At Wine Enthusiast Magazine's Wine Star Awards ceremony on Monday night, a healthy handful of local names were recognized. William Foley, of Foley Family Wines got Man of the Year. Winemaker of the Year went to Genevieve Janssens of Robert Mondavi Winery. American Winery of the Year was awarded to J. Lohr Vineyards & Wines. And finally Tyler Florence won Restaurateur of the Year and was quoted: “It’s is a big honor for us to be named Restaurateur of the Year and we plan to use this as the stamp that says, ‘Yes you can do this’ as we take our next leap forward."
