The Tasting Room

This Garden District spot for sipping is relatively new to the scene and oh so worth discovering. The place is intimate, and ideal place to break from strolling and shipping for a glass or three. Wine flights and half-glasses give the curious drinker plenty of options for discovery. Small plates are fun to share. Try the avocado toast, charcuterie, roasted heirloom cauliflower and grilled Alaskan salmon, with a dark chocolate cake sure to tempt with your favorite red wine. When the weather is fine, sit in the romantic courtyard. Besides about 15 wines by the glass you can buy a bottle to open at the bar or bring home.
