Chestnut Hill'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 19: Old World, New World: Bordeaux Meets Washington

This week we’re putting Bordeaux and Washington side by side. The two regions sit at surprisingly similar northern latitudes, but climate, soils and winemaking choices can lead to very different results in the glass. Washington producers have long worked with classic Bordeaux grapes, and some deliberately take a restrained, Old World-inspired approach.

We’ll taste two white blends built around Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon, followed by two Cabernet-led reds, to see where the similarities end and each region’s character begins.

Come taste them side by side and judge for yourself.

2023 Lydian SB|S : $23

An 80% Sauvignon Blanc, 20% Sémillon blend inspired by white Bordeaux and made by the team behind Avennia. Aged in stainless steel and neutral French oak, it shows yellow grapefruit, citrus peel and ripe pineapple, with bright acidity and a little added richness from the Sémillon.

From selected parcels of historic Château Latour-Martillac, this 50/50 Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon blend is barrel-fermented and aged seven months on the lees. Pear and lemon lead the way, with fresh acidity and a rounder, fuller texture.

2022 Lacroix-Martillac Blanc: $30

2022 Pomum Estate Red Wine: $30

A Cabernet-led Bordeaux blend from Pomum’s organically certified Konnowac Estate Vineyard. Cabernet Sauvignon is joined by Petit Verdot, Cabernet Franc and Malbec, with 20 months in French oak. Look for blackberry, dark cherry, cedar, lavender and structured tannins.

2022 D de Dauzac Bordeaux Supérieur: $23

Made by the team at Château Dauzac, this 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot blend comes from vineyards outside Margaux. Fresh red and black fruit, smooth tannins and a round, approachable finish make it an easy introduction to classic Bordeaux style.
