Episode 205: We Reviewed 25,000 Wines This Year—These Are the Top 3

It's officially the best time of the year—and we're not talking about the holidays. We just dropped The Enthusiast 100 , the mother of all year-end wine lists. Every year, our reviewers blind-taste 25,000 wines from all over the world. This annual list, ranked from 100 to 1, celebrates the bottles that impressed us the most in 2025. For this episode of the Wine Enthusiast Podcast, we sat down with the writers at large who reviewed the top three bottles on the list. We talked about the visionary winemakers behind them, the history of their regions, and what makes these wines so exceptional and worth seeking out. Is there a guest you want us to interview?
