Frommer's Review
If you're a wine lover or connoisseur -- or if you want to become one -- Martin Wine Cellar may be your most significant find in New Orleans. It carries an eye-popping selection of wines, spirits, and champagnes at surprisingly reasonable prices. It's not rare to find a $10 wine recommended and described in baffling detail. The store has an extensive selection of preserves, coffees, teas, crackers, biscotti, cookies, cheeses, and even cigars that are a perfect accompaniment to drinks (and that are often imported and hard to find elsewhere). A bigger location is at 714 Elmeer Ave. (in the 1200 block of Veterans Memorial Blvd.) in Metairie (tel. 888/407-7496 or 504/896-7300).
