31: The Top 10 Wines of 2025, and the Man Behind No. 1

It's time to count down Wine Spectator's Top 10 Wines of 2025 (top100.winespectator.com/2025)! And we're talking to the man behind our 2025 Wine of the Year—both before and after he heard the big news.

Join host James Molesworth and director Rob Taylor as they reveal the most exciting wines of 2025, and then Château Giscoirs' Alexander Van Beek joins the program to talk about his life in wine, and then tell us what it was like to find out his decades of hard work have been rewarded with our highest honor.
