The Steakhouse at Flying Horse Earns Wine Spectator Restaurant Award in 2020
 
Colorado Springs, CO – July 2020) — The Steakhouse at Flying Horse has been honored for its outstanding wine program in Wine Spectator’s 2020 Restaurant Awards. The annual program, which recognizes restaurants around the world as the top destinations for wine lovers, successfully moved forward this year despite the effects of COVID-19.
 
“This year’s Wine Spectator Restaurant Award program celebrates restaurants’ resilience, dedication and bravery during these unprecedented times,” said Marvin R. Shanken, Editor and Publisher, Wine Spectator. “We hope that all of our award winners and the people who make them special will find their way through the crisis to once again welcome us through their doors. We look forward to raising a glass together, and to new beginnings.”
 
“It is an incredible honor for The Steakhouse at Flying Horse to have earned the coveted Award of Excellence designation from Wine Spectator for the third consecutive year. Our team is delighted to be part of such an incredible group of restaurants who share the passion for curating delightful and memorable wine lists.” said Kevin Anderson, Food and Beverage Director.
 
Wine Spectator began its program to recognize the world’s best wine lists in 1981. There are three levels: the Award of Excellence, the Best of Award of Excellence and the Grand Award—with 2,289; 1,387; and 100 winners this year in each respective category.
 
The Award of Excellence recognizes restaurants whose wine lists feature a well-chosen assortment of quality producers along with a thematic match to the menu in both price and style.

Wine Spectator’s special Restaurant Awards issue—which features Chef José Andrés on the cover—becomes available to readers July 14.

The unveiling of the 2020 award winners follows up on the Wine Spectator Scholarship Foundation’s contribution of $250,000 in April to World Central Kitchen, led by José Andrés. The donation helped support the charity’s mission of feeding those in need, a cause all the more urgent amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

Located at 1880 Weiskopf Point (80921) in Colorado Springs, The Steakhouse at Flying Horse opened in 2015 and is a three-time recipient of the Award of Excellence from Wine Spectator (2018, 2019, 2020).

Words cannot describe how grateful we are for all of the encouraging comments, emails, texts and phone calls that we have been receiving from you. This is a challenging time for everyone and your words of encouragement mean so much to us.
During these times it feels as though situations are changing by the second, please understand that we will continually adjust our operation as up to date information is processed by our team. I believe that providing current information is important to our membership, so please take a moment to read further communications from the Club.

When the current snow clears, the golf course and outdoor tennis and pickleball courts will be open for play. Please come out and get some fresh air and sunshine! Normal membership rules apply for these areas. Click HERE to view Tennis & Golf Information and HERE to view the Golf Course Aerification Information. 

We began offering a curbside pickup menu at the Clubhouse on Tuesday and appreciate the support from everyone who has taken advantage of the service. This is a new and very different way of doing business for us and we have been working on efficiencies with the operations. We appreciate everyone’s patience and understanding as we “fine tune” things in order to provide a great experience for you. NEW! We are now able to offer curbside beer and wine sales. Please click HERE to view our new Curbside Menu.

At this time, we are utilizing the current closure to get maintenance projects completed and deep clean both the Athletic Club and Clubhouse areas. A few of the projects would have required future closure of specific areas and we are getting them finished now. In addition, our golf course staff is busy getting the course ready for the season. We have been able to offer additional hours to our displaced staff in some of these areas as well.

Many of you have inquired about our dues structure going forward. Dues will continue to be billed normally but the dues increase scheduled for April 1 will be postponed. This plan is necessary for the Club in order to maintain the facility, pay current financial obligations and most importantly be prepared for our reopening. Our main goal is to provide our membership a great place to relax and recreate as soon as possible.

We will continue to keep you informed via email as we work our way through this.  You can also reply to this email with specific questions and a member of our team will get back with you as quickly as possible.

Thank you,
Wendy McHenry
General Manager
