One of Portland’s Finest Wine Bar Restaurants Will Close Indefinitely - Eater Portland
"Oui Wine Bar, the restaurant within the winery incubator Southeast Wine Collective, will go on indefinite hiatus Sept. 12. The restaurant reopened to onsite diners in June, but with wine production beginning in the winery space and the winter months around the corner, co-owner Thomas Monroe says it’s 'not only irresponsible, but impossible' to continue operations with solely indoor dining. The team will run private tastings in the wine bar space, and the restaurant’s celebrated chef, Althea Grey Potter, will focus on a salad dressing company, Dress Up Salads. 'Plans for restaurant service beyond the harvest period are undetermined at this time and will greatly be influenced by the state of the COVID-19 pandemic,' a press release reads." - Brooke Jackson-Glidden
