The sequel to the inaugural China Wine List of the Year contest is underway, with March 15 the deadline for entering menus. Qualified menus will then face up to three levels of evaluation as the judges determine not only overall winners but also the worthiest in seven geographical regions.

Last year, Robuchon au Dome in Macau — which sports a 350-page menu covering a 10,000-plus bottle cellar — took top honors. The other finalists were Shanghai’s Fifty 8° Grill in the Mandarin Oriental Pudong and Napa Wine Bar & Kitchen, Hong Kong’s Oyster & Wine Bar in the Sheraton and Gaddi’s in the Peninsula, and Macau’s Aus Beaux Arts in the MGM. There were also awards in more than a dozen other categories, from best wine bar list to best wine-by-the-glass list.
