400 Washington St, Holliston“Great store! So much variety on the different craft beer and beverages. You can always find something cool and new to try. Also all of my favorite brews are there like Dragons Milk from CT, and zero Gravity Beer from VT. Definitely check them out and make your own 6 pack!”
“Lavin's liquors is a good grab and go kind of store They also have every so often food trucks come that's my favorite part so if you don't go there for the liquor go try the food trucks that show up there every so often”
“There's a reason this is named one of the best bars of 2023! I'm not going to lie, when we got there and saw that it was not a big space, I wasn't sure how to feel, but once you get in and sit down, all of that goes away and you get an understanding to the experience that you're about to get here. Limited seating gives you the experience to enjoy your sake and not only get an answer from the servers, but a great story behind the sake, and the processes they go through. They tell a great story and you could hear the enthusiasm in their voice. Low lights, beautiful décor, amazing sake glasses, and smiles bring this place together. Also, try the Cat Tarot cards. They're fun in their own way, but we ended up getting some laughs out of it and the other customers got in on it as well. Don't sleep on the food here. It may not seem like much, but the saltines, cream cheese and miso were a hit and of course we had to get a bowl of steamed rice to munch on. Huge thank you to Courtney & Moe for providing us an exceptional experience. If you're not sure what you want to drink, give them an adjective and they'll get you something that you like. I went with "dangerous" and it hit the spot! The only negative comment that I have to say is that it got hot in there. I get that it was only 30 something outside and opening the door would probably have turned the place into a freezer within minutes, so I won't take any stars off from that.”
“Solid sandwich's. I ordered a chicken parm and it was good. The Italians my kids got were very good and the bread was fresh. Everything was a great quality and the service was excellent. This a great local place.”
“Best wine shop in the metro West. Bob Harkey is second to none in wine IQ. Most importantly, he teaches you about wine in a friendly style. From beginner to expert, he meets you where you're at in wine knowledge to help you find the wine you're looking for. (I know this reads like a planted review, but it isn't - honest! Just a long time customer)”
“Quality wine not big names. Wide variety of wine including rare grapes and areas. Spirits section has few big names, but quality is great. Microbrew selection is impressive.”
“Friendly, knowledgeable staff and great wine and beer selection. We stopped in while they were doing a wine tasting and had a good time socializing with staff and other customers.”

1160 Boylston St, Chestnut Hill“The gentleman who helped me was super helpful, informative and never tried to upsell/push me. This store has a lot of different wines from all over with good pricing. I will be back. There's a small parking lot and two entrances Boylston and Heath st.”
“This store is an experience. John the owner has tasted almost everything in the store and is so friendly and helpful! I’m so out of my element with beer and cider etc and he stayed right with me the whole time patiently helping me customize a four pack of cider to suit my taste. I love that you don’t have to commit to a full 4/6 pack of something and hope you like that brand. Create your own sampler pack with one of each to see what you like best. I’ve gone before to put together custom packs of beer for my cousin and John asked questions about what he liked to drink to put together a nice selection. Great place for Christmas shopping. Definitely give this place a try! Bonus- the store is super clean and organized not your typical liquor store at all. Thanks John. Merry Christmas!”

29 N Main St, Sherborn“I stopped by Sherborn Wine & Spirits to pick up some items for my company's vendor Christmas baskets. Ann saw that I came equipped with a list and went above and beyond to assist me in finding the perfect gifts! She helped me pick out seasonal wines within my budget that I know our vendors will love! She even helped carry them out to my car and directed me where to go for the items she was all out of. It is very rare to get the level of customer service and care that she provided me with, I have been telling my friends and family about her all day! Thank you Ann for being so kind and helpful! Will definitely be back for future gifts!”

“In addition to an impressive selection of interesting craft beers, you will find Jeni’s ice cream, the best you’ve ever had. Looking for something specific? Special orders are no problem. Ample free parking in the huge lot behind the store, adjacent to the train.”
“Dion's just works. My dog likes it too. I used to be a Gordon's regular. I do miss Friday evening wine tastings at the split but Dion's in Nonantum is better in every way.”

“We lived in Newtonville for 3 years before ever going to Village and I regret it more than I can explain! If I knew such a delicious breakfast spot was within walking distance from my house I would have been there every weekend. Fortunately we found it before I got pregnant so I was able to spend 9 months nom-ing on delicious hash, home fries and omelets before we moved over to Auburndale. Luckily we're not far so we can still make trips over to Village on the weekend. The staff is super friendly, the coffee is great. We even tried out dinner recently with my entire family and we were blown away by the high quality food and the portion size! This is a place I will come to again and again and never get sick of. The only recommendation I have for them is to bring down the spice level of the bloody marys - too hot to enjoy (and I like spicy food!).Kid-friendliness: Crayons and drawing mat for kids. Kid menu. Servers are so nice to the kids and make them feel welcomed!”

6 Worcester St, Natick“I stopped in this place on my way home, it was warm and friendly. I asked the man in the aisle - now known as "Bill" about a wine I had tasted. He knew exactly what I was looking for and stated the contents as a lower alcoholic percentage. I had no idea that wines had this! Instead, Bill recommended a French Pinot Noir, and it was fabulous! My friend, who only drinks WHITE grapes, had a sip, and she begged to keep the bottle for herself! The store has a wonderful selection, the prices were well below their competition. I would go back again and tell all my friends! Thank you Bill!”
“Excellent selection of domestic, import, and local craft beer. Large variety of wine that I know nothing about. A good wall of whiskey. Fairly small rum section, but some good options for mixing or sipping. Most importantly, accurate and transparent pricing on the shelves for every single bottle or can.”
“Really good wines, and they get new brands in all the time. The Larkins are all just good people - it's not surprising that they have been in business for such a long time.”
“Did you know that the sandwich and deli counter at Marty's in Newton is amazing!? Every time I have a business meeting in Newton, I detour to Marty's for a delicious Turkey/Swiss on sourdough. SO GOOD! Great prepared foods section as well, and of course, there is a huge variety of beverages at the store.”
