MORE INFORMATION

Quercus Winery is the personal wine label of Michael Beckley, a winemaker based in Amity, Oregon, just south of McMinnville (where the IPNC is held each year). Michael's "day job" is winemaker for a number of wineries as a consultant, and he makes his Harmonia wines at those wineries as well.

Michael and his family moved to Oregon in 1989, and he was determined to get into the wine industry, working as a "cellar rat" at Sokol Blosser for several years. In 1994, he started working at Domaine Drouhin, where he still occasionally helps out. In 2002, Michael moved to Erath as winemaker, then took the opportunity to help new winery Coehlo to start up their wine program. He still works periodically with other North Willamette wineries, as well as making his own wines.


Michael Beckley

Harmonia wines are made in small amounts, from fruit Michael sourced from his contacts in the Willamette Valley. The wines are balanced, well made, and quite appealing, all at very reasonable prices. We're enthusiastic about Michael's winemaking skills and look forward to offering you
