Michelin's Next Chapter Isn't on a Plate

The guide that has spent more than a century sending inspectors into dining rooms is opening a new ledger: wineries. Michelin, still best known to American diners as the outfit behind the star that can make or break a restaurant's night, is extending that same evaluative eye to the people who fill the glass beside the plate. For sommeliers and wine directors who build entire tasting menus around a single producer, it is a sign that the world's most closely watched dining authority now sees the vineyard as part of the same story as the kitchen.
