"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!"

"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.

August 22: Greek Wines, Rooted in Place

This week we are heading to Greece, a country with a long winemaking history and an extraordinary collection of native grapes. Rather than the familiar international varieties, these wines give us a chance to taste grapes that have been grown in Greece for generations and are closely connected to the places they come from.

We will travel from Attica to Santorini, Crete and the Peloponnese, tasting Savatiano, Assyrtiko, Vidiano and Limniona along the way. The styles could not be more different, from crisp, mineral whites to a skin-contact orange wine and a fresh, elegant red, but together they offer a great look at the diversity of modern Greek wine.

2025 Papagiannakos Savatiano Old Vines: $23

An old-vine Savatiano from dry-farmed vineyards in Attica near Athens. Dry and bright, with citrus fruit, refreshing acidity and a clean finish. Pair with grilled fish, seafood, sushi, fresh salads or roast chicken.

A Santorini blend of 90% Assyrtiko with small amounts of Athiri and Aidani. Crisp and lightly textured, with bright citrus, green apple, peach and the salty mineral character typical of the island. Pair with oysters, grilled fish, Greek salad or lemony seafood dishes.

2023 Estate Argyros Atlantis White: $27

2023 Alexakis Vidiano Orange: $20

A dry skin-contact wine made from 100% Vidiano, a native Cretan grape. One month on the skins gives it a golden color, round texture and light tannins, with pear, citrus and savory herbal notes. Pair with roasted vegetables, richer fish, roast chicken, pork or aged cheeses.

2024 Monemvasia Winery Jackal Limniona: $25

A fresh, elegant red made from 100% Limniona, an indigenous Greek grape that has adapted beautifully to the hot, dry climate of Lakonia. Red cherry and raspberry lead the way, with subtle herbal notes and soft, velvety tannins. Pair with lamb, roasted meats, eggplant with feta, tomato-based pasta or aged cheese
