Wine Enthusiast Podcast

Wine and football have been on the same team for some time now, with notable players like Charles Woodson, Drew Bledsoe, and Dan Marino stepping into the world. Joining that lineup is Will Blackmon, former Super Bowl champion, 12-year NFL veteran, and founder of Blackmon Cellars and The Wine MVP.  Will approached wine the same way he approached football: with total commitment. He immersed himself in education, mastering everything from vineyard farming to the business of wine, and on some days could be found tending vines straight after practice. Now, Will remains deeply focused on education—continuing to learn himself while sharing that knowledge with aspiring enthusiasts.

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.
