Seattle, Washington
Oregon
native Joe Dobbes began his hands-on wine making education in Germany's
Nahe region and in Burgundy and Alsace in France. After 2 1/2 years in
Europe, Joe headed home to Oregon, and to Elk Cove Winery as
Cellarmaster. Subsequent positions included crafting award-winning wines
at Tualatin Estates, Willamette Valley Vineyards, and Torii Mor.
Striking out on his own in 2002, Joe began building his dream in Dundee,
creating Dobbes Family Estate and Wines By Joe, followed by Jovina in
2005, while also custom crushing for other clients. Our evening will
focus on Dobbes Family Estate wines, his luxury label centered around
Willamette Valley Pinot Noir, Rogue Valley Syrah, Viognier and Grenache
Blanc (Oregon's first). We will also have a bit of one of the state's
signature varietals, Pinot Gris from Wines By Joe. Says Joe: "At Dobbes,
we are passionate about letting the grapes speak. My job is to bring
forth the flavors, the textures, the colors and aromas that the fruit is
eager to share. And in Oregon, we are blessed with some of the best
fruit in the world." Come join us for a taste of Oregon!
Our dinner will be in the private Fireside Room at McCormick & Schmick's Harborside on Seattle's Lake Union, which happens to be a restaurant with Oregon roots. In the 70's, Bill McCormick and Doug Schmick purchased Jake's Famous Crawfish in Portland, refurbishing the 100 year old landmark, which later led them to create McCormick and Schmick's Seafood Restaurants. Our evening's menu:
Spinach & Arugula Salad
Dried Cranberries, Goat Cheese, Meyer Lemon Vinaigrette

Grilled Marinated Flank Steak
Roasted Fingerling Potatoes, Tomato & Basil Salad with Balsamic Reduction
