The Best Wine Bars in Portland, Oregon | Eater Portland

"Award-winning sommelier Brent Braun of Castagna busted out his collection of the good stuff when OK Omens opened in the summer of 2018, but he did so with an eye toward affordability. The bright, breezy wine bar and “neo-bistro” offers an astonishing collection of wine-geek bottles at reasonable prices. Summertime sees open-air dining on the outdoor patio lit by overhanging string lights, while in winter, diners retreat indoors to the sleek and stylish plant-filled dining room. Riesling lovers will find OK Omens a hard place to beat (there’s a full section entitled, “Good Lord, I think we need some help drinking all this riesling”), and the by-the-glass menu — which features pairing suggestions and delightfully inventive tasting notes —and knowledgable staff ensure that wine drinkers of all varieties will find something they’ll love." - Zoe Baillargeon
