11 Central Ohio restaurants tapped in ‘Best Restaurants for Wine’ in 2025’s Wine Spectator Award


Craft cocktails were all the rage, then craft IPAs, then a shift towards more classic cocktails like martinis and cosmos, and then a shift towards pilsners and lagers. But there’s one drink that seems to never go out of style, even though it’s been around for hundreds of years: wine.
Wine Spectator, a print & digital publication known for being one of the world’s leading authority on wine and restaurants, released their 2025 Restaurant Awards a couple of days ago, and eleven exceptional Central Ohio restaurants earned a place on the “Best Restaurants for Wine” list.

This year’s recipients were rated on their meticulous wine programs and curated lists that offer diners a unique opportunity to choose wines that one wouldn’t easily find at a local wine store. These awards were also given to restaurants that skillfully match their wine selections with their culinary offerings, and the restaurants had to have an array of 100 or more wines to choose from.
Without further ado, here’s where you can grab a great dinner paired with a fabulous wine here in Central Ohio:
