WELCOME!
Hi there! Thank you for visiting wine-sense online. We hope to be as interactive, passionate, and knowledgeable on this website as we are in person.
Our approach is simple. We keep the seasons in mind and pair to the foods we’re cooking with at each time of year. OK, so we might be over-thinking a bit. But that’s why you love us!
If you’ve shopped in the store, you know our wines move fast and the selection changes often. So be sure to check back frequently for latest finds, our new obsessions, and recently allocated bottles. We’ll also share upcoming events and sales so, you can grab them while they’re in stock. – Samanta

Wine and Stuff
DINNER WITH MARY TAYLOR
Careful sourcing, support for small growers, and bottles that consistently provide great value for the price.
If you’ve been to wine-sense, you’ve probably seen Mary Taylor’s wines on the shelves. They’re all approachable, affordable, and true to their country of origin. A Massachusetts native, Mary has a background in the wine industry that most would envy but remains remarkably modest. When we first met, I was struck by the pride she takes in sourcing her wines from so many diverse regions. Her enthusiasm is infectious, especially when she talks about the dedicated growers she collaborates with, each contributing their own story and craftsmanship to the wine-making process.
Having Mary join us for this dinner is a real treat, and supporting her wines in my shop feels like more than just a business decision. It’s an opportunity to celebrate her passion and commitment to quality.
Join us on July 15th at 7 at Bistro 5 in Medford for a four-course dinner with Mary and yours truly.
Let’s have dinner, it’s been a while!
Wine Dinner | Exploring Sicily
Join us for another delightful dinner at Bistro 5 as we celebrate the soils of Sicily, where breathtaking scenery showcases nature at its fine. Think Alpine vegetation, rugged bush vines, stunning stone terraces, dark volcanic soil, and an expansive sky that seems to stretch forever. The evening will feature exquisite wines from Ragusa and Mt. Etna. Together with our friends Emily Carr and Chef Vittorio Ettore, we’ll share our deep passion for this remarkable wine-producing country. Book your seat here.
