Focaccia, wine, and cocktails in a cozy, witchy vibe
"Bread and wine? What is this, church? This unusual wine bar-bakery combo is the result of owner Chanelle Sinclair — who had been doing bread and grilled cheese pop-ups for years — realizing that her favorite wine bar, Maeve, was up for sale. On New Year’s Day, the Fates opened, offering a wide range of beer, wine, and cocktails, plus some vegetable-forward dishes and, arguably the star of the show, focaccia topped with things like miso, apple, and sesame." - Zoe Baillargeon
"A wine bar that doubles as a vegetable-forward (and bread-forward) restaurant; opened on January 1 and pairs wine service with a menu centered on vegetables and house breads." - Harry Cheadle
"Opening in the former Maeve space in Sellwood‑Moreland and slated to debut by late November, Fates Bread and Bottle Co. is the first permanent storefront from founder Chanelle Sinclair, who began baking Dutch‑oven boules in Phoenix in 2020 and became known for jazzing her loaves with add‑ins like rosemary, caramelized onions, and extra‑sharp cheddar. What started as beloved neighborhood bread and pop‑up loaded grilled cheeses — including a childhood‑inspired sandwich with American cheese, sriracha butter, and mayonnaise — has evolved into a wine shop and bar that will pour local and globally sourced wines, sake, beer, and a full cocktail menu alongside bar bites built around crackly focaccia and loaded grilled cheese sandwiches; Sinclair previewed the menu on Maeve’s last day, serving a ramen‑flavored snack mix and four focaccia flavors topped with miso, apple, and sesame, and now plans a chile‑crisp focaccia. Sinclair wants the space to feel like the heart of her supper club — a warm, welcoming “third space” where guests feel like they have a seat at her table — and she’s stocking shelves with local winemakers, leaning into a mythology‑inspired name tied to her personal history, and treating this opening as a joyful, nonnegotiable commitment to serving her community: “It’s my wine bar for fuck’s sake, I want to play.”" - Rebecca Roland
"Owner Chanelle Sinclair has transformed the former Maeve space into a witchy wine bar filled with a properly arcane amount of clutter. Dried flowers, oracle decks, riot grrrl concert posters, and a handsome beechwood library ladder add to the beguiling charm of what could have been just another bourgeoisie bottle shop. Wine is the focus of course, but there are a couple of mixed drinks on the menu, including a nonalcoholic spritz with unexpectedly savory additions of a thyme sprig and olive garnish. Harder pre-batched cocktails are in the works for future menus." - Ben Coleman
