The Best Wine Bars in Portland, Oregon | Eater Portland
"Grabbing a glass of wine is just the tip of the iceberg for offerings at this elegant wine bar on Mississippi Avenue. Along with by-the-glass pours and a large array of wine flights, diners can also take a Champagne sabering lesson, have a private tarot reading with owner Wei-En Tan, and catch frequent events like live music and pop-ups. Influenced by her childhood growing up on her family’s Bordeaux vineyard, Tan’s wine selections strongly skew French, with a good crop of Oregon bottles and fun one-offs from Old and New World producers. Hoping to create a judgment-free space for others to learn about wine, Tan’s flights are a great way to taste her “Oregon meets the world” menu philosophy, with line-ups like a Willamette Valley pinot noir comparison and “bruts and bubbles” from across Europe." - Zoe Baillargeon
