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 11: A Taste of the Loire Valley

This week’s tasting is a tribute to the Loire Valley, one of France’s most diverse and quietly thrilling wine regions. It may not be the first place people name when they think of French wine. Bordeaux, Burgundy and Champagne usually get there first. But for anyone who loves variety, freshness and food-friendly wines, the Loire is essential.

Stretching from central France toward the Atlantic, the Loire offers castles, riverside villages and an incredible range of grapes and styles. This week we’ll taste four classic Loire expressions: Sauvignon Blanc from Coteaux du Giennois, Chenin Blanc from Vouvray, a textured Touraine rosé, and a biodynamic Cheverny red made from Pinot Noir and Gamay. Save the airfare and come explore the Loire with us, one glass at a time.

2023 Berthier Coteaux du Giennois: $25

A softer Loire Sauvignon Blanc from just north of Sancerre, grown on flint, limestone and clay soils. Organically farmed and aged on fine lees, this is citrusy and gently mineral, but rounder and less razor-sharp than classic Sancerre.

A certified organic and biodynamic Loire red from a family domaine dating to 1846. This Pinot Noir and Gamay blend is fresh, lifted and easy to drink, with cherry, redcurrant, raspberry and a savory mineral edge. Serve slightly chilled.

A classic dry Vouvray from one of the Loire’s historic names. Made from Chenin Blanc and aged nine months on lees, it shows pear, peach, pineapple and citrus, with a rounded, textured palate and a clean lemony finish.

2025 Marc Brédif Vouvray Classic: $25

2025 Luc Poullain Touraine Rosé: $20

A textured Loire rosé made from equal parts Grolleau, Pineau d’Aunis, Gamay, Côt and Cabernet Franc. Picked in stages for balance and freshness, it offers crushed strawberry, raspberry, citrus and gentle grip. More character than a simple summer rosé.

2022 Gendrier Domaine des Huards Envol: $29
