REVIEWS OF Ball Square Fine Wines IN Massachusetts

Kevin Chen

The staff there are very knowledgeable about their stock. They're very willing to refer you to another staff member if they lack knowledge in an area. Been there twice so far, staff recommendations haven't steered me wrong.

Liz H

The staff here are great, super friendly and really knowledgeable. Nate is my go-to for bourbon advice - he remembers what we like and makes recommendations accordingly. They run weekly Friday wine tastings and regular ‘grand tastings’ with different themes - the Bubbly tasting in December is my fave. While it’s a fairly small store, they have a good selection and prices and very reasonable.

Pywaket Pilot

Selection is not huge (it's a small place and they don't have the space to carry everything) but if there's anything you want, they can usually get it. Very helpful. I'd give 5 stars for service. Also, they do tastings frequently, and are very good at helping you decide what you want to get.

Daniel Tinney

Surprisingly well-stocked with a wide selection of options in all varieties. Very nice atmosphere and attentive, helpful staff there if you need them. Always have some sales and/or promotion of sorts, so it makes for a nice stop conveniently in Ball Square.

Ari Glantz

Best all-around purveyor of quality, period.

Max Newman

Friendly, knowledgeable staff with great selection of beer, wine, and cheese. If you want something they don't have, they will help you get it.

Good selection, knowledgable staff

Aidan K

Nice neighborhood shop with great tastings and specialty items.

Sunshine Jenna

Great store with a wonderful selection. Best of all: the STAFF! They will take the time to help you find exactly what you're looking for without rushing you & they're very VERY knowledgeable so they'll give you all kinds of info pertaining to the beer or wine you're looking for; or help you decide what to get if you're unsure. It's pretty rare these days to find such good customer service so it deserves to be applauded. They have tastings here on a regular basis, and they also have a great selection of cheeses, snacks, and beer or wine related gifts. I highly recommend this store!! As I always mention in my reviews when relevant, going here supports a small, local, independently owned business.

Stephanie Hallinan

The employees here are always extremely helpful. They have a good variety of wine and craft beer as well as a section dedicated to bread and cheese. They also have wine tastings which allows customers to try new things in a costly manner.

Daniel Tinney

Surprisingly well-stocked with a wide selection of options in all varieties. Very nice atmosphere and attentive, helpful staff there if you need them. Always have some sales and/or promotion of sorts, so it makes for a nice stop conveniently in Ball Square.

Karen Wickert

Awesome wine selection - I always check out their extensive Bin Ends selection of reasonably priced and marked-down wines in the crates near the front of the shop as you walk in. They have a lot of tasting notes and hints to help you choose a wine while browsing which I massively appreciate. They have a great selection of craft beer, cider, and other beverages as well. Staff are friendly and helpful too! They also carry a selection of gourmet foods to go with your wines, such as locally-made jams and so forth. Free tastings often, though I've never managed to align schedules to be there for one. Definitely love going here!

Regina Chiuminatto

This is the greatest wine shop and place Boston, the northeast US, and perhaps the world.

Hank Yoon

Great selections.

Carlos Smith

Great selection of Rum, helpful staff.

Leon Morales-Quezada

Great an knowledgeable service.

Alana Lynch

I've gone out of my way to go here - their beer selection is pretty great but it's their wine selection (duh) that stands out. The staff are really friendly and helpful if you're looking for something, and they have tastings periodically that always give me something new and interesting to try.

Kelly MacKenzie

Great staff, great specialty liquors

Kristen Silva

Ashwini Patil

They have all major liquor brands.Staff over there is very helpful if you need suggestions choosing any particular type of drink.

Liz R.

They're right in Ball Square next to the bakery and across from the salon with the huge fancy light in the window. You can't miss it! I know nothing about champagne but needed to pick up something to bring to my bestie's bachelorette. I gave them my budget range and they helped me find something just right. My girlfriends loved it so much I wish I bought four bottles lol Go here if you want relaxed honest people that don't make you feel dumb for not knowing a thing about champagne!

Chris Saccardi

There are a lot of reasons to love this place. My favorite is the extensive selection of scotch, bourbon, and rye. They also have great wine and beer and a staff that is always available for a spot-on recommendation. Not to mention the fantastic weekly tastings, the excellent cheeses and the tubs of luxardo cherries they sell!

Siri Benn

Best liquor selection (for anything) this side of the Charles. Cheapest prices I've seen anywhere, and wine/beer tastings every Friday!

Craig Swanson

Favorite liquor store

Max Bulger

I'm smitten with this store. I have to avoid it if I'm going to ever stop adding to my home bar, because they have some of the best selection of an liquor store in the Boston area, hands down. They are deep in every area, every spirit, every beer, every liqueur, all there for the perusing. It shines best for being THE place to buy Old Overholt and agave spirits as well as rum (hello, Plantation and Privateer!) in additition to ALL THE FORITIFIED WINES and amaro, MY GOD. I'm in love.

Serge Chirkov

Thank you for the beer review.

Kim Lapan

Great selection. Go to a grand tasting here, you’ll find new favorites.

James Hanlon

Great local wine & liquor store, staff is always friendly and willing to answer questions. Prices are reasonable and comparable to most other stores in the area. Also a pretty good selection of cheeses and treats :)

Frederic Yarm

Their build your own 6 pack program is great for exploring!

MIKEY B

They have a wide selection and should usually have whatever you're looking for. They do lack natural and organic wines.

Steven Sklivas

The staff are really knowledgeable and friendly. They offer a surprisingly wide selection that is well curated.

Matthew David

Great selection of wines, whiskeys, and beers knowledgeable and friendly staff, probably come in too often because they are often running various tastings.

Blake Geno

Best selection around; extremely helpful staff; good prices for the area.

Barry Matteson

Great Service

Jameson Viens

Great provision store store with a wide variety of beer wine spirits and food.

Michael Browne

They know what they are talking about when it comes to wine, spirits, and cheeses. Ask their opinion anytime, they will never steer you wrong.

Masoud Arshadi

good selection of wine, beer, cheese and cured meet. what else do you want in your life?

Jared Roth

Really poor customer service because of age discrimination. They thought I was underaged. I asked them to suggest a white wine for my upcoming date night. No response. I asked a second time and the guy had the audacity to say “should you even be here?”. I’m 26 years old. I may be a millennial but damn whatever happened to don’t judge a book by its cover?

Elizabeth Godlewski

Great service and selection!

Vladimir Barash

Best liquor store in the Davis square area. I can't speak to all of Boston, but I absolutely love this place. Free wine and cheese tastings, grand tastings, good cheap wine, excellent staff who know their stuff, they've got it all.

Billy Lazzaro

John Dirienzo

Wine was good quality and value. The tasting was very informative. The cheese is divine. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable.

Great selection and fantastic, friendly employees. My go to for cider selection, every time.

Amazing selection. Love the tastings also!

Jacob Zantopp

Awesome selection of craft beer, wine from all over the world, spirits, and gourmet food. One of the best in Boston for all of the above with an awesome staff. Quick walk from Davis Square. A must visit.

Ryan Pitts

Great beer selection. Must be a hidden gem considering how many hard to find beers were still on the shelves

William Vezinaw

Upscale wine and alcohol shop that is part of a recent effort to class up north Somerville. Great selection and the prices match the products so if you're coming in with a discount mind set stick to the discount bin in the front.

James Bowers

Good selection of wine and liquor. Very good selection of chilled micro-brews. Staff is always courteous and helpful.

Jon Leonard

Great selection of wine and craft beer. Knowledgeable staff.

Wesley Tate

Brenden Bourdeau

Surprisingly good beer selection; I always manage to find more beers that pique my interest than I'm willing to buy.

J Ingraham

The staff is knowledgeable and friendly. The selection is great. There is always an option no matter what my budget. I love the cheeses, chocolates and artisan foods. This is one of my favorite stores for both alcohol and gourmet treats. Update- The people who work here have taught me a great deal about wine, beer and liquor. I continue to find new delights with their help. The regular and "Grand" tastings are another wonderful chance to learn and expand my taste palette. This place is a true gem.

Peaches

They host a wonderful selection of wines and high spirits. The staff and the events that they host makes me wish I lived closer. It is always a treat when I get to attend their tasting events, but my wallet does not enjoy it as I tend to leave with something in was not really expecting to.

Rebecca Stewart

Sarah Lawton

I don't think I need to say more than free wine, beer, and cheese tasting every Friday. But just in case that doesn't convince you, but they have lovely and knowledgeable staff, who are willing to help you find anything you want (and they have a good variety of beer and wine, but they will order it for you if it isn't there).

William Tucker

One of the best beer selections in the area and the staff is very helpful

Michael Abrahams

Ron Zacapa Centenario 23 year plus Aberlour 12 Double Cask for $83 after tax. Try to beat that in Massachusetts. They'll put a sampler pack together for your party or event. The staff is super nice and offered to source any liquor I asked for. Where has this place been all my life?

Great selection of hyperlocal craft beer

Michelle Deady

So many options!!!

mike tissenbaum

Simply one of the best places to get beer in the aera

Elizabeth Godlewski

Great service and selection!

Shauna Thompson

Great selection of imported beer, and some solid gins. One of the people working there did seriously tell me the Game of Thrones beers were pedestrian, which I found a little haughty.

Nicholas Alunni

Fantastic staff with a great selection. They are always happy to give honest recommendations or even order something if they don't typically stock it. The wine and spirit tastings are super fun and great for a night out.

Brian Goodell

Best selection around with a very knowledgeable and friendly staff.

B R

This Wine shop has beer and wine tasting nights. They carry many cheese's that go well with the wines they have. The location is stylish and close to Davis and a 89 bus stop. Staff is wicked helpful. One woman took the time to look up a beer for me with only " it has a plastic goat on a red string." And found it. If you want it they will get it for you.

Vladimir Barash

Best liquor store in the Davis square area. I can't speak to all of Boston, but I absolutely love this place. Free wine and cheese tastings, grand tastings, good cheap wine, excellent staff who know their stuff, they've got it all.

Incredible selection of wines, beers, and imported treats (including cheeses and meats). My favorite store in Ball Square with staff who are always friendly.

rob vassegh

For a small store, there is an amazing selection of wine, beer, and spirits. There is even a cold case with cheese and cured meats. The tastings are worthwhile every Friday (and sometimes other days). Don't expect to find a lot of bargains after you walk past the bins in the front corner.

Nicholas Stamoulos

Great selection of wine and beer, great prices, gourmet cheeses abs knowledgeable staff

Dig around for hidden gems

Brian Wang

I was surprised to find the following gems in the reserve wine section: 1990 La Forts De Latour, 1990 Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande, 2000 Carraudes de Lafite, DRC RSV and La Tache. I bought the Pichon and Latour caveat emptor; luckily they weren't corked, instead they were in their prime.

Steven Martinez

Super friendly and helpful staff, great selection, good prices and many free tastings. Everything I want in my go to package store.

Henry Hannon

Great selection, very well curated. Staff super friendly. Possibly my favorite liquor/beer store anywhere.

Don Carnevale

Very good service, order come quickly, good stock

Ross Whiteford

Small store with the vibe of a second-hand bookshop selling a huge variety of beer, wine and liquor, including rare Craft Beers and cheap High Life. Cheese is a thing here, too. There's a shelf with British confectionery by the checkout; waiting to take advantage of the weak-willed.

Eric Brenner

Great selection and a very helpful staff

The best alcohol and fancy small food place around
