Wellesley Wine Aficionado Sounds Off on Neighboring Town’s Consideration of Removing ‘Dry’ Status

There are no liquor stores in Wellesley. The town has numerous restaurants with bars, but you can’t pick up a 6-pack on your way home from work inside Wellesley’s borders.

The same goes for Needham, but as wine connoisseur Robert Dwyer - who runs his own blog, The Wellesley Wine Press - writes in a Jan. 22 post on The Swellesley Report, that could soon change in Wellesley’s neighbor to the southeast.

Dwyer’s post takes a historic and extremely local look at what it could mean if Wellesley went “wet.” 

There has not been much talk about this at the town government level, though 2011 Town Meeting began .
