Raise your hand if you know where Hyde Park is.
Keep it raised if you’ve actually been.
Yeah, we thought so. Might want to Google Map it so you can meet Sean Martin, owner of Albert Winestein. His adorably named shop has been there for months waiting for you to visit.
When you walk in, he’ll offer you a tasting glass of vino — he’ll have one, too — then chat about the bottle and who’s producing it (he’s also a wine broker). Next he’ll peel off a slice of Gruyere or some other fantastic cheese for you to try. You’ll browse the bottles, and he’ll point out his recs for pizza and takeout, roast chicken, or dessert.
Maybe you’ll taste a porto along with some truffles made by his neighbors across the street. You’ll laugh. You’ll buy a few bottles.
Then you’ll promise to come back.
Now that you know where he is.
Albert Winestein, 84 Fairmount Avenue, Hyde Park (617-333-6777 or albertwinestein.com).
