Wine Spectator has posted a response to this sting or scam (depending on which side you are on).
It was certainly an elaborate hoax, perhaps a little too elaborate. But seeing as the entry fee was $250 I'd expect a little more effort on the part of WS to make sure that there is a restaurant!
EDIT: My copy of Gourmet Traveller - Wine arrived this week with a little booklet on Wine List of the Year Awards 2008. I'm assuming all the places listed exist!

If they don't, I'm sure we'll be hearing about them!
