Saturday Wine Tastings

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.."

July 25: Road Trip Through Northern Spain

For wine lovers, there is something especially meaningful about tasting a wine where it is made. Seeing the vineyards, walking through the cellars and meeting the people behind the bottles deepens your understanding of both the wine and the place it comes from. On our recent trip to Spain, we had the opportunity to do all three.

This Saturday, we are bringing home some of our favorite discoveries from the journey, or at least the ones that export to the US. We will travel from the coastal vineyards of Getaria to the historic cellars of Rioja, with a stop in Galicia for one of my favorite white wines of Spain. Along the way, we will share stories from the wineries, the winemakers we met and the remarkable places we visited.

Join us for five wines that capture the freshness, history and diversity of Northern Spain, including lightly spritzy Txakolina, elegant rosado, mineral Godello and two beautifully aged Riojas.

2025 Ameztoi Getariako Txakolina Blanco: $27

Light, crisp and gently spritzy, this traditional Basque white offers bright citrus, mouthwatering acidity and distinctive salty, briny notes. Made from 100% Hondarrabi Zuri grown above the Bay of Biscay, it is a joyful match for seafood, olives and pintxos.

Made from old-vine Tempranillo grown in Rioja Alavesa, this classic Reserva combines blackberry, cherry and licorice with subtle spice and polished tannins. About two years in primarily American oak add complexity without overshadowing the ripe fruit. Excellent with burgers, steak, grilled vegetables and aged cheeses.

This pale, elegant Rioja rosado offers notes of peach skin, stone fruit, citrus and flowers. Sixteen weeks on the fine lees add subtle texture, while bright acidity keeps it crisp and refreshing. Delicious with shellfish, salads, light pasta and paella.

2025 Muga Rosado: $20

2024 Rafael Palacios Louro do Bolo: $32

One of our favorite Spanish whites, this high-elevation Godello combines notes of lemon, peach and quince with bright acidity and a lightly creamy texture. Fermentation in large French oak foudres and four months on the lees add depth without overwhelming its fresh, subtly salty character.

2017 Viña Cubillo Crianza: $40

2021 Marques De Riscal Rioja Reserva: $25

López de Heredia ages this classic Rioja for more than three years in well-used American oak, followed by extensive bottle aging. Yet the fruit still shines, with fresh red fruit, licorice, delicate floral notes and fine tannins. A beautifully mature and versatile red for tapas, charcuterie or roast meats.
