"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 10, 2026: Come Over October: Wines That Conect Us

Come Over October was created by wine journalist Karen MacNeil along with Gino Colangelo and Kimberly Noelle Charles with a wonderfully simple idea: invite someone over, open a bottle of wine and spend some time together.

At a moment when so much of life happens through screens, the campaign is about reconnecting in person. Good conversation, food, laughter, stories and a bottle on the table. Wine doesn’t have to be rare or expensive to be special. Sometimes the occasion is simply getting people you like around the same table.

So this week we’re pouring four wines made for sharing: an unexpected California Aligoté, a fresh chillable red created by two friends, a Southern Rhône from one of France’s great wine families, and a generous Primitivo from Puglia.

Different grapes, different places and different stories, but all four have something in common: they’re wines to open, pour and share with people you like.

2025 Field Recordings “Significant Other” Aligoté| $25

A bright, refreshing take on Burgundy’s “other” white grape, grown on California’s cool SLO Coast. Fog and ocean influence help preserve Aligoté’s lively acidity, while nine months in neutral French oak adds texture without noticeable oak flavor. Look for white flowers, lemon, lime, white peach and Bosc pear, with a subtle creamy finish.

Born from the friendship of winemakers Bobby Huff and Somerville native Jaam Moynihan, this playful blend of 85% Pinot Noir and 15% Valdiguié is their California take on Burgundy’s Passe-Tout-Grains. Carbonic fermentation keeps it light, fragrant and juicy, with cranberry, raspberry, tart blackberry and a little spice. Just 12.1% alcohol and especially good slightly chilled.

2025 Joseph-Jibril “Carbonic” Red Wine | $28

2023 Famille Perrin Les Cornuds Vinsobres | $21

From the family behind Château de Beaucastel, this 50/50 Grenache-Syrah blend comes from higher-elevation vineyards in Vinsobres, where cooler temperatures bring unusual freshness to the Southern Rhône. Expect dark cherry, blackberry, violet, savory herbs and spice, with plenty of richness but a lively finish.

2022 Menhir Salento “Quota 31” Primitivo | $21

Named for the prehistoric standing stones scattered across southern Puglia, Menhir Salento makes this organically grown Primitivo in a warm, generous style. Ripe cherry and black cherry meet a savory hint of licorice, with enough freshness to keep this full-bodied red from feeling heavy.
