WINE LIST Stephen Elhafdi, Wine Director/Sommelier The Goodstone Inn & Restaurant has more than 820 wine selections from the world’s greatest wine regions. Each wine has been hand-selected and specifically chosen to complement our current menu. We also offer an extensive list of wines by the glass, local wines, aperitifs, and after dinner selections. RETAIL WINE We are also excited to announce the launch of our new retail wine program, which offers bottles and cases of wine which are reasonably priced and not readily available in most markets. Our Sommelier, Stephen Elhafdi, will offer his expertise and personalized service as a complimentary consultant to you as you build your own wine cellar or make individual purchases targeted for special events. CORKAGE POLICY We recognize the occasional desire of our guests to enjoy special bottles of wine from their own cellars, and we will serve and care for these wines as if they were our own. However, our policy is that there is a limit of two bottles per table, regardless of the size of the party, and the fee is priced at $45.00 for each 750ml bottle. In addition, we also ask that these wines do not appear on our list.

Area: Restaurants with the Most Notable Wine List 2018 Stephen Elhafdi, Wine Director/Sommelier With over 32 years of hospitality experience in the Metropolitan Washington, D.C. area, Stephen Elhafdi brings an impressive blend of expertise and enthusiasm to the Goodstone Inn & Restaurant in Middleburg, Virginia. A native of Morocco, Mr. Elhafdi came to the United States as an apprentice to work with his uncle Marc Fusilier, the internationally acclaimed Maître Cuisinier de France and Commanderie des Cordons Bleus de France. They worked together for 14 years at the upscale Chez Marc, Restaurant Français, in Virginia. He eventually transitioned from the kitchen to the front of the house, and seriously began to pursue his studies in the fine art of food and wine pairings. For the next decade, he worked with the legendary restaurateur and Chef Bob Kinkead in Washington, D.C. At the height of Chef Kinkead’s success in multiple locations, Mr. Elhafdi helped to build a global wine list of over 750 wines. He managed an inventory in excess of 6,000 bottles and over a million dollars in annual wine sales. In 2013, Mr. Elhafdi accepted the position of Sommelier at the Goodstone Inn & Restaurant, working hand-in-hand with Executive Chef Jan Van Haute and the General Manager Gordon Leigh. Set on a 265 acre estate in Virginia’s wine country, Goodstone Inn & Restaurant is a luxurious country Inn and award-winning French/American restaurant situated on an actual working farm. Within the restaurant, Escoffier-trained Chef Jan and Mr. Elhafdi offer an extensive farm-to-table dining experience, with wine pairings perfectly matched to a variety of menus, including a daily à la carte, prix-fixe, dégustation and ‘Chef’s Surprise’ Menu for lunch only, six days a week. Mr. Elhafdi also created Goodstone’s Retail Wine Club program, and regularly hosts a series of popular food and wine events at the Restaurant, featuring well-known international winemakers. He also offers complimentary consulting services to our guests as they build their personal wine cellars, or make individual purchases targeted towards special events. At the Goodstone Inn & Restaurant, Mr. Elhafdi maintains a wine list of over 820 selections, many of which have been specifically chosen for the current season and dinner menu. Goodstone also has a temperature-controlled, 4000-bottle wine cellar, an extremely popular private dining space for special events or exclusive wine dinners. In addition, Goodstone has ten EuroCaves, housing up to 1500 additional bottles.
