BENTLEY'S WINE STEWARD

BRIAN KEMMERLE
Wine Steward Brian Kemmerle brings a collective array of knowledge and experience to Bentley's wine list. Inspired by the wine curriculum during culinary school, he transitioned from the kitchen to the dining room early in his career. "Living in the Pacific Northwest and more specifically in the heart of Oregon's wine country gives me the opportunity to taste some of the very best local wines." Coupled with our Chef's international menu, he has found a local wine to match any country's cuisine. This year, Brian reprised his role as a judge for the 2009 Oregon State Fair's Professional Wine Competition where he tasted, and evaluated over two-hundred local wines. He also had the opportunity to participate in the 2009 Oregon Pinot Camp, an "industry only" event featuring seminars and tastings, hosted by fifty of Oregon's top wineries.
