LAKE OSWEGO, Ore. ( KOIN ) — The wicked mid-January snow and ice storm that caused so much damage continues to affect businesses in the Portland metro area.
In Lake Oswego, pipes burst in the attic of the Harvest Wine Bar on Westlake Drive, causing most of the drywall ceiling to fall into the shop.

Owner Stephanie Reece said most of the wine bottles were able to be wiped off, cleaned up and were unharmed. But the store itself needs to be demolished, a process that will begin this coming week.
“We’re a restaurant, so that part is not happening,” Reece added. “But we are selling wine because we are a wine retailer.”
Reece said the landlord and the business both have insurance and there was only about 10% breakage of the wine.
