2 Edison Restaurants Win 2023 Wine Spectator Award

EDISON, NJ – Two Edison restaurants were recently named among Wine Spectator's 2023 Restaurant Award Winners.

Seasons 52 on 217 Lafayette Road and Deccan Spice on 153 Wood Ave., won the Award of Excellence.

This year, Wine Spectator awarded more than 3,500 restaurants worldwide. To qualify for the "Award of Excellence," a restaurant needs "well-curated lists with approximately 90 selections or more." This year, 2001 locations worldwide received this award.

The list's highest honor is the Grand Award, which goes to restaurants with "world-class wine programs" that typically feature at least 1,000 selections. Only 93 restaurants worldwide have received the accolade, including two in New Jersey - The Pluckemin Inn (Bedminster) and Restaurant Latour (Hamburg).

"Even while dealing with the challenges that linger from the pandemic, restaurants around the world have found ways not only to excel and distinguish themselves with wine, but to exceed their previous accomplishments," Cassia Schifter of Wine Spectator writes.
