Oregon

[wondersofwine]

Welcome to the board. Hope you will return often. Strasbourg is a beautiful city. I visited there several times while living in Germany staying in Hotel Rohan right by the Cathedral.
I personally think that wineries such as Lange, Torii Mor and Ponzi price their wines fairly (except for the Ponzi Pinot Noir Reserve) but others such as Archery Summit and Domaine Drouhin Oregon are overpriced.
I enjoy many Oregon Pinot Noirs and also some Pinot Blancs and Arneis.
Argyle (now owned by an Australian firm, Petaluma) produced an interesting limited production of simulated ice wine from Pinot Noir grapes. They picked very ripe Pinot Noir grapes and froze them at -8 degrees to produced a very sweet "ice wine."
I hope others will chime in with their take on Oregon wines.
