Now in its seventh year, the annual Wine & Spirits event held tomorrow — Wednesday October Layout 113 from 6:30 to 8:30  — honors the 100 wineries that delivered the best overall performances in the magazine’s tastings conducted during the past year. The “Wineries of the Year” will be profiled in the Winter issue of Wine & Spirits,  available now on newsstands.

In addition to the Wineries of the Year, Wine & Spirits recognizes its “New & Notable” restaurants in the Bay Area that include Baker & Banker, Barbacco, Comstock Saloon, Diamond Lil “Bustaurant”, Heirloom Café, Hibiscus, Hog & Rocks, Locanda da Eva, Nombe, and Saison.

Each restaurant will serve bites of a signature dish paired with wines featured at the tasting. Guests will also enjoy specialties from local artisanal purveyors, including Hog Island Oysters, Nicasio Valley Cheese, Zoe’s Meats, Socola Chocolate, The Crème Brule Cart and Barefoot Coffee Roasters.
