Lagarde's Fine Wine and Spirits 128 Blaize Avenue, Bay St. Louis, MS 39520

"Best Little Wine shop in the Gulf Coast Region! Alan, the owner, is very knowledgeable of his wines. Tell him what you’re looking for, what you want to pair it with and he knows exactly the perfect match. If you’ve got a current favorite wine, he will show you comparable wines and explain the reason this or that is better than what you were familiar with; often for less than what your original favorite wine cost. Same with the Whiskey’s he has; thanks to Alan, I now have a new favorite Elijah Craig Toasted Barrel! It’s worth a stop in, if for no other reason than to talk to Alan… but buy something he recommends and you won’t be disappointed."

"Listen folks, this place is literally the best place in Bay St. Louis. Alan is kind, friendly, knowledgeable, honest, and fair! (Scalpers steer clear! He can spot you from a mile away I'm sure.) Not only is he the guy to see if you're looking for help with picking out a wine, but he knows how to help you pick something out with just based off taste descriptions. Looking to get into bourbon, or already into bourbon? Well he's got a phenomenal stock of hard to find (and sometimes allocations) or something you've not seen before. Looking for a hard to find spirit? Alan will try his hardest to find it for you. Months ago I asked if he could get Aquavit. Walk in today and he's got the exact brand I'm looking for! I could sing his praises all day, but you just need to pay him a visit yourself and buy something from him because he's pretty cool."

"Easily the best stocked wine and bourbon in the Bay / Pass with very knowledgeable owner on site to help. It’s not on your way home, but it’s worth the small detour to buy something special, or to buy your Jim Beam and have Alan tell you why that’s not such a bad choice anyway. Thanks Alan"

"Bay St. Louis is lucky to have this new gem of a fine wine and liquor store. The old depot building provides the perfect storefront combined with the extensive knowledge of wine and spirits provided by the owner Alan. We visited yesterday and found Alan to have the nicest selection of bourbon, wines and tequila of any liquor store in the Bay or Pass. Having also grown up in the area, we enjoyed visiting with Alan while we shopped. If you like charming liquor stores with owners full of knowledge, this is a must visit in Bay St. Louis!"

"Alan is very knowledgeable, and he has quite a selection of wines that are very reasonably priced. I've been looking for a particular dessert wine for several years, but to no avail. I asked Alan and it was in my hands in three seconds. No joke. The wines were very reasonably priced as well. I'm very excited about this new addition to the depot district. Wishing them the best!"
