In no particular order:
Fauborg Wines
Swirl
Keife & Co
Hoppers
Pearl
Hoppers tends to be my go to.

If that was a Martin's, I don't think it was anytime recently like they stated. Maybe they're confusing Maxwells with Martin?



Poster is definitely not confusing Maxwells and Martin's. There was a Martin's at Jefferson near Old Hammond where that mattress store currently is circa 2009 or so. Probably been closed for ten years when they consolidated everything into the Perkins location.

Don't remember them serving lunch at the Martin's on Jefferson, but they may have.

Looks like the new location is a few blocks further down, on the opposite side of the street (the shopping center behind the Circle K).

Ahhh okay. Yeah 10 years ago wouldn't have been defined as recent to me. But that makes sense.

Maybe it was that long ago but wasn’t confusing the two. Building was across the street from La Madeline’s on the corner not in the strip mall on Jefferson. Guess I’m getting old.

New Martins is across from Stone OFF the road. Went by today. It’s nestled on the other side of the huge ok tree that has a sitting areas for the businesses. Very hard to see and quite small.

Haven't made it to Elio's, but have been intending to drop by it.
Swirl is also a great place to buy and drink a bottle, and grab some food from 1000 Figs to go with it.

Martin’s southern Rhône selection trumps Hoppers. One thing that Hoppers does do well is Rieslings and hard to find left bank Bordeaux’s, but if I’m paying for a 10 yr old left bank I’m buying online for significantly less than what I can get from Hopper’s or even Martin’s for that matter.

Hopper's has some tremendous values for just everyday drinking wines. They have a few under $20 French whites and reds that are just unbelievable values. If I'm going for the high end bottles, I tend to go to Keife's.

Never one in that area of Perkins. Might they mean Marcello's?
