Bin 428

This newer store specializes in wines.
Food: No solid «food», per se, but wines. The selection is great, especially if one is seeking mid-​to-​high end wines. There’s so much here that any attempt to try to list them all in a review would be pointless. 4 stars
Service: The couple of times I’ve entered the business, there were at least 2 employees working, one behind the counter and one working the floor to assist customers with any issues. They were quite friendly, helpful, and timely in their work. 4 stars
Facilities: Located in a row of commercial low-​rise buildings with such businesses as Radio Shack and Starbucks, I hesitate to use the term «strip mall», because that really doesn’t do it service, but one can arrive at a general conclusion as to the setup with that description. It is positioned near the corner of Magazine and Washington, an excellent location. Décor is spare, but more than suffices, allowing one not to be distracted by knick-​knacks and what-​not and focus instead on the stars of the show – the wines themselves. Signage is ample for the location, which is best arrived at by foot (there is rear parking and limited metered street parking available). The store is very clean, which makes me happy. 4 stars
Bonus: They do regular wine tastings weekly. Contact the business for more details if you’re interested.
Overall: Although it is fairly easy to procure wines in New Orleans at convenience stores and groceries, the city is rife with oenophiliacs that are constantly looking for new wines to try. The addition of yet another wine speciality store is a boon, rather than an over saturation of the market at this point. Competition in the market, even on more luxury-​level wines, is a good thing. Check out this store if you’re taking a day to shop on Magazine Street by foot on a good weather day, or if you’re looking for an alternative to Martin’s Wine Cellar or Philippe’s in the Uptown area. Not that those stores aren’t excellent choices as well, but this store lends some breadth to your shopping choices. 4 stars

Bin 428 is an exceptional wine shop on Magazine Street in New Orleans. The place is large, with a vast array of wine and spirits from all over the world. What sets it apart from other liquor stores is their classy nature, their unique gifts, and their friendly and in-​the-​know staff. The front of the store is devoted to showcasing creative beer and wine themed gifts, from specialty wine openers to decanters, or flasks for the bro’s to martini glasses, they have a lot of great options to choose from. The staff are well versed in the various types of wines and really try to help find you something special. Sometimes, it feels like you’re at your own wine tasting with the intricate descriptions the staff provide you with when you’re finding your perfect drink. They also have many options in every price range, and are respectful of your desired amount to spend. All in all, bin 428 is a nice store that’ll get your spirits up, if you know what I mean. :)

LOVE that they have unique wine, liquor, beer, and gifts all in one place always open at convenient times.
OVERALL: A good stop for unique wine, spirits, and beer, they have a refrigerated section if you’re on your way to a party or a parade. You don’t normally think of a wine store for gifts, but the front of the store is devoted to unique items in the kitchen and bar category. The owners and staff are wonderful. They always have something amazing to recommend, and the selection is constantly being updated to bring new, unique favorites into my life.
BONUS: they can and will special order! If you’re seeking a hard-​to-​find bottle, definitely ask them about finding it for you and shipping it to their store.
TASTINGS!!! Of course the tastings are a must-​do event! A fan since they opened, I’ve rather enjoyed seeing their tastings grow, even though that means tastings can get very crowded on certain nights. Sign up for their email list and you’ll be notified each week of the wine, beer, and spirit tastings that occur on Fridays as well as occassional Thursdays and Saturdays.

Very helpful in helping me select a wine. Decent wine selection. They even offered to find the wine I am looking for. A bottle of Duckhorn cab/​Merlot here cost $ 75. A glass of Duckhorn at the #Fountainlounge cost $ 35! A left with a bottle of Caymus and will definitely be back for more.

This place has some of the best wine & beer selection around. However, it really shines because of the friendly and knowledgeable staff. They have great suggestions and are incredibly helpful. They sell single beers and you can make your own six pack, which is great with their selection of craft beers. The wine tastings always seem to draw a good crowd, too.
The one thing that really puts this place over the top, though, is that they are the only place I know of in the area that carries the Game of Thrones beers by Ommegang.

Love this place! Excellent wine selecion and very helpful staff. Fun tasting events on Fridays 5:30 — 7:30, and very dog-​friendly!

So happy to have such a great place to shop for all things wine! The staff is friendly and extremely knowledgable. Great gifts also making it a one stop shop. Prices were good as well. I recommend checking it out if you are in the area.

There is one guy here who is super knowledgeable about every wine from every region. Talk to him and you are set!

My gf and I stopped in briefly last weekend while we were walking along Magazine Street. This place is fairly new and I think it has a lot of potential. They have a decent wine selection, especially French and domestic, as well as a pretty good local beer and liquor selection. They also have some nice wine/​beer/​liquor/​bar tools and gadgets.
The staff seemed very friendly and welcoming and were eager to help. I’m excited to see how this place progresses in the next couple months.

I went to this cute wine store the other day in search of an elusive pinkish-​hue Reisling I purchased from a wine tasting class during my undergraduate years at Chimes in Baton Rouge. While I did not find it, I enjoyed speaking to the girl who was stocking the fridge and I checked out what kinds if things they have in stock.
They have a decent selection of beers, but it’s mostly comprised of local flavors. They have a plentiful selection of French and new age reds, but their Spanish red collection could be improved upon.
Their staff was friendly and knowledgeable, and they had a nice selection if fun wine accessories. I believe this place will only get better! I believe they only recently opened.

Checked this place out like I do all places winey. Nice selection. Pricing is what you would expect, lower priced wines on the high end, but other wines decently priced considering the high rent these guys are paying. The selection was very nice and eclectic, a nice variety to choose from. The young lady running the shop was extremely engaging and interesting. We chatted a bunch about all things «spiritual.» Check it out if you’re in the neighborhood.

Finally open! Although it is a soft opening since they got their permits settled finally on February 28^th. They have a fun selection of gift items and they sell beer, wine & hard liquor.
The wines are really nicely curated and the prices are good. And best of all they are conveniently located in the LGD, a neighborhood that was needing a nicer liquor/​wine store.
I bought a couple of bottles of sparkling and my friends bought a bottle of whisky (and was supplied with go cups for convenient parade drinking). The owner, Candace (a longtime friend who I adore) and staff person, Katy (the beer expert) were there to assist us and were super helpful.
I can’t wait to see how they grow this business.
