Cru Restaurant and Wine Bar in Nisswa is being highlighted as one of the best restaurants around the world that offers the best wine selections.
The Nisswa restaurant was honored in Wine Spectator's 2017 Restaurant Awards and it will be featured in Wine Spectator's August issue. Cru is housed at Grand View Lodge and features a vast cellar of more than 2,000 bottles of worldly wines and offers more than 25 wines by the glass, it states on its website.
Wine Spectator is the world's leading authority on wine, according to a press release. Wine Spectator is a print publication reaching more than three million readers worldwide. Wine Spectator examines the world of wine from the vineyard to the table, exploring wine's role in contemporary culture and delivering expert reviews of more than 18,000 wines each year.
Wine Spectator recently released the winners of the 2017 Restaurant Awards. This year, the Restaurant Awards program honors 3,592 dining destinations from 50 states in the U.S. and more than 75 countries internationally.

"Restaurants continue to raise their game when it comes to wine, and we are particularly proud to present this year's winners," Marvin R. Shanken, Wine Spectator editor and publisher, stated. "As wine becomes more important to diners, the awards program is thriving-with an increasing number of entries."
All winners are profiled at Restaurants.WineSpectator.com and in the Restaurant Awards app-both of which were launched last year, and have since been updated with improved features, visuals and performance.
The Award of Excellence recognizes restaurants whose wine lists feature a well-chosen assortment of quality producers. Best of Award of Excellence recipients offer more extensive selections with significant vintage depth and excellent breadth across multiple regions.
The Grand Award is the program's highest honor. This group comprises the world's best wine programs, which deliver serious breadth of top producers, outstanding depth in mature vantages, excellent harmony with the menu and superior presentation.
