February 21
The Heathman Restaurant and Bar is pleased to be hosting a series of wine dinners that feature the ultimate pairing: top Oregon wineries vs. the celebrated wines of the old world. On February 21, enjoy a dinner with Evening Land Vineyards & Domaine Dominique Lafon. Evening Land Vineyards has become the hottest new kid in Oregon’s blossoming wine scene. Starting with the procurement of the legendary Seven Springs Vineyard located in the Eola Amity Hills from the 2007 harvest onward and putting an amazing amount of time and energy into the vineyard to improve the health and fruit quality of this famous site. From farming the vineyard with amazing care to re-trellising and planting new blocks, the Seven Springs vineyard has never been so brilliant, and the wines that winemaker Isabelle Mugnier has created reflects this amazing terroir. Then add Dominique Lafon, one of the most respected and legendary winemakers in the world. Not only has Evening Land brought him in to share his 25 years of experience in one of Burgundy’s top domains, but through this relationship has also launched his very own label, Domaine Dominique Lafon, producing under 2000 cases a year!
