"Pressed to pick one example, I’ll refer you to a house favorite at E&R Wines, the Analemma Blanc de Noirs. This wine hails from Oregon’s Columbia River Gorge, and at $70 can stand dollar for dollar alongside fine Champagnes of more prestigious providence." - Jordan Michelman
"You say “underground hygge,” I say “hobbit hole.” Look at this place! The attention to detail is incredible: the iconic circular green door; reclaimed-wood sink and chessboard; wooden chandeliers and lanterns hanging from barrel ceilings, setting a warm glow; and a woodworking desk with tools (!). Sure, it’s tiny—some say cozy—at 288 square feet, but the hilltop views of the Columbia River Gorge are expansive. Makes me want to settle in with a pipe next to my own Gandalf and while the day away." - Lyndsey Matthews
