Bartender’s choice: “Your mouth is also a dump bucket!”With the success of her Beaverton store, the Wine Cellar, Erin-Marie Palmer was able to remodel this 5,000-square-foot space using recycled materials only (the floors of the Vatican classroom are from an old Jack Daniel's distillery; the room itself is a converted walk-in freezer) to create a three-part storefront: wine bar, classroom and game room. Most anything from the shelves—many are organic North American wines—can be poured by the glass, and the game room runs like a co-op—bring your own dinner if you like, just clean up after yourself. Otherwise, Ding Dongs and Planters nuts (as well as exotic cheeses and candies) are available to complement your chosen varietal. GAMES, FOOD/DRINK SPECIALS, SMOKE-FREE. (JM)
