Jim Meehan’s nearly two decades of tweaking his Rose spec have resulted in this, his fourth major version, which he serves at Takibi in Portland, Oregon. The local cherry eau de vie, made with Rainier cherries and matsutake mushrooms, and the red currant preserves work in concert to reflect a sense of place.
