Where to Eat and Drink on Portland’s Alberta Street
"Wine nerds adore this subterranean bar from the team behind two of Portland’s buzziest labels (Ovum and Golden Cluster). Don’t expect an Oregon-heavy wine list, however: Sitting on a couch perched in a literal cave carved into the wall, visitors choose from glass pours of Georgian orange wine, beautifully executed gamay, and Pacific Northwestern wines made by the owners, among many others. Those looking for a surprise should opt for the Winesman’s Pick, an off-menu selection from Golden Cluster’s Jeff Vejr. The bar’s mulled wine is a nice pick on rainy days. Reservations are recommended." - Rebecca Roland, Brooke Jackson-Glidden, Nathan Williams
