About the winemaker
The Beaux Frères story began in 1986 when Michael G. Etzel, then a wine salesman in Colorado Springs, embarked on a road trip to Oregon with his young family after reading an enticing review of an ‘83 Pinot Noir from the Willamette Valley. He found a unique property and bought this with help of his sister and brother in law Robert Parker. They moved to the farm the following summer, three little boys in tow, and Michael began his focused pursuit as a vineyard manager by planting only Pinot Noir and slowly transforming the farm into their jewel. Nowadays the farm is run by a team of professionals led by the middle son Michael D Etzel.
