Newton Lower Falls Wine Company

I just had to buy a bottle of wine under protest. I left feeling like I had a «pretty woman» moment. They didnt greet me but you better believe they gave a warm welcome to the woman who wasnt dressed in all black and leather. Maybe try going out in the city one night and I wont look so strange

K, I know next to nothing about wine. I like reds. Merlots, riojas, and malbecs are yummy. All I know about «legs» is I can quote the ZZ Top song to make a cheesy joke when someone brings them up in relation to wine.
So. I used to work down the street from this place, and their employees would come in for coffee. They were all very nice. Rumor is they gave us discounts.
Oh! And once, as a kid, my dad was rushing me to the emergency room when I fell out of a kitchen chair and needed serious stitches in my head and later said he’d considered stopping in to grab some wine. (Strange childhood memory.)
I drop in when I need beer or wine and it’s on my way. I opt for the «under $ 15» bottles, or a case of beer. The store itself is very clean, and open decent hours. They have a lot of wine, but like I said, I know very little about it.

Of all the pretentious, over-​charging wine stores, this place takes the cake. We were bopping around Newton, and poked our heads in. Walking around, we overhead one of the salesmen pushing a $ 100 bottle of wine on some clueless Yuppies: «this is really special, it has a certain Je né Sais Quoi». When asked to elaborate further, he couldn’t do more than repeat «je né sais quoi».
That means «I don’t know what», doesn’t it? Had he even tried the wine? What’s sad is that the Yuppies nodded along, and bought the wine.
