Wine all day, wine all night.
Patron Saint is a neighborhood wine shop + bar in the Lower Garden District. We focus on small producers whose wines are prisms of the relationship between humans and nature, and range from classic to experimental. We drink omnivorously and transform our glass list and our shelves every week. We try dozen of new wines in search of what expresses the earth, the season, and our own desires. We also stock a selection of small-production spirits, beer, and groceries, including a library of tinned fish, chocolate, cheese, caviar & more.
Leslie Pariseau created Patron Saint and owns it with her husband Tony Biancosino alongside their sibling restaurant & neighbor St. Pizza. Leslie is a writer, editor, and three-time James Beard nominee. She co-founded PUNCH, has written several books, and holds an MFA in fiction. Tony is a TV and documentary producer and director, and pizza maker. He owns and run the creative production studio Animals & Co. Together they have a daughter Olympia, who runs around their block of Magazine Street like she owns the joint.
