Expert Advice

At Winestone, every bottle earns its place on the shelf. We look for wines with character, balance, and a sense of where they come from, whether it’s a longtime favorite or something new to discover. The result is a shop filled with bottles we genuinely believe in and are excited to recommend.

Join us for our weekly Saturday tastings, where we open a thoughtful lineup of wines and give you a chance to discover something new before you bring it home. It’s casual, welcoming, and a great way to taste through different regions, grapes, and styles with guidance from people who know and love the wines.

Whether you know exactly what you like or have no idea where to start, we’re here to help. Our team knows the bottles on our shelves and loves matching people with wines that fit the moment, the meal, and the budget. No snobbery, no pressure. Just thoughtful guidance and a good bottle to take home.

The Winestone Difference

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.

"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."

"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 Winstone for both special occasions and everyday favourites.."

May 30: Label Art: What's on the Bottle Matters

You can’t always judge a wine by its label, but sometimes the outside of the bottle gives you a pretty good clue about what’s inside. This week’s tasting is all about label art, not just as decoration, but as part of the wine’s story.

These four bottles show how much a label can say. Big Salt gives you the coastal, breezy feel of the wine before the first sip. Love You Bunches turns carbonic maceration into a playful pun. Threadcount uses its quilted design to suggest texture and ease. And Canard’s Resurgence tells a much deeper story of loss, recovery, and giving back after the Glass Fire.

The wines are just as varied as the labels: a fresh, aromatic white, a crisp rosé, a juicy carbonic red, and a full-bodied Cabernet with a powerful backstory. Come taste how the outside of the bottle can help tell the story of what’s inside.

2025 Big Salt White: $20

A dry, aromatic Oregon white with a label as bold and breezy as the wine itself. Fresh and saline, with lemon, grapefruit, ginger, aloe, white flowers, and a lightly textured finish from brief skin contact. Great with oysters, shrimp, sushi, Thai food, goat cheese, or salty snacks.

A full-bodied Paso Robles Cabernet with a powerful label story, created after the Glass Fire destroyed Canard’s Napa estate crop. Dark and structured, with black cherry, plum, cassis, cocoa, earth, and savory spice. Pair it with steak, lamb, short ribs, burgers, or roasted mushrooms.

A crisp California rosé of Pinot Noir with a quilted label that hints at its coastal patchwork of vineyards. Bright and refreshing, with strawberry, raspberry, red cherry, and a little citrus lift. Pair it with shrimp cocktail, grilled salmon, chicken salad, soft cheeses, or fresh tomatoes.

2025 Threadcount Quilt Rosé: $18

2023 Stolpman Vineyards Love You Bunches: $27

A juicy, playful Sangiovese from Santa Barbara, made with carbonic fermentation and a label that turns whole grape bunches into a wink. Lively and crunchy, with red cherry, raspberry, cranberry, and savory spice. Serve slightly chilled with pizza, burgers, roast chicken, charcuterie, or tomato-based pasta.

2021 Canard Vineyard Resurgence: $42
