Praise from the Judges

Global Recognition for Excellence
Jonah’s wine list has received Australia’s Three Glass Rating every year since 2012 and Wine Spectator’s Best of Award of Excellence since 2011. Most recently, it was named Australasian Regional Winner for Best Long Wine List 2025 by The World of Fine Wine.
