Some Honolulu's best chefs and restaurants are in the spot light this week on Sunrise on KGMB9. Honolulu Magazine is set to announce the winners of its 25th annual Hale Aina Awards this Sunday night and you're invited. Ramsay Wharton is live from Vino Italian Tapas and Wine Bar to tell us more.

Vino Italian Tapas and Wine Bar is a delightful cafe setting that transports you to Italy.  Master Sommelier offers up fantastic, affordable wine selections with care to bring in unique, regional wines to compliment the flavors of the Mediterranean created in the rustic dishes of Chef Keith Endo. Wines served in the 2 ounce and 5 ounce glasses encourage diners to enjoy the vino, with $2.50 and up, with bottles starting as low as $25.

Vino Italian Tapas and Wine Bar recieved last year's 2008 Hale Aina Award Gold Medal for Best Wine Program.
