Brookline's Favorite Neighborhood Wine Shop

"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!"

Jen Beachell

"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.

September 26: Frasca La Guaragna: Giving Barbera Its Due

Frasca La Guaragna is a young Piedmont winery with a mission: to show just how good Barbera can be. Founded in 2018 by Italian-American entrepreneur and former record producer Curt Frasca with Asti-born winemaker Matteo Gerbi, Frasca focuses on traditional Piedmont grapes, careful vineyard work and winemaking that favors freshness over heavy extraction and excessive oak.

Come taste all four side by side and see what Frasca is doing with the traditional grapes of Piedmont.

2024 Frasca “Sèj” Monferrato Bianco DOC | $22

“Sèj” means “thirst” in the local dialect. Peach, white flowers and texture from Arneis meet the bright acidity and mineral edge of Riesling. Fermented and aged in stainless steel, with three months of bâtonnage, or stirring of the lees, to add texture and complexity.

Frasca vinifies fruit from approximately 15 vineyard plots separately before blending the lots together. Aged in steel rather than oak, this is Barbera in a fresh, classic style: rich red fruit, lively acidity and gentle tannins.

2022 Frasca Barbera d’Asti

DOCG | $22

Frasca Freisa d’Asti DOC | $23

Freisa offers a different taste of Piedmont, with red berries, floral notes, spice and more tannic structure than Barbera. Thirty percent whole-bunch fermentation and aging in large, seasoned oak casks add complexity without overwhelming the fruit.

2023 Frasca Nizza DOCG | $32

Nizza represents a more structured and age-worthy expression of Barbera. Frasca uses older vines and ages the wine for six months in large oak barrels, resulting in more depth and structure while keeping Barbera’s fruit and acidity at the center. Frasca calls Nizza its “highest expression of Barbera.”
