Reviews of The Wine & Cheese Cask (Winery)

Casey Roehrig

It's a small space, but they fit a lot in. The staff is very knowledgeable and willing to help you find what you're looking for, even if you don't know exactly what that is!

Chad Rankin

A fantastic selecgtion of wines, cheeses, and spirits. An Absenthe fan myself, i requested something a bit different and was directed towards Pernod, a wonderful alternative with just as much personality. Thank you, wine and cheese cask!

Joel Dapello

Don't miss the Italian sandwich

Polina Khabibulina

I'll tell you a secret. This is the best liquor store in Cambridge. I've found Woodford Reserve here for the same price as Maker's Mark at other places. Great selection of craft liquors and beers and picks from local distilleries and breweries.

Kristen B

Great selection of wines, liquors, cheese, meats, with a few sweets thrown in for good measure.

Greg Ludlow

A local Wine & Cheese Shop with some good beers and wine.

Cammie Dodds

Went here for lunch during a work meeting. Super good sandwiches! Very filling and the staff was so nice. I got the smoked ham and a coworker got the smoked turkey we both loved them!

Steve Mathieu

Wide variety of beer, wine, liquor, cheese and pickles.

Jessie Banhazl

I love this place! Wonderful selection of libations, cheese, and meats. There are always great economy options (for the day to day), as well as reasonably priced fine wines and beers for gifts and special occasions. I've been shopping here for years, and they are always well stocked. The staff are very knowledgeable and friendly as well. #reviewsday

Good selection

Alessandro V.

Great place for wines, beer, amaro, and cheese. Highly recommended.

Nicholas Martin

Old school wine and cheese store. Excellent pate as well. They sell clear flour bread, which is the best french bread in the Boston area. Very good selection of Brandy, grappa and cordials. Ok selection of whiskey and tequila. Incredible selection of fortified wines and aperitifs. Cheese selection is the best around. Neighborhood gem.

Jorge Gómez Tejeda Zañudo

Someone should explain their cashiers (some of them do know, but the one I had didn't) that they should not alienate a recurring customer over a recently expired ID (plus the temporary ID given when you're waiting for a new one). Will never go here again.

Xqua Xqua

Best place to get great cheese for a decent price. The wines are good but a bit pricey.

Kelsey McGlashan

Always love this place. The staff are really helpful, huge selection of wine and some other drinks. Also decent selection of cheese and meats to go with the wine.

Phani Dharmavarapu

Have a good collection of wine and whiskey and at reasonable prices.

Joey Melnick

Wine and Cheese cask. You are so convenient, I wish you were not overpriced. Things to know (good): Lots of Cheese and friendly employees to suggest them. Wine out the wazzoo (and friendly employees to suggest them). A very good selection of beers to drink Artisan goods. Things to know (bad): Overpriced Prices not listed (this is a double whammy) Although they are friendly the employees can sometimes give you gruff (no hard feelings though, tough job) Smells like stinky cheese.

Allegra Kurtz-Rossi

This is my go-to wine store. Great prices and the staff is extremely knowledgeable. I always ask for recommendations and have yet to be disappointed. The staff actually taste a lot of the wine they carry and seem to be very honest about what they do and don't like.

Stavros Macrakis

Very good wine store. Good selection, reasonable prices. Also a very good selection of cheeses. Unfortunately, no wine tastings.

Sam

Probably the best liquor store in the area (if not, due to it's relatively small size, the most comprehensive). They also stock an excellent selection of cheeses and other fine foodstuffs. Some find the staff overly brusque (though that's never been my impression), but don't be afraid to ask about the product, they're knowledgeable and give excellent advice.

Noora Shehab

Huge selection of drinks and artisan breads and cheese

burlewkm

Great selection, nice bourbon selection as well!

Samantha Scott

Good food, ok service

Francesca Holinko

The best place for great wines, wonderful selection of cheeses and patés, helpful wine advice.

Mirko Ristivojevic

Great wine selection and always someone available to help you choose the right one. Good selection of spirits as well.

Scott Shedeck

Good beer and wine selection, a bit crowded, and the employees there seem to be very depressed.

Daphne Chang

Excellent local wine and cheese shop. Staff are very knowledgeable and helpful.

Byron Drury

Good selection of wine and cheese.

Rob gran

Great selection of wine, beer and cheese. Staff is knowledgeable and eager to help. This place carries quite a few wines that aren't available in other shops. Prices are average.

Arthur Safira

Great local place for wine and cheese, as well as other liquor. This is a great place to stop on the way to a friend's place if you want to share something nice with them.

Mauricio Cordero

Absolutely the best place to go for a deeply knowledgeable staff who actually taste the wines, know the wines and consistent recommend exactly what we are looking to find.

John Hansen

Small store packed with great stuff. As a west-coaster, moving east meant shifting my attention from "local" wines to international wines. The Wine & Cheese Cast has made the transition easy. They must put a great deal of care into which wines they buy and stock, because I've yet to be disappointed with a purchase.

Laurentiu Craciun

Great selection of beer,wine and liquor. Also delicious variety of chesses.

Jonathan Finlay

Awesome beer, wine and cheese selection!

Phillip Anderson

Great wine, great cheese. Not to mention beer, whisky, etc. The staff is very friendly and always helpful when you have questions or trouble picking the right bottle.

Jonathan Che

Ridiculously wide selection (particularly for wine lovers) in a cozy setting. Prices aren’t anything special

Cassandra Gomes-Hochberg

I love this place. Great prices, great staff, varied collection of wine, cheese and beer.

Angela Tuel

Many different choices in beer and wine, also a wide selection of cheese... Prices can vary from cheap to woah!!

Hana Vizcarra

Always extensive choices, well curated wines, great deals, and fantastic cheeses.

Lesley Katzen

My favorite wine shop in Cambridge (and borders Somerville!). Smallish and windy store but very well curated by people who know and love wine, surprisingly large white burgundy selection. Other than wine there is of course some very interesting and delicious local and imported cheese. Also great micro brew and chocolate selection. What more could you want?

Laura Pagluica

Although small, every wine at the Wine & Cheese Cask is hand picked and bound to be good. The staff are knowledgebale and eager to help, and they offer a spectacular cheese selection. They are open late as well, which is always a plus. Great place to pick up some wine and cheese for a party, or just to have on hand!

Andrew Schneider

Friendly and knowledgeable staff, great selection and some unique stuff. Highly recommend!

Will Vahle

Great prices, nice people GREAT SELECTION

Roman Lilligren

Great local liquor store, knowledgeable and friendly staff. They have many local brews as well as a good selection of wines considering the size of the store.

amber whizin

Best cheese, best sandwiches, best people, all the good wine beer and liquor. Go there

Andrew Swenson

Good selection and prices. They seem to know their wines

Henk Schoemaker

Great selection of cheeses and wine!

andrea yakovakis

Well curated selection of wine along with beer and hard liquor for those inclined. Also an excellent assortment of cheeses along with knowledgeable staff to help you pair with wine. Also sells locally made bread and gourmet selections of jarred items to complete that cheese plate.

Kemal Tezer Dilsiz

Amazing selection of cheese, wine and other types of various food. However, the lady at the counter was very rude and unfriendly. Maybe it was just a bad day for her, I hope to update my review later if I see that it was an unusual situation :) I felt that she talked to me in a degrading way and helped me in a very inconsiderate way. I hope others will not experience what I have!

annette jacobs

Great wine selection; great advice.

Mariel Gilbert

Mixed review. The wine here is good and the staff in the back is knowledgeable. My qualm: the cashiers are very aggro about ID's! I am 31. I know I look young, and I often get carded, so that part is not the issue. The problem is that the cashiers are unpleasant -- they use a very rude tone when asking for ID -- almost as if they are mad that you're patroning their store. This is just a negative customer experience and I dread checking out here.

Brian Dubois

Best selection of wines, ciders, and brandies that we have so far found in the Boston area.

S. Lindsey

The destination for Waldo's!!!

henry goldfarb

Great selection of beers and wines. Also tasty deli sandwiches!

Penn Wiggins

This place is amazing. It is small, but somehow not too cramped feeling inside. They have a wonderful selection, and the customer service is always on point. I recently went in looking for a cheese to snack on, said maybe a dozen vague words to an employee about what I liked in cheese, and left with my new favorite cheese ever. The staff is always knowledgable, kind, and approachable. This is a lovely store.

Amos Yeung

Conveniently located wine and cheese store in between Union and Inman square. They have an extensive wine collection and also liquers. Cheese is also very varied along with other bites to go with your alcohol. There is also parking beside the store.

Alan Uhler

Amazing selections of beer, wine, and cheese. Very knowledgeable staff.

Colin McNair

Good quality beer, wine and liquor. And some nice food stuffs.

Kal Amir

My favorite wine shop

Bob McCaffrey

Great selection

Trevor Driscoll

Great store with a good selection of wines/cheeses and a spectacular staff! If you are a fan of natural wine I’d definitely suggest checking this place out and asking some of the staff about it. Everyone is very knowledgeable. They have a pretty good selection of amari but in general I’d say it’s average on the beer/liquor. They will happily order you anything they don’t currently have though.

JoJo Nguyen

It's got the solutions to all the worlds problems. And the have chees.

Dylan Phelan

Great selection of wines, liquors and beers, accompanied by a fantastic variety of cheeses and jams.

Guido Stein

Great place to buy wine and other spirits. The staff are great at answering queries.

Jacqueline Trudeau

Great selection and staff is incredibly helpful - just tell them what you like, what you would like to buy, whether you're pairing with something, and your budget and they'll find something perfect!

Richard Hughes

Poor customer service

Jason Rennie

One of the best wine shops in the Boston area. Excellent selection of European wine. In particular, they do a solid job of finding quality German Rieslings instead of the flabby stuff one finds in most other stores. They also have a top-notch cheese selection and offer bread from Clear Flour. The wine employees are very knowledgeable and make good recommendations. But, I also like the fact that if I pick a "random" bottle off the shelves (of a region/grape I like), it's almost always good, sometimes surprisingly so. The selection is carefully put together to represent quality and value, not to simply push volume. Prices are not low, but they do give case discounts, esp. during their quarterly sale. As another reviewer noted, the selection does seem to be biased toward lively/acidic wines---a plus in my opinion.

Tom Thornton

Quality

Jacob Roundtree

Excellent staff. Great selection

Ryan Whitworth

My neighborhood spot to grab a quick bottle or gear up for a party. Beer, wine, snacks! Mmm.

Maya Smith

Most terrible experience I've ever had in my life. Extremely rude and snobby store manager and staff. If you are taking my money, be nice.

Jonah Sacks

Good selection of wine, beer, spirits, including some oddball stuff. Knowledgeable and helpful staff. Great cheese too, song meats, and a few specialty food items

Jennifer Kelly

Pricey, but good selection of beer and wine. A cheese lovers paradise. Helpful staff.

Bob Keeley

Great wine selection (and beer too). Also a good stop if you're on a cheese vision quest. Ended up getting a seriously creamy greek sheeps cheese after falling in love with a free sample.

Jonathan Barcus

Great selection of Beer, Wine, and cheese. Love the cheese samples they put out. I often times buy what I sample.

Caroline Cook de Sola

I want to love this place, I really do...but, after working just down the street from them for over seven years now, they still don't say hello to me. Their stuff is a little pricier than other places and that in and of itself doesn't bother me if I'm supporting local business.

Henry Wilkins

NIce selection of wine and cheese

Alex Bell

Fantastic selection of wines (probably other things too, but not my area of expertise), great monthly deals, and helpful staff.

elizabeth centauro

So many choices! Best variety around and very nice staff who are willing to help you find whatever you’re looking for. Interesting store to browse around. Good cheese and cracker selection. I was able to find some of my favorite local brands. I love that I can pick up a single can of some things since I like trying something new all the time. My friend was looking for a specific wine and I was able to find it for her there when no one else around carried it. Cider, beer, wine, and liquor.

James F

Fantastic selection without deranged prices. Not a sit-down place, but you can get sandwiches worth mentioning.

Tim Armstrong

Great selection, knowledgeable staff, what else could you want?

Blake Willmarth

Prices are somewhat hidden and not cheap. Dingy, cramped interior. The parking lot might have a bigger footprint than the store

Stephanie Jack

Best wine selection. Best prices on alcohol. Very knowledgeable and helpful staff. Good cheese selection, too.

Sheraz Choudhary

Wonderful selection of wines and beers. Their wine specials of the day are always amazing and also cheap. The cheese is expensive but excellent.

Adaline Lining

They have everything you need, whether for a cozy night in or for hosting a party. The wine experts are very helpful and approachable. This place also makes a great sandwich! The only downside is that they close on the earlier side so checking their hours is key so that you're not left high and dry

Edward Li

The staff here are phenomenal. Didn't carry the wine that I was looking for and so offered to import it for me. Amazing selection.

David Lukwago

Well stocked

Ethan Raker

Very rude staff. I'll take my business elsewhere.

David Belmonte

A little pricey for what it is. But I'm glad it's there.

raidome

Great selection of wine. The beer fridge is smaller but ecletic. The cheese fridge is drool inducing. Staff is knowledgable and friendly. There is parking but its a small lot. Still a highly recommended experience. A great place to put together a great cheese plate for a dinner party.

TnT Guillermo Reisz

Excellent selection. Knowledgeable and helpful staff.

Bonnie Wall

Zero customer service when searching for wine and just overall poorly organized

Tony Gozdz

Good selection of cheeses and very yummy sandwiches.

Jill Smith

An excellent place to get good wines for a good price on the holidays.

Donal Waide

Knowledgeable staff, great cheese samples
