Season 8 - Episode 9 - Mike Etzel & Joe Dobbs

What happens when two legends of Oregon wine sit side by side and tell their stories? Pure magic. 🍷✨

In this week’s episode, we welcome Mike Etzel and Joe Dobbes—two iconic winemakers whose journeys are as inspiring as they are full-circle. Mike, who co-founded the legendary Beaux Frères, has since launched Sequitur, a project that reflects his return to thoughtful, small-scale winemaking. Joe, the founder of Dobbes Family Estate, has stepped into a new chapter with Iterum Wines, embracing the chance to begin again with fresh vision and renewed passion.

Their conversation is an incredible reflection on going from old to new—building, growing, transitioning, and ultimately coming back to the heart of what they love most: crafting wines with soul and purpose.

This interview is packed with laughter, storytelling, and insights that remind us all that sometimes the end of one chapter is just the beginning of something even better. Don’t miss this legendary conversation! 🎙️🍇
