GRANDE KREWE WINE AND SPIRITS AND MERRY ANTOINETTES
CELEBRATE THE SIXTH YEAR AND THE DAY OF LA BASTILLE

New Orleans celebrates all things French and Bastille Day is no exception. So in 2015, when Jane Cooper and Bob Heaps along with their partners Roy and Carla Arriola, opened a unique neighborhood liquor store, July 14 was their launch day. Grande Krewe is proud to be owned by women and minorities, with a unique retail and event space in the Faubourg Marigny. The store celebrates its 6 years on July 13 and 14 with two days of festivities.
The anniversary celebration is designed around champagne, a universal symbol of joie de vivre. All events are free, open to the public, and take place at Grande Krewe, 2305 Decatur Street. Tuesday July 13, the Merry Antoinettes will serve cold champagne and fried chicken. On July 14, it is the red and white wines of France with the trio Kevin Gullage in concert. Each evening’s celebration begins at 5.30 p.m. and ends at 8 p.m.
“Coming to Grande Krewe is an experience that locals and tourists alike cherish. This is all about New Orleans and we look forward to celebrating this major commercial milestone during the July 14 festivities, ”said Jane Cooper, owner of Grande Krewe.
Grande Krewe Fine Wine and Spirits offers 120 kinds of sparkling bubbles, wines from all over the world and a full range of spirits in a century-old warehouse in Faubourg Marigny. Bourbon enthusiasts can also enjoy a selection of unique barrels and the shop features a grand piano and Pearl and Deuce, the wine store’s dogs.
The Merry Antoinettes are cheeky and glamorous revelers from the court of Marie Antoinette who have supported Grande Krewe since its inception. Their drink of choice is still champagne.
Kevin Gullage is a NOCAA graduate and a national blues artist.
