Dave & Sarah Gregory: Oral History Interview

Dave & Sarah Gregory: Oral History Interview

This interview is with Dave and Sarah Gregory of Ora et Labora Wine Shop. In this interview, Dave and Sarah talk about beginning to take an interest in wine, taking educational courses, and eventually opening their own space to make wine more approachable for others.


Dave talks about going to school to study theology and education, and earning several degrees while he was there. After his journey to become a Jesuit priest was cut short, he became a high school teacher in California.


Sarah discusses growing up in Oregon and going to school to be a journalist. She also received her Master’s in Public Administration. She and Dave met on OkCupid and dated long distance for a year before he moved to Oregon.


Together, Dave and Sarah opened Ora et Labora (“Prayer and Work”) in December 2022. With people showing up for both a casual glass and Foundations wine classes, they were pleasantly surprised at how quickly the neighborhood embraced their business.


This interview was conducted by Rich Schmidt at Ora et Labora Wine Shop in Portland on November 19, 2025.
