Very charming, down to earth store with an excellently curated selection of wine and spirits. You can tell that passionate people run this place. John Paul made a great wine recommendation that drank exactly as described- right up my alley. Enjoying the last glass as I write this… Thanks again, John Paul. For me, this store ticks all the right boxes: a local spot, that has kind and knowledgable staff, with a nice selection at very fair prices. I’ll definitely be back. Cheers.

What luck...we just moved to the neighborhood and my cousin recommend we visit Craft and Crew. Wow this store is wonderful. My wine knowledge is lacking...but that is not an issue as C&R have wine tasting and the staff JP and Gabby are super knowledgeable. They have been great at helping us pick something out. The store has a superior selection of wine/bourbon/gin beer chocolate etc . We love this place....Paul

Even though we don't live in the area, we've been to this store twice in the past year, and each time, we've been impressed with the friendly and knowledgeable staff, excellent section, and pricing. The store has a lot of charm as well.An example of how the staff goes beyond expectations.... I casually asked how the sake tasting went on the prior night, knowing that we missed it. We were then invited to participate in a sake tasting on the spot... It was really interesting and fun, and we are so grateful for that level of service. Oh, and their baguettes on Saturday afternoon were amazing.We ended up purchasing a mixed case assembled with the help of the knowledgeable owner. He answered all of our questions and made an excellent suggestion for meal accompaniment.Bravo to both who attended to us.

I live locally and have been coming here roughly once per week since their opening. While the beer selection is definitely worth coming for, I spend more time in the wines. I've never had a bad recommendation from John Paul and I find myself being excited to come in and see what's new nearly every week. There's always a good rotation of interesting new things, alongside more standard expected stalwarts. While they would never advertise themselves as a natural wine store, you will find most of the same heavy hitters from other local (and more expensive) natural wine stores available here. The unspoken culture of this store seems to be carrying good quality wine regardless of trend, and that alone is worth the recommendation. I love coming here and I have no reason to go out of my way to visit any other wine store in the Boston area.

We loved this business when it was only a wine shop, that owner sold to new owners and now they carry a lot more than wines. The wine selection is always great as is the micro brews, if you stop in and explain what you are looking for wine or beer to go with a meal, their suggestions are always great.

Honestly, I'm not as big as fan of this store as the previous version esprit du Vin. They have stopped carrying some of the stuff that I liked. And several of the employees have been less than knowledgeable when it ask for opinions on certain bottles of wine. They do still carry my favorite brand of limoncello what you can't find anywhere else!

Exceptional service, great prices. Not a huge store but everything inside has been thoughtfully curated by their unbelievably knowledgeable team. A gem.

This is a great little beer and wine store in a neat little pocket of town. They were very knowledgeable, helpful, and they had a very good selection considering they were on the smaller side. Prices were quite reasonable too.

Really nice spot with a knowledgeable staff if you're feeling indecisive. Or, like me, have no idea about wine. I was able to say a few things that I like and they took it from there. The beer selection is all from the Northeast, with lots of smaller craft places.

Fabulously knowledgeable staff and an amazing collection of interesting and fabulous wines you cannot get elsewhere. My favorite wine store in the greater Boston area

The staff are extremely helpful and don't just push you to the more expensive wine. For special dinners I always ask for pairing recommendations - and they've never disappointed!

Very good connoisseurs. You will get very accurate advise on beer, wine AND Japanese whiskey with one of their staff trained in Japan.

The owners and staff members are very knowledgeable and helpful. They have a selection of local beverage. Tastings Fridays and Saturdays are a great way to find something you like before you buy
