Episode 286: How to turn a pig farm into a world class pinot noir - the story of Beaux Frères
Episode 286
Friday, 10 April, 2026

What is harder, making wine or family? Today we tell the incredible story of Beaux Frères, a pioneer in American Pinot Noir. When Michael G. Etzel and his brother in law Robert Parker jr. (yes, that Robert Parker) found an old pig farm in Oregon, they had a hunch there might be something there. Today Beau Frères Vineyard is a staple of wine collectors and great restaurants, but it wasn't easy and it still isn't.
