MENU TO BE ANNOUNCED
Discover Laurel Glen Vineyard
Shielded from the ocean fog on the eastern slopes of Sonoma Mountain, Laurel Glen’s vines grow in shallower, rockier soils than their valley floor cousins. These hardier vines produce smaller fruit with a higher ratio of skin to flesh, which delivers more aroma, flavor, and tannin. The result is a more complex and layered wine. Over the years, the vines (determined to be a genetically-unique clone) have been retrained from a sprawling canopy to the more traditional Bordeaux system, called Double Guyot, for more even ripening.
Meet Bettina Sichel
In 2011, Bettina Sichel, a veteran of the California wine industry, became the steward of Laurel Glen Vineyard after purchasing the iconic estate from founder Patrick Campbell in partnership with a small group of wine lovers. During her 30-plus-year career, she has worked with some of the finest producers of Cabernet Sauvignon. In 1998, Sichel helped launch Quintessa and went on to develop its reputation and profile distribution over the next decade as director of sales and marketing. The daughter of Peter M.F. Sichel, the man responsible for making his family’s Blue Nun a household name in America, Bettina is the fifth generation of the Sichel family to work in the wine business.
Meet Executive Chef Bryant Kryck
Executive Chef Bryant Kryck brings more than a decade of culinary leadership and a deep passion for storytelling through food to ROAM. A U.S. Army Military Police Veteran, Bryant pursued his culinary education at Le Cordon Bleu before beginning his career in Austin, Texas. He later spent significant time in Portland, Oregon, where he honed his skills in the city and discovered a lasting love for the craft — one that continues to define his style today.
Bryant’s career has taken him across the country, leading kitchens and re-concepting hotel restaurants in Oregon, Nebraska, New York, Michigan, and Utah. Each stop shaped his approach, blending fine dining discipline with global influences and a respect for regional ingredients. Portland, in particular, served as the foundation of his culinary identity, instilling a deep appreciation for seasonality, local sourcing, and creative expression.
His style reflects both precision and imagination — showcasing Oregon’s bounty while weaving in inspiration from around the world, from chimichurri to miso to horchata. In 2020, Bryant gained national recognition with appearances on Food Network’s Chopped and Guy’s Grocery Games. At ROAM, he brings together his diverse experiences and Pacific Northwest roots to create menus that are approachable yet elevated — food that connects people, tells a story, and celebrates the season.
