Abstract

This interview is an oral history conducted by Linfield College archivist Rich Schmidt and Linfield College Archives staff Stephanie Hofmann with Moe Momtazi of Maysara Winery. The interview took place at Maysara Winery in McMinnville, Oregon on December 5, 2017.

Moe Momtazi is the owner of Maysara Winery. In this interview, part of the Brooks Winery 20th Anniversary Project, Momtazi discusses the unexpected passing of Jimi Brooks, the founder of Brooks Winery, in September of 2004. Many of Brooks's wine industry friends, including Momtazi, came together to complete Brooks's harvest that year. This interview sheds light on the story of camaraderie in the face of tragedy in the Oregon wine industry.
