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?

Over the past 20 years, Bravo has secured a firm grasp on the reality TV landscape—but it's not just a one-way screen. It's a mirror, too. Drinking culture has evolved dramatically, and that shift is clearly reflected in the Bravo universe. In this episode. Wine Enthusiast and Elissa Halperin (writer, producer and Bravo superfan) explore the history of alcohol on Bravo—and the way it mirrors broader societal drinking trends, from moderation to excess to today's era of "wellness."
