Last year’s event saw the much-loved New York City wine bar Terroir Tribeca take the coveted Overall Wine List of the Year, beating off strong competition from a truly international field, with fellow NYC venue Eleven Madison Park taking the Champions’ League Best Overall Wine List, meaning the city took the two biggest prizes on the night.
