Chef Emeril’s vision has always incorporated quality wine to complement the cuisine and the service. As we transition to Chef Patron EJ Lagasse’s leadership and draw inspiration and guidance from his vision, no effort has been spared in ensuring that this remains one of the nation’s most prestigious wine programs. Whether you are looking for the rarest bottlings from around the world, or a great value from an underrepresented wine region, know that these pages contain an ongoing conversation with the wide world of Wine.

The cellar at Emeril’s has the distinction of being cultivated for over 30 years. This unbroken history has put us in the unique position of being able to offer wines spanning the better part of the last century. Accordingly, the depth and breadth of verticals contained within this list is its most striking aspect.

Emeril’s first earned the coveted Wine Spectator Grand Award in 1999. This accolade marks this collection as one of the world’s top wine lists. It denotes an elevated approach to service, a dedication to proper storage, and a thoughtful through line for organizing and growing the selections. This distinction would not be possible without the dedication of the seasoned staff and management and the work of all those that have preceded us over the last three decades. We are both humbled and proud to carry that honor to this day.

As we move ever forward, the list develops, much like a bottle of wine, gaining depth and rewarding the keen observer with nuance. We keep exploring new areas of interest as our approach evolves and the times change. We promise to never rest in our mission of bringing you the best.
