"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 3, 2026: Masari: Volcanic Wines from Veneto

Masari is a certified-organic winery in Veneto’s Valle d’Agno, founded in 1998 by Massimo Dal Lago and Arianna Tessari. Their vineyards sit in the foothills of the Little Dolomites, where altitude, cool mountain breezes and volcanic soils help preserve freshness and acidity.

This Saturday, Winestone’s own Dave Gansler pours four Masari wines, from sparkling Durella and Riesling to Pinot Nero a Cabernet-Merlot blend and finishing with a Passito.

Masari “Leon” Metodo Classico Dosaggio Zero | $25

Made entirely from Durella, Leon spends about 42 months aging on the lees after its second fermentation in bottle. Bright, dry and lively, with citrus, floral notes, fine bubbles and a long, mineral finish.

A blend of 75% Riesling and 25% Durella, fermented and aged to preserve freshness and aromatic character. Citrus, orchard fruit and white flowers meet bright acidity and a savory finish.

2023 Masari Agnobianco | $16

2022 Masari Costa Nera Pinot Nero | $20

Pinot Nero grown on the volcanic slopes of the Valle d’Agno, fermented in wooden vats and aged in small oak barrels. Red and dark berries, violet and spice lead to a juicy, elegant palate with plenty of freshness.

2021 Masari San Martino | $18

Made from 70% Riesling and 30% Durella, with grapes air-dried to concentrate flavor and sweetness. Rich with dried apricot, fig and candied fruit, balanced by bright acidity. Perfect with blue cheese or dessert.

2017 Masari Doro Bianco Passito | $29

Equal parts Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, aged for 24 months in oak followed by additional bottle aging. Plum, red fruit, herbs and spice come together in a structured but lively red with persistent tannins.
