Casa Juancho has the Best Spanish Wine List in Florida 2025
The Best Spanish Wine List in Florida can be found in Miami, at Little Havana’s Casa Juancho, as announced at Star Wine List of the Year Florida 2025 this week.
On 8 May, Star Wine List’s Founder Krister Bengtsson and Miami Ambassador Jacqueline Coleman presented our first ever awards ceremony in Florida, during Vinexpo America at the Miami Beach Convention Center.
Gold Stars were presented in nine categories, including a special local category for the Best Spanish Wine List, sponsored by Familia Torres. This went to the exuberant Casa Juancho, which specialises in paella – and excellent wines.
“This is one of the most impressive Spanish wine lists I’ve come across in recent years,” said judge Salvatore Castano, “showing a deep commitment to Spanish culture, with an outstanding focus not just on iconic names but also on lesser-known regions and producers.”
Take a look at our full list of winners across Florida.

Judges
The jury panel for Star Wine List of the Year Florida 2025 comprised four top sommeliers from around the world:
• Salvatore Castano – Best Sommelier of Europe and Africa 2021 (ASI)
• Kathrine Larsen-Robert – Master Sommelier
• Pascaline Lepeltier – Best Sommelier of France 2018
• Doug Frost – Master Sommelier, Master of Wine
Categories and criteria
Star Wine List judges the wine lists in several categories such as the Best Sparkling Wine List and Best By the Glass List. These categories are the same across all of the awards. In addition, local categories may be added. We have commercial partners for certain categories, such as the Best Austrian Wine List, presented by Austrian Wine. The commercial partners are, however, never involved in the selections of finalists or winners — that is completely up to our independent jury panel.
The criteria for the jury are straightforward but not simple: vote for the most exciting wine list representing the category.
The winners in the international categories will qualify for our International Final in June 2025, where they will face off with the category winners from other countries and continents.
