Best Bars à Vins in America - AFAR
"When Dana Frank opened Bar Norman in wine haven Oregon in July 2018, she knew exactly what she was trying to create above all else: a bar. “My ultimate goal was to open a bar, with a bar’s vibe—energetic, vibrant, and lively—that happened to be about wine, not cocktails or beer,” she says. “We only use one type of glass. We don’t open bottles tableside.” The result is a casual and lively space, but with a serious, regularly changing, by-the-glass list of 30 to 35 natural wines. Sip them alongside a selection of Japanese snacks from local Japanese convenience store Giraffe—“Salty, umami snacks are so good with natural wine!” Frank says—and enjoy the diverse, decidedly bumping soundtrack." - Lauren Sloss
