A Word about Winestein...
Say the words "wine expert"
and the average person might think of someone
snobbish, like television's Frasier Crane. But Albert Winestein owner
Sean Martin, a down-to-earth son of Southie, is a million miles from Frasier and
Niles.
The self-proclaimed home of
"smart wine, simple cheese," Albert Winestein opened in December 2007. A. W. offers more than 150 different wine labels, along with several domestic and imported craft-brewed beers offered on
a rotating basis. The shop also sells several rotating varieties of
cheese, as well as fine chocolate bars.
Martin has a refreshing approach to the wine business: "I don't want to make it seem
like I know more about wine than everybody else. We're not trying
to intimidate anybody." But he does know his stuff, based on years of experience as a bartender, restaurateur, and wine broker (as well as science and phys. ed. teacher and fitness center owner).
Albert Winestein is located at 84 Fairmount Ave. in Hyde Park. They're open Tuesday - Saturday, 4:00 - 9:00 PM - tel. 617-333-6777.
