The Best Wine Bars in New Orleans | Eater New Orleans

"The Independent Caveau is as cool as a wine bar gets, a storage unit-like building off the beaten path in Mid City. Husband and wife team Jim Yonkus and Joanne Close handpick a wide-ranging selection of old-world and cutting-edge winemakers, offering a collection so vast it requires an old-school library ladder to access. The pair’s use of wallpaper and color helps close in the high ceilings, creating a cozy nook for a bar at the end of the space where customers can enjoy a bottle and specialty meats and cheeses." - Clair Lorell
