International California Wine List of the Year, presented by Pahlmeyer 2025
Monty’s of Kathmandu in Dublin has a wow factor wine list. It is Champagne hefty, and you can have a Krug experience if you want to splash out. There is a Santa Rita-sponsored private room where you can experience a bit of everything, from flights to the underground caves of the best Champagne has to offer. It doesn’t stop there; you can get from Alsace to China and many vineyards in between. All these wines can be paired with ‘Nepal’, Nepalese tapas.

More hotel restaurants need wine lists like Wilde’s. There are many unique features to this list, such as “The Irish Wine Geese” section (telling the story of how Irish folk brought famous wineries to life), an extensive selection of Charles Heidsieck Champagne, and an explorative by-the-glass program. If you are in the city of Dublin, Wilde is well worth visiting.
