I Fully Endorse Tipsy Wine Shopping at Bar Norman | Bon Appétit

"The last time I was in Portland, Oregon, I walked into Bar Norman on a mission: to pick out a bottle or two of easy-drinking gamay for a friend’s dinner party. But the magical thing about natural wine hero Dana Frank’s takeaway shop-cum-bar is that you can’t not sit at the bar when you’re checking out. Which also means you can’t not see the list of 30-plus wines by the glass on offer. Which, of course, also means, well, whaddya know, you do have time for a splash (or two, or three) of that Loire pet-nat that you weren’t initially planning on buying a bottle of—but, of course, you are now." - ByAmiel Stanek
