Tucked back from Route 28 in Andover, wine-sense owner Samanta Ettore is knowledgeable, approachable, and welcoming. More like visiting an old friend than a shop, Ettore is passionate about her business and offers excellent suggestions on her selection of boutique vintages from around the world. With a range of price points, there is a bottle for every budget. Although the shop is small, the selections are superb. She also hosts wine tastings that are informative and fun.
