Grande Krewe

I went here for a wine tasting, which was excellent. The representative was very knowledgeable. The employees were super friendly and even offered me an extra taste of wine, and there are two adorable shop pugs. They have a decent variety of price points. I think they have tastings every Thursday plus other events, but check their social media. It would be great to combine a tasting here with dinner next door.

I was in the neighborhood before going to dinner at a friend's house and needed to grab a bottle of wine so I stopped in here shortly before they closed. The person working immediately greeted me and offered assistance. I said I was looking for an inexpensive bottle that was chilled that red wine lovers would like. They recommended this $20 something bottle. It was SO good. I was in and out and minutes. Had a great convo with the person assisting me and went on my way. Staff is definitely knowledgeable. There's a large selection and things are very organized. I recommend.

Have I told y'all how awesome this place is for their free delivery service within Orleans Parish & for their selections of wine and customer service and more!! So first of all, in this crazy few years since the COVID pandemic happened, I am so grateful for when this business is able to deliver me such amazing wines to my front doorstep. Second, they have an amazing team of owners (white and black) who have an amazing manager, Terry, who gets in things not found anywhere else! As far as I'm concerned, of all the different independent wine shops that I go to, this one has the best selection of red wines from the Ribera del Duero region is Spain plus some good ports and other creative things!! And I love red wine from Ribera del Duero! 3rd, when the pandemic has gone through some safer phases, they have hosted some wonderful tastings and guest hosts, one of my friends, and the events have always been wonderful. So that's that, shop local, shop online or in person and shop small... and get it delivered to your door, (except on Sunday)!

I had never been to this wine shop before as I'm the type that picks up wine from my grocery store, but I was attending their anniversary party with my Krewe to provide atmosphere and pour champagne. I figured as long as I'm here, I should take a bottle home (make it two!) I described the types of varietals and regions I enjoy, and their salesperson recommended 5 bottles that I would enjoy. I took home an Israeli Gewürztraminer and a New Zealand Sauvignon blanc. SO friendly, and accommodating!

How have I never reviewed Grand Krewe? It's the most wonderful wine store! GK packs so many different wines and spirits into that space, and so many hard-to-find wines, at that. Everyone there is so knowledgeable and personable, you can easily find what you need at any price range. Post-covid, all protocols are being followed. I attended a lovely champagne tasting last night and felt completely safe. Highly recommend checking out any kind of tasting here! They do other wine tastings and spirits too. GK is truly a local gem, an only-in-NOLA place. Please support this wonderful local business!

Very nice wine shop with a carefully curated selection of really good wines.Also selected liquors and a few beers.Great place...

New wine shop in my neighborhood and I get to be FTR. This is a rare opportunity 'round these parts these days.The people behind Grande Krewe are as welcoming as can be. As soon as my friends and I entered the store last night, we were offered a glass of the coldest rosé (the only way one should drink rosé, in my opinion) as we browsed.The shop is small, but stocked full of a great variety of bottles from around the world (sectioned accordingly). I was most impressed with the bubbly section. Yes, they had your Doms, your Krugs and your Veuves, but a good selection of mid range priced bottles I've never heard of (small batch?) Porch pounders (new word I learned!) on the bottle shelf. The owners are helpful and passionate about keepin' it local. There are two comfy armchairs in the front of the shop and don't be surprised if you feel like taking a load off and opening one of your just-purchased bottles right there. Lovely shop. I suspect I'll soon be a regular. Most likely will be keeping my eyes mid-shelf, though there are a good variety of modestly-priced wines (even an area with bottles $10 and under) as well as those setting you back a couple of C-notes on top shelf. Nice selection of spirits, too!

Kind of a beautiful hallucination really as Grande Krewe seems to appear out of nowhere as one is out strolling about. And inside is exactly what you would want a thoughtful neighborhood wine/spirits store to be-wines from around the world, from the better known to the whimsical. And a truly glorious wall of bubbles. The spirits are a carefully curated lot, with a great many things that you probably haven't heard of as well as the ones you know and love. Were it not enough, the room itself is ELEGANT, from the music playing to the beautiful soul behind the counter(I forgot her name, which I feel bad about as she learned mine! I blame it on all the cool selections)who conducts this booze ride with style.Aaaaaaand, you can taste!For 15 minutes I forgot the pandemic completely ;)So, if you need a bottle and a little peace of mind, journey on down to Grande Krewe and I promise your day will improve...

Great store! Went looking for bourbon. Owners were very helpful and I left with a very tasty Pinhook bourbon that I've never had before. As a tourist it is unlikely that I'll be back, but I highly recommend this place.

Racial profiling -- my husband and I (Black) couldn't browse the store without being followed around by who seemed to be the owner (white woman with red hair). Within seconds of my husband picking up/choosing a bottle, she had taken it to put at the front near the register. Very uncomfortable experience. Won't be back.
