Cheers to Poogan’s Porch! The oldest restaurant in downtown Charleston recently received the “2007 Award of Excellence” from Wine Spectator magazine, making this the fourth consecutive year that Wine Spectator magazine has awarded Poogan’s Porch with this honor.
Since opening in 1976, Poogan’s Porch has continued to provide its renowned level of excellence by continually upgrading its facilities and staff. A state-of-the-art, 1500-bottle wine cellar was built in 2005 that displays the current wine selection, which has been tripled since opening. The wine menu now boasts 250 bottles and 28 wines by the glass. Brad Ball, Managing Partner of Poogan’s, was the man behind the wine program revitalization. A graduate of the French Culinary Institute in New York, Ball trained under some of the top chefs and sommeliers in the Big Apple before returning to Poogan’s in 2006. Also in 2006, Ball earned the distinction of “Certified Sommelier” from the Court of Master Sommeliers.
