Exciting stuff is brewing (and fermenting!) in Arlington, MA.  The Mystic Wine Shoppe is set to open in the coming days in the long-unoccupied building next to the Stop & Shop on Massachusetts Avenue.

Owner Eric Faiola welcomed Mr. Cups and me into Mystic Wine Shoppe this afternoon for a sneak peek.  The 2,000 s.f. store will offer an array of wines at all price points (arranged by grape), craft beers and spirits.  They’ll have weekly specials and tastings (yum!), along with wine accessories and other goodies.  Plus, there’s plenty of free parking. 

Arlington was a dry town until recent years, which forced residents into adjacent towns if they wanted something a little stronger than Diet Coke to enjoy with dinner.  That won’t be a problem any more, thanks to this terrific new store.

Watch this space for more details on Mystic Wine Shoppe, along with what I hope will be regular reviews of some of their featured wines.
