Deathwatch: Rose City Wine Bar, PDX

Victim: Rose City Wine Bar, Portland airport (PDX)

DOB: January 2005

Parents: Hilton Restaurant Group

Symptoms: Small, handsome wine bar with worthwhile local wines by the bottle and by the glass. Has small plate food; is a part of the casual Rose City Cafe next door. Since August it is on the wrong side of the law–the TSA that is. Dealt potentially fatal blow by the location just outside security. With longer lines and a liquid ban, few are likely to linger or buy vino to go.

Diagnosis: Deathwatch.
