Chef Eric, who served as sous chef at the James Beard-awarded Higgins Restaurant, will oversee one of the dinner courses. “That’s why we’re especially excited to collaborate with Dossier, Chef Aaron Dionne and Alex Sokol Blosser to highlight the flavors, ingredients and culinary preparations that collectively define Oregon Wine Country cuisine - while also contributing to the revitalization of downtown Portland.”Ĭhef Aaron Dionne, formerly of Portland’s iconic Higgins Restaurant, draws upon his extensive background in French cuisine - and inspiration from the seasons, as well as ingredients that are raised, harvested and foraged in the region - to create dishes that are elegant, yet creative and approachable.īetter known to some as The WildernessHunters, Eric Bartle and Sara Kundelius are a husband-and-wife chef couple who spent five years traveling seasonally across the US, working as chefs and managing remote lodge properties from Alaska to Wyoming. “The Durant family has always recognized the importance of community and collaboration throughout its 50 years of not only growing grapes in the Dundee Hills, but also working with our neighbors and partners in Portland,” said owner Paul Durant.
Dessert will be a collaboration with Portland-based Ranger Chocolate. The five-course meal will feature Durant Olive Mill olive oils, and will be accompanied by wines selected by Paul Durant of Durant Vineyards and Alex Sokol Blosser of Sokol Blosser Winery. The event will begin in the Broadway Room, where guests can learn more about the history of Durant Vineyards and Sokol Blosser Wines while enjoying oysters and sparkling wine from both wineries. The second installment of Dinners in the City will be held in Dossier’s Bistro Alder restaurant, with a meal curated by Durant’s Culinary Team, Chefs Eric Bartle and Sara Kundelius, and Bistro Alder’s Chef, Aaron Dionne. The series, which features collaborations with downtown Portland hotels, chefs and other partners, brings the signature experiences of Oregon’s famed wine country to diners and wine enthusiasts in the heart of the city.
