Vieux Carre Wine & Spirits

I stopped by here and was impressed by the selection. Most of the bottle were $1-$2 overpriced in my opinion, but the selection was good and they seemed nice. I bought two bottles of wine for $30.They bagged it in a double plastic bag even though I asked for a box. On my way home the wine bottles fell through the cheap plastic bags and broke on the pavement.I took them back to get a refund or replacement bottles. I was very polite and asked, and they proceeded to yell at me and accused me of swinging the bottles over my head. I was attempting to be reasonable and I remained calm and they just got more angry before finally getting their henchman to escort me to the door. I had the bags with holes in them and the broken bottles, I hadn't been out of the store for 10 minutes and they were accusing me of some great wine conspiracy. I was actually embarrassed for them.Anyway, for your wine needs I suggest you go down the street. Matt S.

I hope the two seasoned gentlemen who run this long time shop never retire!!!!Always something to discover in this store that seems to go on forever from the front door. A small table at the front to allow folks to sit and visit. A wide variety of wines, liquors, beers and liqueurs. In an age where one seems to rarely find Chablis in a restaurant, at least one can find a nice French Chablis at this place to enjoy at home.You may come across a spirited discussion during your visit, but the folks here are friendly, knowledgable and happy to help with questions.This place is a favorite stop on our visits to New Orleans and one to add to your future visits.
