Top Wines: 2025 Wine Expo Georgia (Tbilisi), June 6th to 8th

Sharing is caring!

Wine Expo Georgia is the biggest wine trade show in Georgia (country). In 2025 it ran from Friday, June 6th to Sunday, June 8th. Over 140 producers were represented. My top wines are below, and also you will find the official judging panel list (headed by Tim Atkin MW).

I managed to taste 364 wines + 1 whisky, from 92 producers. Large and small, natural and not.

We had perfect weather, dry and not too hot with nice breezes!

The majority were rated “good” or “acceptable”. And by this, I mean wines that we can objectively say to have merit and enjoyable characteristics that make them successful.

I should be clear, that “good” really is good enough. These are wines you’d enjoy drinking. Getting a higher rating than “good” means producing a wine that stands out against all other wines tasted (above average), with better balance and relevant characteristics.

Some were rated “poor” or “faulty”. These are wines that would not be recommended at all (poor wines) or had suffered from wine faults such as volatile acidity, TCA (cork taint), volatile sulfur compounds, etc. at a level to make the wines unpalatable. Young wines with overly crazy tannins were excluded, even if they may be a lot better in a couple of years – there were a lot of these 2024 wines this year.

Though I try to be as objective as possible in these assessments, some things should be taken into account:

  • Blind tasting was not possible so small biases may exist inadvertently.
  • The tasting environment of a busy event is not ideal and some factors affect the tasting:
    • Environmental odors – from people walking around with coffee to strong perfume, etc. In addition, surrounded by trees, BBQ (mtsvadi) smoke occasionally billowing past.
    • Full rinsing of glasses between every tasting was impractical, though we tried as best as possible.
  • It was relatively hot in the outdoor sections, and some wines couldn’t be served at the correct temperature, but I tried to account for this.
  • I normally say “Let me taste your best 2 or 3”, rather than “hey, I like saperavi”, so a disproportionate number of better wines tasted, typically.

We only tasted a fraction of what was on offer. Some notes on that:

  • Some winemakers were at festivals in May/June (Including Zero Compromise | New Wine Festival| Wyndham & Saamuri | Bolnisi PDO Festival). So I did not repeat these. This means that some great winemakers who made those lists like Solomone, Baia’s wines etc. didn’t get tasted.
  • I tried to balance between small, medium, and large producers.
  • I did not taste every wine from each vendor we tried.
  • There were well over 1000 wines available. I am only one human. Lol. 365 in 3 days was my record to date, with 129 wines on day 1! So, a pretty good tally!

So, I definitely will have missed some excellent wines. But from what we did taste, I hope you will enjoy discovering some of the below which I gave upper category ratings.

Important Notes On The Official Release Of Award Winning Wines By Expo

An international panel of wine experts, led by MW Tim Atkin, rated a submitted selection of wines. The full awards list was posted on the Wine Expo Facebook page, and I have also included that full list below my list.

If you are not familiar with how the awards are set up, here are some notes that may interest you.

  • As with previous years only wines that wineries pay to submit for judging are included in the panel. So the judging pool is made from wines that wineries believe have the best chance of an award.
  • The panel is a wide selection of sommeliers, enologists and other wine experts from Georgia but also many international judges. Headed by MW Tim Atkin (UK).
  • As multiple smaller wineries have told me, they don’t have the budget to submit numerous wines for assessment. Some small winemakers, who I did rate some of their wines highly in my scoring below, actually told me they submitted no wines this year at all.
  • Award criteria this year as I know was 85-89 bronze, 90-94 silver, and 95-100 gold.
  • There were a lot of wines I didn’t get to taste at all that won awards. There were a lot of wines I tasted that I know were not submitted.
  • Thanks to the judges for their work and insights! As always, they are doing a stellar job!

My Rating System

Ratings are based on Balance / Length / Intensity / Complexity and Style (ie. how they fit within the category of the style/intention of the wine). A “very good” rating would be made when 3 to 4 of these criteria have been met successfully. Some consideration is given to young wines that have the potential to arrive at this level in an expected timeframe of aging.

I’m offering a simple statement of wines I consider above average, not giving a score out of 100.

There are many more wine festivals coming soon, and we intend to publish our favorites for those too.

Wine Expo Georgia, Tbilisi (Fri June 6th to Sun June 8th, 2024)

365 tastings, from 92 wineries (including 1 whisky).

In order of which I did the tastings, not in order of preference. 

Most wines below achieved “very good” or better. But I’ve also included a few that were on the cusp from good to very good and also deserved a mention. Note my “personal top picks” were based on a more subjective bias of wine styles I love. But everything on the list in general I’ve rated as objectively as possible.
