BOSA's posted glass list gives you 19 choices: three sparkling, six white, three rosé or skin-contact, and seven red. There's more to explore than the familiar grapes.
Try Durin Rossese, listed as a chilled red, at $16. For an Oregon option, Brigadoon Pinot Blanc is $15 and Crowley Pinot Noir is $18. The list also reaches Chile with Lomas de Llahuen Pipeño at $15.
Posted glass prices run $14–$26. Bisci Verdicchio di Matelica is $15; André Clouet Champagne is $26. Ask about pour size—the online menu doesn't specify it.
The Bottom Line
Start with the $14 Durello, then give a less familiar grape a turn. This guide uses the posted glass menu checked in September 2026; confirm availability. It doesn't rate service or cellar conditions.
Westside · Bend · American, Brew Pub
Start with Rock Point if Pinot Noir is your preference, or Greenwing if you want Pinot Grigio. The posted menu keeps six of its seven wines in one price band, but leaves the serving labels unstated. Ask before ordering; this guide is based on the menu, not an onsite tasting.
Westside · Bend · New American
Set the pairing budget first: $50 standard or $100 reserve, added to the $120 tasting menu. Bringing your own? Posted corkage is $40 per 750 ml bottle; confirm any other conditions. These posted terms were checked in September 2026, not assessed through an onsite tasting.
Old Mill District · Bend · Wine Bar
For a Va Piano visit in Bend, head to the Wine & Champagne Bar at 425 SW Powerhouse Drive, Suite 301. Confirm the current wines and pour prices directly, and reserve ahead for groups of six or more. The winery’s subscription page is not a tasting-room menu.

Do not use this Eastside review to plan a current Jackson’s Corner visit. Sunriver Brewing lists its Eastside Pub at the Cushing Drive address; Jackson’s Corner lists 845 NW Delaware Avenue. Confirm the location and current wine menu directly before making plans.

Salute isn't trying to be a wine destination, but it's built a list that actually respects the cuisine it's serving — and in a casual Italian spot in Bend, that puts it well ahead of the competition. Send a friend here, point them at the Vermentino or the Le Volte, and they'll thank you.

Salute isn't trying to be a wine destination, but it's doing the right things: fair prices, smart Italian anchors, and a couple of genuinely exciting picks hiding in the corners. Send a friend here and tell them to order the Lageder by the glass and ask about the Climens.
