Wine Tasting: Burgundy vs. Willamette��

3:30–4:30pm | The American Club® Bay de Noc

Presenter:��Michael Pare and Bill Gardner, French and American Portfolio Managers Left Bank Wine + Spirits

With nearly two millennia of viticulture behind it, Burgundy stands as the spiritual home and global benchmark for pinot noir and chardonnay. Nowhere is the French concept
of terroir more rigorously codified—or more eloquently expressed—than in its patchwork of storied vineyards, which produce some of the world’s most profound, coveted, and collectible wines. Enter Willamette Valley, the ambitious newcomer that has rapidly earned international acclaim. The modern era began in 1965, when David Lett of
The Eyrie Vineyard planted pinot noir grapes in the Dundee Hills, betting that Oregon could rival the great wines of France. This tasting is a head-to-head showdown. You’ll taste three benchmark pinot noirs from each region—six extraordinary wines, one ultimate question: Who wears the crown?

Christian Damiano, Director of Fine Dining & Sommelier – The Bartolotta Restaurants

An evening of pure indulgence awaits. Join Harbor House executive chef Michael Genre for an intimate four-course dinner celebrating the finest gifts the sea has to offer, with each course perfectly accompanied by a wine selected by certified sommelier Christian Damiano. Chef Michael's mastery of fine seafood, built over more than a decade with The Bartolotta Restaurants, meets Christian Damiano's sommelier precision in a collaboration that explores the remarkable conversation between ocean and vine. Each pairing is chosen to draw out the depth, texture, and nuance that only the finest seafood and wine, united with intention, can produce. This is the rare evening where kitchen and cellar are in perfect dialogue, and every course reveals something new. A pairing of this caliber, brought together at 91Ӱ�� Food & Wine just once a year, is not an evening to let pass

Presenters:��Trentin Wenninger, Chef de Cuisine – Immigrant Restaurant, 91Ӱ��
Chris Berg, Owner, Winegrower, & Winemaker – Roots Wine Co.

Chris Berg, one of Oregon’s most sought-after small producers, returns to his roots and home state of Wisconsin as he reunites and collaborates with friend Joshua Wolter, manager of food and beverage operations at The American Club, and the culinary team at The Immigrant Restaurant to create a menu highlighting the terroir-driven flavors of Chris’ beloved wines as well as seasonal flavors. Chris produces pinot noirs under his Roots label, including his reserve-label Racine as well as Sheboygandy, which are nods to his Wisconsin beginnings. Enjoy wines from across his portfolio, pulled from the caves beneath Our Lady of Guadalupe Trappist Abbey in Carlton, Oregon, used to store and age wines for Oregon’s best producers. Chris will engage each table personally to talk about wine growing, production, and other general levity. This promises to be an incredibly fun, relaxed, and entertaining experience.
