The Urban Grape features over 850 wines that are uniquely organized by weight, rather than varietal or region. This is a new approach to wine retail pioneered by owners TJ and Hadley Douglas called “progressive shelving,” which allows the customer to focus on whether the wine is light, medium, or full-bodied.
“Just after celebrating our one year anniversary at The Urban Grape, we are humbled and honoured to be featuring the Decanter World Wine Award winners at our store in Massachusetts. This is an exceptional experience and we look forward to sharing these wines with our most valued clients – some bottles are like old friends, while the others are sure to become new favourites.”
TJ and Hadley Douglas, Proprietors
