The abundance of fine wines and gourmet munchies brings out the Dionysian foodie in everyone.

The Scene
Almost like New York City's famed gourmet delis, Martin Wine Cellar is well stocked with exotic comestibles and vintages from around the world. Aisles are stacked with wines ranging from the affordably tasty to the oenophile's dream, including rarities that make fabulous gifts. Dried salamis dangle, cases are packed with prepared treats and shelves spill over with a veritable United Nations of international snack crackers, gourmet sauces and other goodies in cans and jars with labels not written in English.

The Draw
Besides a standard selection of gourmet deli, cheese, candy and other mouthwatering offerings to take home, Martin Wine Cellar also whips up gift baskets and custom-labeled wine to wow family and friends. Both the New Orleans and Metairie locations have fully stocked deli counters, too, so stop by for lunch, dinner or Sunday brunch.
