There are a lot of wine bars in the Portland area, and to me they all seem about the same. I was very surprised when I walked into ""Thirst."" It has a very nice atmosphere, and the wine list is amazing. I loved to look at all the regional wines, and the staff was very knowledgeable. I had a ""pizzette"" that was so good. If you are into different cheeses with your wine, they have a wide selection of unique cheeses. If you thought like me that the ""wine bar"" thing in Portland was over-rated, think again after a trip to Thirst.
Pros: regional wines, great food, unique cheese
