Hasta Que Olvidemos is now simply Olvi.
“The reason for the change is probably pretty obvious: no one could pronounce or remember the original name,” Brian Trottier told the Source. “We knew it would be a mouthful when we first opened but we hoped that, in time, it would catch on. We were wrong. Even our most frequent regulars just call it “the oyster bar, or the wine bar on Galveston.” Trottier, who owns Olvi along with his wife Ashley, opened the wine bar on NW Galveston Avenue in Bend last July.
Trottier says the wine they serve is made exclusively for them, but they also serve other beverages including beer, champagne and vermouths. Olvi’s website says the wine is created in small batches in Napa by winemaker Tim Colla. The bar also serves shuck oysters and other small plates. The cozy spot is winterized with walls wrapping around the porch to create heated cabins and nooks. Trottier says business is steady as more and more people discover them. They are planning future food pop-ups and meet-the-winemaker events. The only hiccup appears to be the name.
“Hasta Que Olvidemos in Spanish means “until we forget,” he says. “The irony hasn’t been lost on us that no one could remember that.”
