2008 Wine Spectator “Award of Excellence”

Although our many years have taught us that the only opinion that really matters is yours – our customers’ – it’s always nice to get a pat on the back like this.

Thanks to Kathy’s careful attention, the Jackalope Grill is one of only a handful of Bend restaurants to have its wine list recognized by Wine Spectator. Among Bend recipients, the Jackalope is the only restaurant rated as “Inexpensive,” meaning we offer many bottles for less than $50, while also applying a below-normal markup.

According to the magazine, “Wine Spectator’s Restaurant Awards recognize restaurants whose wine lists offer interesting selections, are appropriate to their cuisine and appeal to a wide range of wine lovers.”

A complete list of 2008 Restaurant Award winners is published in the August issue of Wine Spectator, and the magazine’s website lists all the Bend winners.
