Kann x Brooks Wine

A seated dinner in the Kann Cellar Series

Kann x Brooks Wine is structured as an intimate seated wine dinner and guided tasting, not a walkaround tasting or standard restaurant service. It belongs to the ongoing Kann Cellar Series, with Kann hosting the dinner at its Portland restaurant. The format centers the meal and the wine tasting together, giving the event a defined pairing structure rather than a general by-the-glass wine feature.

The participating winery is Brooks Winery, identified in the event description as being from the Eola-Amity Hills. Brooks Winery is also listed as a featured winery in Amity, while Kann is listed as the Portland restaurant venue. Those roles make the collaboration straightforward: Kann hosts the dinner, and Brooks Winery provides the featured wine focus.

Riesling, Pinot Noir, and the menu pairing

The featured wines are Brooks Winery Riesling and Pinot Noir. The dinner pairs those wines with Haitian-inspired spices, and the broader program description describes a Haitian-inspired tasting menu prepared by the Kann culinary team. The useful planning point is the pairing itself: the wine selection is named, the food direction is named, and both are presented as part of the same guided dinner.

Two people are specifically associated with the event materials: Gregory Gourdet, Chef and Founder of Kann, and Janie Brooks Heuck, Managing Director and Representative of Brooks Winery. The available details identify their roles, but do not add a separate speaking schedule, course list, or pour-by-pour lineup.

Where the dinner is held

The dinner is held at Kann, a restaurant in Portland, Oregon. The listed address is 548 SE Ash St, Portland, OR 97214.
