About us:
"When you walk into wine-sense, you quickly discover that it's not your typical wine shop. And it doesn't want to be. For over ten years, Samanta Ettore, a native of Tuscany, and her staff have worked to give their customers a "sense" of how each bottle on the shelves can complement their lives. Through years of delivering wine education and traveling to vineyards around the world, the wine-sense team ensures that all customers - whether wine aficionados or people new to wine - leave with the right bottle. With additional culinary backgrounds, Samanta and her team can also ensure that your food and wine pairings are perfect for any occasion.
When visiting winemakers come to wine-sense and at times end up leaving with bottles, you know it's a special shop. Winemakers understand what it takes to bottle a dream and know that their wine will only speak the truth about their efforts, their grapes, their land, and their history. wine-sense brings that to you. It's not just about the wine; it's about the sense of the wine.
wine-sense is an award-winning wine purveyor with a continually changing inventory that embraces seasonality, small production and new discoveries in the world of wine. This makes every visit to wine-sense a special occasion. If you want a bottle of wine, any shop will do. If you want the sense of wine, then wine-sense is your place."

Thursday, July 27
"A Muscadet A Day Keeps The Doctor Away" - That's a cute phrase I was once told by a great client and friend. So, I'm obsessing over Muscadet this summer and I would love to share them with you. Stop by 6 to 8.
A WORD ON ROSÉS
Did you know that we've featured approximately 40 different rosés this season? Wait, what?
When I opened my shop almost 11 years ago, I had only 5 to 7 different rosés on the shelves and it was so much fun to see people's reaction when they found out that...well, these wines were not horrible! Today, to say that rosés have made a comeback is an understatement. Once something becomes a trend you run the risk of it being taken over by big productions and big-box stores, but our approach to our rosé selection is as truthful and as dedicated as our selection of red, whites, and sparkling. We take pride in working only with small distributors in MA, such as Mise, Café Europa, Mucci, Cynthia Hurley, and many more.
At the moment we're offering a selection of 18 different rosés and we also verbally share our detailed tasting notes to help you find just the right one to enjoy and share.
