00 Wines Dinner at l’abeille with Chris and Kathryn Hermann Thursday, February 26, 2026

December 29, 2025

l’abeille welcomes husband-and-wife team Chris and Kathryn Hermann, the founder of one of Oregon’s most coveted cult producers for an intimate evening devoted to the singular world of 00 Wines.

Described by Decanter’s Charles Curtis MW as “reminding many of the wines of Coche-Dury,” 00 Wines stands at the intersection of Burgundy’s most revered traditions and the expressive terroir of Oregon’s Willamette Valley. Founded by husband-and-wife team Chris and Kathryn Hermann, the domaine is celebrated for its radical, old-world approach to Chardonnay—an esoteric Burgundian method known as “Black Chardonnay,” in which the grape is treated more like a red wine. The result: extraordinary texture, depth, and aromatic complexity, with each bottle revealing its vineyard and vintage with crystalline clarity.

Working with legendary sites such as Seven Springs, Shea, Hyland, and Chehalem Mountain, the Hermanns also produce microscopic quantities from Grand Cru and Premier Cru vineyards in Burgundy and Champagne, applying the same philosophy across continents.

Chris and Kathryn will join us in person for this rare 14-guest dinner, guiding you through their wines alongside a multi-course tasting menu by Chef Mitsunobu Nagae—crafted to echo the precision, nuance, and quiet power of these remarkable bottles.

An evening for collectors, Burgundy lovers, and those drawn to the poetry of terroir. Champagne reception starts at 7pm! Seats are extremely limited.
