Help finding a wine (Baton Rouge)

Can any of you wine drinkers help me out? I never cared for wine but recently tried the multi-course meal with wine at Zorba's and found one I really liked.
It is a pinot noir called Innocent Bystander. I want to find a bottle or two to bring on the cruise I am taking soon. Problem is, I looked at a couple of near by grocery stores and had no luck. I tried Albertsons and then Calandros. Can any of you recommend a place that sells a lot of different types of wine? Since I never drink the stuff I don't really know all the places to look in town other than grocery stores. Thanks for any help!

Cuban liqour either has it or can get it.

Try Martin's Wine Cellar. After that I would have said Calandro's.

That´s probably an HORECA wine (hotel, restaurant, catering), and not available on a retail basis.

I think it is Q-bin Liquor now

Well, that would suck. I found a way to order it online and you can pick up at FedEx. I just can't do that in time for my cruise. Oh well, I will call around a few of these places and ask. Thanks everyone.
If anyone could recommend a good pinot noir, I am all about trying something else if I can trust it is good.

Call and ask for a special order somewhere you frequent. They should special order it.

Checked Martin's, Maxwell's and called Whole Foods (a friend used to work there and said they used to have it, they don't now) and one other place that a friend called for me. No luck so far. No big deal, I just really wanted some Pinot Noir for the cruise but since this is the only one I ever gave much of a chance, I am scared to try some other random brand and wouldn't know a good one if it jumped out at me. A friend suggested La Crema. Anyone vouch for that or have other suggestions?

Solid wine year in and year out. Decent price on it as well and it tastes like pinot should.

Got a bottle of what I was looking for, Innocent Bystander. The night we left Zorba's they sent home my father-in-law with a bottle and he gave it to us. I didn't ask because I assume he drank it by now. Then he also sent us home with a bottle of Pinot called En Route. Supposedly very good and goes for around $50 a bottle. I am excited to see if I can even tell the difference between a $20 bottle and $50 bottle.

En Route is owned by Far Niente. High quality juice and much more concentrated than tour other, even if it isn't my style of pinot noir overall.

Where are you now? Assuming Houston, I have a great friend and client to send your way.

I'm in wine distribution focusing on the City Centre area of Houston. Have gotten out of the restaurant industry probably for good, unless one day I do my own thing. Those hours can take its toll on you. Heading back home for the holiday this weekend so might pop into corporate brew or the cove tonight for a drink before heading to the moms house.

I'm a little late to the discussion, but maybe this will help you:
