Star Wine List of the Year 2025, Silver Star, Best Newcomer List

Best Newcomer List 2025

Star Wine List is an international competition that celebrates the world's best wine lists, assessed not on size or cellar value but on curation, how thoughtfully a list is built, how well it complements the food, and how genuinely it invites a guest to explore.

The Best Newcomer List category recognises exactly that, but for restaurants and bars that have opened more recently. A Silver Star here means a wine programme judged exceptional right out of the gate, held to the same standard as venues with years, or decades, of history behind them.

For TOAST & OAK, this recognition in 2025 was an early marker that the wine list we set out to build, considered, approachable and worth exploring, was landing exactly as intended, right from opening.
