WINO Shop

I purchased two bota boxes at this store on Friday, August 20th. I opened one with my friend that night. The wine was AWFUL, it tasted like it had turned. It tasted so bad we couldn't drink it. I will note I've had this wine before and so i knew it did not taste normal or fresh. So, my friend and I decided to open the other box. That box was also turned! I turned both boxes over to check for an expiration date, and found that both were outdated! One expired March 2021 and the other June 2021. I think it's terrible this shop would sell expired wine to their customers. I wanted to return the wine but saw they are not open on the weekends according to yelp, so I needed to wait until Monday. It's now Monday (and I'm only here for the weekend) so I walked to this shop to finally return the bad wine. And what guess what? They aren't open even though hours online says they should be! Great. Check your inventory for freshness before you place something on your shelf to sell!

I decided to go here one day on a whim, and I can not think of a more intimate & professional wine shop. Although the selection seems small compared to big-box stores, rest assured that the it is highly curated and high-quality.When I visited the staff quickly helped me end my aimless wandering to wines not only of my favorite varietals but well within my price range.I ended up getting two rosés based on their recommendation. One was from France, which the staff described as "savory." He simply could not have been more correct: the wine was absolutely delectable, and left my mouth watering and begging for another sip. All that being said, it's not a wine I would've picked for myself, so I am SO glad he was there to steer me to something of my taste and budget. I simply could not recommend more to locals and tourists alike.

Owner is a wine educator who chooses his wines to sell carefully. Many really good wines at under $20 along with more selective wines. Spirit section is small but again carefully chosen. Most Thursdays there is a free tasting. Located inside Place St. Charles. Convenient if you work or live downtown or if you're visiting New Orleans. Definitely check it out.

Nice selection of scotch and local beers. Located in the same building as the Hampton Inn. Very convenient.
