Capers Wine Bar

If you want a mimosa, COME HERE. Paid $ 14 for a mimosa at another place and decided one was good judging by the price. Started walking to my gate when I saw their sign for $ 5 mimosas all day. TJ was great even though their bartender was slow. No complaints and I would definitely recommend this to friends.

Chris was fabulous! Enjoyed a special bottle of wine at the bar and he made great suggestions on both wine and food… Super friendly atmosphere, great service and yummy Pinot’s!

Nicest person pouring as we awaited our delayed flight — -bar area is ehh.
Tried a glass of Christopher Michael Pinot Gris, and a Nelm’s Road Woodward large Cab with full bouquet filling mouth. Former was creamy and bright, refreshing, & the latter was luscious with super mature tannins with loooong finish. Pleasantly surprised.
And I dont even usually like cabs.
Pours range from $ 8−12/ glass.
Spotted Tony Soter’s Planet OR Pinot!!! One of my personal faves. Score

I have stopped in to Capers Wine Bar about 20 times over the last three years. The wine selection is always excellent and I am continually amazed that Chris is always working there and always remembers me! I’m a bartender so I generally have high expectations and Chris exceeds them every time. If you go to PDX, directly past security, stop by Capers Wine Bar!

The selection is decent, but the service is far beyond what I had expected for an airport wine bar. I ordered a glass of cabernet, but the server at the counter recommended that the merlot was better, and let me taste it before I ordered it. Far beyond what I have come to expect from any airport business, where the service is bent on getting you out of there as quickly and efficiently as possible (and rightly so).
I highly recommend picking the servers brain prior to placing your order. He did not steer me wrong.

It’s your standard airport wine bar.
It’s got a decent selection, and the winetender was very helpful in suggesting a wine. This is important because I was tired as hell and really didn’t want to make any more decisions besides one glass or two.
I’d like the place more if it were a little more closed off from the entire airport. As it is, it’s part of a Café, and the seating area is open to all the hustle n’ bustle of the airport. It could be more relaxing. People watching can be entertaining, but sometimes you just kinda need a dark place to drink some wine and try to forget about the TSA feeling you up.
