This Winery is included in the category of Liquor store.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Best all-around purveyor of quality, period.
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.
they sold us beer that was 3 years out of date!
Went in for grad gift, manager or owner was very friendly and quick to recommend great bottle of wine.
Best selection of cool/weird/local/imported stuff around!
Fantastic selection, and great value! This has been our neighborhood shop for a long time, and it has always been good. Wine club discount on beers and wines of the month, weekly tastings and special events.
Friendly, and good stuff. Also, a nice cheese and real food snack collection.

My favorite beer, wine and spirits store in Somerville. Knowledgeable and friendly staff, great selection and regular fun and informative tasting events.
Reasonable prices and great selection. The staff there were very helpful and knowledgable.
Went for a wine and beer tasting on Friday evening and had a great time (and it was all free!). The owner is extremely nice and all the employees are willing to help you pick out the perfect wine or beer.
Outstanding selection, imported and local, every kind of alcohol plus cheeses and olives and marcona almonds and cigars... Everything you need for a cocktail party.
Best local liquor and wine store!
Best curation of beer, wine, and liquor in the city. The staff are super friendly and eager to help.

Great selection of beers, wines, and liquors in a well-lit space with warm, friendly employees!
The best beer, wine and liquor selection in Somerville
Friendly staff and a good selection, staff are knowledgeable and helpful.
Good selections.
What could be said more about this jewel of a store ? They have premium wines, beer and liquors. They find almost anything I need. Chris is real gentlemen and its crew is professional and courteous. Nate and Dan are literally amazing. I feel home when I go there. Should I say anything else ? Go visit them and you'll understand.
Great spot! Wonderful cheese counter !
Nice shop with a large selection and fequent tasting events.
Awesome choice selection of craft beer, staff eager to please, just talk to them they really listen!
Awesome selection!
Love the staff here. They're so knowledgeable and friendly. Perfect for that special occasion wine purchase or six pack for the weekend. They also keep track of wines you've purchased--sign up for that. Super helpful.
Great beer selection
The staff is so helpful and knowledgeable. Tastings and events can get crowded.
Best of Somerville.
Not cheap, but great selection of wine, beers, liquor and food.
Good selection, knowledgable staff
Nice neighborhood shop with great tastings and specialty items.
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.
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.
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.
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!
This is the greatest wine shop and place Boston, the northeast US, and perhaps the world.
Great selections.
Great selection of Rum, helpful staff.
Great an knowledgeable service.
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.
Great staff, great specialty liquors
Great craft beer selection, staff are really knowledgeable.
Excellent selection of wine, beer, cider, and liquors. They also have a variety of quality meat and cheeses. My office orders from them regularly and their staff are very helpful.
Great little wine store, very helpful staff. Also sells beer, liquor, preserved meats and cheeses.
Great beer selection. Awesome $10 wine
Awesome liquor store, great, interesting beer selection. You'll find craft beers you rarely see other places. The wine selection and the discount wine is great. They have tasting, cheese and are generally just amazing.
They have all major liquor brands.Staff over there is very helpful if you need suggestions choosing any particular type of drink.
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!
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!
Best liquor selection (for anything) this side of the Charles. Cheapest prices I've seen anywhere, and wine/beer tastings every Friday!
Favorite liquor store
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.
Thank you for the beer review.
Great selection. Go to a grand tasting here, you’ll find new favorites.
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 :)
Their build your own 6 pack program is great for exploring!
They have a wide selection and should usually have whatever you're looking for. They do lack natural and organic wines.
The staff are really knowledgeable and friendly. They offer a surprisingly wide selection that is well curated.
Great selection of wines, whiskeys, and beers knowledgeable and friendly staff, probably come in too often because they are often running various tastings.
Best selection around; extremely helpful staff; good prices for the area.
Great Service
Great provision store store with a wide variety of beer wine spirits and food.
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.
good selection of wine, beer, cheese and cured meet. what else do you want in your life?
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?
Great service and selection!
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.
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!
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.
Great beer selection. Must be a hidden gem considering how many hard to find beers were still on the shelves
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.
Good selection of wine and liquor. Very good selection of chilled micro-brews. Staff is always courteous and helpful.
Great selection of wine and craft beer. Knowledgeable staff.
Surprisingly good beer selection; I always manage to find more beers that pique my interest than I'm willing to buy.
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.
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.
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).
One of the best beer selections in the area and the staff is very helpful
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
So many options!!!
Great selection and helpful staff. Competitive prices
Great selection of wines and cheese!
Great selection and competitive liquor and wine prices.
Great selection of hard to find beers. Mix and match!
Neighborhood treasure and retail destination for customers near and far.
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?
Simply one of the best places to get beer in the aera
Great service and selection!
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.
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.
Best selection around with a very knowledgeable and friendly staff.
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.
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.
Great beer and wine selection. Very helpful staff.
Incredible selection of wines, beers, and imported treats (including cheeses and meats). My favorite store in Ball Square with staff who are always friendly.
Terrific mix of knowledge, experience and service, all crammed into a tiny space.
Incredible selection of wines, beers, and imported treats (including cheeses and meats). My favorite store in Ball Square with staff who are always friendly.
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.
Great selection of wine and beer, great prices, gourmet cheeses abs knowledgeable staff
Hands down my favorite in all of Boston. Huge selection and super friendly, highly knowledgeable staff. Join the free wine club and get discounts on their monthly wine picks!
Owner clearly cares and seems nice. Employees are helpful.
Their wine club is amazing, staff is wonderful, nothing but positive things to say about this place.
Awesome wine store: weekly tastings of wine and spirits, knowledgeable staff, great cheese and cured meats
Dig around for hidden gems
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.
Super friendly and helpful staff, great selection, good prices and many free tastings. Everything I want in my go to package store.
Very good selection of beer and wine & friendly staff. Prices are fair by city standards. They do a lot of tasting nights which is pretty cool.
Decent prices, great selection, appealing displays
Best liquor store in Somerville
Very nice liquor store in Ball Sq, with tons of wine, a pretty excellent beer selection that isn't too snobby, and some functional liquors (Old Overholt for < $14 a bottle!)
Wide selection of great wine, beer, spirits, and cheese. Good advice on pairings, and special orders are possible.
Good selection of good stuff. I always find a good wine there.
Hands down the best liquor store in the area! The staff are both friendly and knowledgeable, great selection and prices, they also frequently host wine and spirit tastings.
Friday's and Saturdays for free tastings
great beer and wine selection. Helpful staff.
As a cider drinker I can say they have a very nice selection of things I've never seen elsewhere, plus many of the standards. They've also got a wide variety of liquors and even a refrigerated cheese/meat/spread section.
Great selection, very well curated. Staff super friendly. Possibly my favorite liquor/beer store anywhere.
Very good service, order come quickly, good stock
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.
Great selection and a very helpful staff
The best alcohol and fancy small food place around
The holy grail of wine and beer. I got a Unibroue sampler here for 10 dollars--how possible?!
Surprisingly good selection for a small store and helpful staff.
An array of wine, liquor, and beer with amazing staff to help you in making all of your drinking decisions. Not to mention the tasting events and the wine club!
Los precios tal cual como está en su web y sus descuentos¡!
Ideal liquor store and niche specialty foods provider.
Chill atmosphere and a good balance of practical and gourmet stock. Staff has been consistently knowledgeable and able to make suggestions.
Always great choices and great cheeses!
