Jolie Laide Takeover
US$95.00 per person
Apr 3, 2025 only
We’re thrilled to welcome Jolie Laide—the Sonoma-based winery known for their elegant, energetic, and slightly rebellious wines. Winemaker Jenny Schulz will be in the house, pouring never-before-seen-in-Oregon wines and celebrating their official expansion into the Portland market. Jolie Laide is all about minimal intervention, native fermentations, and beautifully expressive wines—think crisp, aromatic whites; fresh, juicy reds; and their cult-favorite Trousseau Gris, which you’ll receive a welcome glass of to kick off the night. Chef Erik will be creating a four-course, family-style menu built around these wines, and you’ll have the chance to order bottles, pairings, and glasses of Jolie Laide wines throughout the evening. $95 per person. Includes 4-course food menu and welcome glass of Trousseau Gris. Price does not include additional beverages or 20% service charge.
