Origins & Pairings
September 28, 2025 | 12:00-2:00 PM
Please join us for Origins & Pairings, a sublime exploration of wine and food pairing at its most imaginative. Our friend and culinary guide, Chef Christian Ephrem, has taken up the challenge of creating wildly unexpected food and wine combinations. Chef Christian’s menu blends international techniques with ingredients that sparkle and cross culinary borders. He himself has traveled to more than 40 countries in search of flavor and inspiration.
Each course is paired with wines from Roserock, Domaine Drouhin Oregon, and Maison Joseph Drouhin. Chef Christian will share the story behind each dish, followed by a conversation about the pairing—why it works, and what it reveals. And to finish, we go into the library for the 2021 Cuvée Pinot Noir Louise & 2015 Pinot Noir Laurène, a perfect way to end a lovely lunch experience.
Rooted in place. Inspired by travel. Designed to spark your palate.

Meet Janelle and Christian Ephrem!
In 2017, the couple took a year off to travel the world in order to experience cultures and cuisines from around the globe. Traveling to 17 countries across the Americas, Northern Africa, and Southeast Asia helped build upon the couple’s strong foundation of skills and techniques and allowed them to gather perspective about each country’s footprint on the global culinary landscape. By engaging in hands on training from amateur and professional chefs from around the world, they not only gained an advanced skill set, but most importantly an invaluable understanding of the tradition, emotion, and customs that compose each country’s unique fare. So after a year of travels, there is one place that felt like home: The Pacific Northwest. With its abundance of picturesque landscapes and local ingredients, the couple couldn’t think of a better place to put down roots and grow their own cuisine.
