It was in the winter of 1992 that I first pulled up Mike Etzel's steep and scrabbly driveway. He'd released his first Beaux Freres Pinot noirs and I wanted them for my wine shop. The web was yet to come, Oregon was considered an obscure wine region producing more duds than winners, and not a fancy restaurant or tour van was to be seen. Ribbon Ridge was a road, not an appellation, and the chicken farmer down the road thought Mike was crazy to grow grapes.
I've sold every vintage of Mike's wines since that first fateful visit. Put them in our wine club, tasted each vintage numerous times, followed their development in the cellar. Admired Mike's commitment to a longterm vision of what his winery could become, allowing the vines to mature, the wines to age, and his knowledge of winemaking to grow. - Jean
