Arroyo Vino Winemaker Dinner – Beaux Fréres with Mike Etzel, Jr.

We are pleased to welcome Mike Etzel, Jr. from Beaux Frères winery in Willamette Valley, OR. Mr. Etzel is the winemaker to be at Beaux Frères, taking over for his father who started the winery in 1986 with his brother-in-law, Robert Parker, Jr. (yes, that Robert Parker). Consistently recognized as one of the best producers in OR, Beaux Frères produces sublime Pinot Noir. In this dinner we’ll taste their first ever bottling of Chardonnay and their Pinot that was Wine Spectator’s #3 wine of 2016. This is an incredible opportunity to taste some of the best Pinot Noir from OR, for a incredible price!
