Nejaime’s Stockbridge Wine Cellar

This tiny store is tucked away off the main street by an art gallery, bank, and cafe. Once inside you'll find a store dedicated to about 50% wine and 50% beer. The beer selection impressed me with a nice range of locals (Berkshire, Big Elm, and Element being most obvious) and brands from further away (Sierra Nevada, Firestone Walker, etc).

Prices fell in line with the other stores in the area though without a good reference for MA in general they felt a little high. Selection of singles though is limited to larger format bombers. If you want cans or 12 ounce bottles then you'll have to go elsewhere.

I would not go far out of my way to visit but if you happen to be in Stockbridge already it doesn't hurt to do a quick drop in. The worst case scenario will be that you walk away empty handed after a couple minutes of browsing.

Visited later in the day on a Monday. They place is about at the edge of Stockbridge for activity. There is a restaurant next to it, but otherwise you need to walk back toward town to find anything. They have a parking lot, but it is small. Inside they have a large selection of wine, liquor, and beer. The beer is all in the back of the store except for a few items that are on the right about halfway back. The small format bottles were all in 4/6 packs with no option to split up for a mix pack. That’s unfortunate, because I would have made a purchase if it were the other way around. Prices were fair. They had a good selection, and the staff were friendly. Worth visiting if you want a large format bottle for the evening and are staying close by.

Small but cool store in middle of historic stockbridge..very nice selection of cheeses and snack items up front with wine the focus..but the beer offerings are pretty good for the area including jacks abbey..small bomber selection with a few hard to find items..definitely worth a pitstop if in the vicinity..

This place is a true diamond in the rough. While Nejaime’s does specialize in wine, they pay excellent attention to their beer selection and offer a very impressive range of beers. Lots of local beers, especially Berkshire Brewing and Berkshire Mountain/Barrington Brewery. A decent range of imports, and a nice array of other US beers. They have some special beers as well; on my last visit they had Firestone-Walker XV. Prices are good and the shop is very well organized. There is also a nice assortment of drinking snacks, like cured meats, cheeses, dips, etc. This shop doesn’t have the variety of the Lenox Nejaime’s, but it is still pretty outstanding, especially when you consider its location in the middle of historic Stockbridge, a town not at all know for its beer awareness. If you’re driving through the center of Stockbridge (i.e. going past the Red Lion Inn and all the other shops) this Nejaime’s is just off the main street. Definitely worth a visit if you are passing through.
