Era Wine Bar was nominated for a prestigious restaurant award in the greater D.C. area.
The Mount Rainier wine bar is one of five finalists for “Wine Program of the Year” at the 2024 Rammy Awards from the Restaurant Association Metropolitan Washington in July.
The other nominees are in some of the most high-end dining areas in D.C.: Apéro in Georgetown, Irregardless on H Street, Lulu’s Wine Garden on U Street and St. Anselm at Union Market.
Era was nominated last year as well, but didn’t win.
The category honors the “quality, diversity, clarity and value” of Era’s wine program as well as if it “best suits the cuisine and style of the restaurant while enhancing the dining experience.”
In recent years, several Route 1 restaurants have been nominated for Rammys, including Spice Kitchen West African Grill at the miXt Food Hall in Brentwood and Tacos A La Madre in College Park, a sign of the local restaurant scene coming of age.
Winners have included Pennyroyal Station in Mount Rainier, Little Miner Taco in Brentwood and 2Fifty Texas BBQ in Riverdale Park.
This year’s winners will be announced at a gala on Sunday, July 21, 2024 at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center in D.C.
