Restaurant August Selected Among the World’s Best Restaurants for Wine

Restaurant August has been honored for its outstanding wine program in Wine Spectator’s 2025 Restaurant Awards, which celebrates the world’s best restaurants for wine. August’s award-winning wine list features 365 selections, and a growing cellar of nearly 3,600 bottles – an expansion of more than 30% over the past year. Recent additions highlight regions like Priorat and Portugal, as well as the rising popularity of lesser-known Burgundy villages such as Maranges. The restaurant has also expanded the by-the-glass offerings to include unique varietals like Timorasso from Italy’s Piedmont region.

Tyler Cox, Restaurant August Wine Director and Assistant General Manager, said “This honor affirms our commitment to thoughtful curation, dynamic offerings and exceptional service. From Old World classics to emerging regions, our evolving wine list is designed to elevate each guest’s journey through the menu and celebrate the rich culinary spirit that makes New Orleans so special.”
