"I've been a dedicated (and delighted) follower of Patrick and his team since Winestone opened. He always has a great selection and often suggests something I would not have come across on my own that becomes a staple in our repertoire. Winestone is a neighborhood gem with global reach. Patrick and his team are knowledgeable, but have an approachable perspective that keeps me coming back for more. Better than any big box shop!"

"We have been buying most of our wines from Winestone, often choosing wines with his advice. We have never been disappointed. By chance, I ordered a case from winestone today. Patrick is quite friendly and is very knowledgeable about the wines of many countries and many producers."

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.

October 31, 2026: 🎃 No Tricks, Just Treats
Halloween is all about tricks and treats. This week at Winestone, we’re skipping the tricks and going straight for the good stuff.
For the grown-ups, we’re pouring four wines that are treats in their own right. We start with two white wines: a bright, coastal Albariño and a mineral-driven Vouvray. Then we move to a seriously tasty $16 Cabernet and a rich Valpolicella Ripasso that feels just right with a little nip in the air.
And we haven’t forgotten the younger set. Bring the kids along and we’ll have candy waiting for them, too.
Stop by, taste something new, grab a treat, and celebrate Halloween with us. No costume required.
2024 Domaine des Aubuisières Vouvray “Cuvée de Silex” | $27
A mineral-driven Chenin Blanc from clay and flint-rich soils. Look for grapefruit, green apple and peach, with bright acidity, a touch of roundness and a long, flinty finish. Fermentation and aging in stainless steel keep the fruit pure and the wine fresh.
2022 Paolo Cottini Valpolicella Ripasso Classico Superiore | $20
Rich and warming, with dark cherry, plum, spice and a savory edge. Ripasso means “repassed,” referring to the wine’s second fermentation on Amarone grape skins, which adds extra body and complexity. It has some of Amarone’s richness, but in a fresher, more approachable style..
2025 Boal de Arousa Albariño | $25
Bright and coastal, with ripe white fruit, citrus, herbs and a distinctly saline finish. The wine comes from a historic vineyard near the Arousa estuary, where decomposed granite, quartz and clay soils help shape its fresh, mineral character. Seven months on the fine lees adds texture while preserving its energy.
2023 Dante Cabernet Sauvignon | $16
A seriously tasty California Cabernet at a very friendly price. Black cherry, cassis and ripe plum meet spice, roasted coffee and soft oak in a full-flavored, easy-drinking red. Made by the Pozzan family, the fruit is sourced primarily from Lodi and aged 18 months in oak.
