuisine Jacques Qualin.<br />
If you’re a first-timer, opt for the five-course<br />
chef’s tasting menu with sommelier-chosen<br />
wine pairings. You certainly won’t be sorry.<br />

LON’S AT THE<br />
HERMOSA INN<br />
Lon’s features nearly 700 selections on its<br />
wine list and is a <strong>2018</strong> Wine Spectator<br />
“Best of Award of Excellence” winner. The<br />
diverse selection is a perfect mix of small,<br />
sought-after boutique winery offerings with<br />
limited-production and well-known favorites<br />
from across the globe. The price points are<br />
similarly diverse, with budget-friendly options<br />
as well as those worth a splurge on a special<br />
occasion. The 6,000-bottle inventory is<br />
housed in three separate climate-controlled<br />
rooms, one of which is an underground<br />
functioning wine cellar. Lon’s even offers the<br />
chance for guests to dine in the subterranean<br />
wine cellar. www.hermosainn.com.<br />
