Portland Prime's claim to fame is its beef. Each highly marbled piece of USDA Prime beef is aged for 28 days to achieve maximum flavorization before it’s cooked. Wood-fired ovens sear the juices, and locally sourced ingredients enrich every dish, including seasonal desserts. We will enjoy a 3 course meal here.

The 1999 vintage in Cote de Nuits is rated 7 out of a possible 7 for red wines by the International Wine and Food Society. And Domaine Michel Gros in Vosne Romanee is one of the best vintners in Burgundy.

 
It was in 1830 that the Gros family set up in Vosne-Romanée. Today, Michel Gros, sixth generation of this dynasty of winemakers, continues and develops the work undertaken by his ancestors. Passionate but also very rigorous, Michel Gros brings constant care to the development of his wines, by mastering all the stages of production, from vine through to bottling. Modest and unassuming, he expresses himself through his wines: generous, fine, elegant, of reliable and even quality. We invite you to discover this universe of hard work and exigency, but also of sharing and passion.

Doug Tunnell, owner/winemaker for Brick House Vineyards, spent 17 years as a foreign correspondent for CBS television news before returning to his native Oregon to become one of our preeminent winemakers. 1n 1990 he bought 40 acres on the Chehalem Ridge.  We are tasting a magnum of his 1999 Les Dijonnais Pinot Noir for comparison with magnums of red Burgundies from the same vintage.

After dinner, retire to the lounge and enjoy music of the legendary former Motown Music jazz drummer Mel Brown and the Mel Brown Trio. Mel Brown has played with the Temptations, Smokey Robinson, The Supremes, Diana Ross, Pat Boone and many more.
