Portland, Ore.
April 2018
Six-time James Beard Award-nominated chef Cathy Whims and partner David West have opened an innovative new wine bar next door to their highly-acclaimed Italian restaurant Nostrana. While Nostrana will continue its focus on regional Italian wines and Oregon favorites, wine and spirits director Austin Bridges (former wine director at DOC in Portland) has been brought in to expand the focus at Enoteca Nostrana to Europe, where wines hailing from Italy, France, Germany and Spain will share the spotlight with select American wines in the custom, two-story glass wine cellar designed to hold 2,000 to 3,000 bottles. Devon Chase will oversee the menu, which features playful “dress-your-own” and “choose-your-own” dishes.
