"Instantly became my new favorite wine shop in the Boston area. Patrick is extremely knowledgeable and has always recommended me great wines. Amazing selection and good prices. This is definitely the shop to go for your wine!"

"Winestone is a wonderful attitude-free resource. I can walk in hunting the perfect burger wine or pairings for an eight course dinner menu and confidently leave with a great bottle for each course matching my budget. Patrick and his staff are deeply knowledgeable, thoughtful and great to work with. Don’t let the low-key shop exterior fool you-this is a serious place run with a smile."

"I love this wine store, it sources unique wines globally and offers the full spectrum of flavor palettes at all different price points. I always walk away with something delicious to bring as a gift or take home to try. The owner keeps a log of my purchases so I don’t forget what I like! This is a family run store owned by local people who love wine and neighbors! Try it out."

★★★★★

"We had a wonderful experience at Winstone thanks to Patrick, the owner. He helped select a beautiful variety of wines for my friend’s wedding, and his recommendation of a Sancerre was the best I’ve ever had, it’s now our go-to wine. Patrick is patient, knowledgeable, and incredibly helpful. Highly recommend Winestone for both special occasions and everyday favourites."

The Winestone Difference

Wine bottle selection at Winestone, Chestnut Hill neighborhood wine shop

At Winestone, we want buying wine to feel easy, not intimidating. Our shop is designed differently, but the idea is simple: good wine, thoughtfully chosen, at fair prices. You may not see the same big-name bottles you find everywhere else, and that is intentional. We look for wines with character, balance, and value, and we taste what we buy so we can stand behind what is on the shelf.

What matters most is helping you find the right bottle. Maybe it is for dinner, a gift, a party, or just week night pizza. We are happy to talk through what you like, what you are eating, and what you want to spend. Our team brings years of restaurant and wine experience, but we keep the conversation practical and friendly. We also carry a small, carefully chosen selection of spirits and sake, and if there is something you are looking for, just ask and we'll try to special order it.

August 29: Four Wines for the Waning Days of Summer

Labor Day weekend is just around the corner, but summer is not quite finished. The days are still warm, the grill is still going, and there are plenty of reasons to gather around the table with family and friends.

This week’s wines are made for those last leisurely days of summer. We’ll pour two crisp, mineral whites that are perfect with seafood and lighter fare, followed by two fresh, food-friendly reds that can move easily from salmon and roast chicken to pizza and the grill. Whether you are heading to the beach, hosting friends or simply enjoying one more summer dinner outside, any of these would be right at home on the table.

2025 Domaine Chavet Fils Menetou-Salon “La Côte” Blanc: $25

A terrific alternative for Sancerre lovers, this 100% Sauvignon Blanc comes from nearby Menetou-Salon and similar Kimmeridgian limestone soils. Dry and crisp, with lemon and lime, subtle herbal notes and flinty mineral freshness. Pair with oysters, clams, lobster, grilled fish or goat cheese.

A 100% Albariño from Salnés, the coolest and most maritime part of Rías Baixas. Fermented in stainless steel and aged briefly on the lees, it combines stone fruit and citrus with bright acidity and a distinctive saline, mineral finish. Pair with oysters, shrimp, ceviche, sushi or grilled fish.

2025 Burgans Albariño: $23

2022 Brassfield Estate Pinot Noir: $25

An estate-grown Pinot Noir from the cool, high-elevation High Valley AVA in Lake County. Fresh and balanced, with cherry, raspberry and pomegranate, earthy savory notes, soft tannins and lively acidity. Pair with salmon, roast chicken, pork, mushrooms or charcuterie.

2024 Poderi Boscarelli “Prugnolo” Rosso di Montepulciano: $25

A fresh Tuscan red made from 85% Prugnolo Gentile, the local name for Sangiovese, and 15% Mammolo. Aged in concrete rather than oak, it stays bright and aromatic, with cherry, plum, violet and savory spice. Pair with pizza, tomato-based pasta, roast chicken, grilled sausages or aged pecorino.
