"Incredible local wine shop! Patrick and his team of experts are always on hand to suggest pairings with food and share their enthusiasm and knowledge of wine. Prices are super reasonable so there is inherent value in a tightly curated selection compared to the big stores. Highly recommend."

★★★★★

"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

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.

October 17, 2026: MythBusters: Four Wines, Four Myths...Busted

Remember MythBusters? The popular TV show took conventional wisdom, put it to the test and occasionally blew things up in the process. This Saturday, Winestone is doing a little myth-busting of our own, although we'll leave the explosives at home!

Must California Chardonnay be oaky and buttery? Is Pinot Grigio really boring? Does good Burgundy have to cost a fortune? And didn't Malbec come from Argentina?

We've selected four wines that challenge these widely held beliefs. Some surprises come from the vineyard, others from the winemaking, and one from a little wine history.

We'll pour the wines, share their stories and let you decide.

After all, the best way to bust a wine myth is to taste the evidence!

2025 Foxglove Chardonnay| $21

MYTH #1: California Chardonnay Is Oaky and Buttery!

Not this one! Made without oak or malolactic fermentation, this Central Coast Chardonnay is bursting with tropical fruit, bright acidity and refreshing flavor. Lees stirring adds texture without the butter.

MYTH #2: Pinot Grigio Is Boring!

Think again! From Italy's Friuli region, this elegant Pinot Grigio offers crisp apple, ripe pear and citrus freshness. A touch of barrel fermentation and lees aging adds surprising richness and complexity.

2025 Attems Pinot Grigio| $23

2024 Thevenet & Fils “Les Clos” Rouge | $25

MYTH #3: Burgundy Is Always Expensive!

Great red Burgundy for $25? Absolutely! From the Mâconnais in southern Burgundy, this Pinot Noir delivers ripe berries, a hint of earthy character and lovely freshness.

2020 Famille Vigouroux “Les Ailes de Mercuès” | $21

MYTH #4: Malbec Comes from Argentina!

Actually, Malbec's roots are in France! This Cahors red combines ripe fruit, peppery spice and velvety tannins in a delicious blend of 85% Malbec and 15% Merlot.
