Wine Spectator reviews Oregon Pinot Noir (and others)

[wondersofwine]

I have to agree with some of WS choices on this one. They liked Ponzi, Torii Mor and Argyle, all of which I like and St. Innocent which Bucko likes. (The first St. Innocent Pinot I tried was too young but I've since tasted another one that I thought was quite well made.) I highlighted a bunch more to look for that I haven't tried yet (keep hearing recommendations for wines of Patricia Green). WS also liked Ponzi Pinot Gris but that's not a varietal I really like. I prefered their Pinot Blanc which isn't rated in the WS issue. Interesting article on Carlton Studio also. Eric Hamacher was one of the forces behind this shared winery facility and he is married to Luisa Ponzi, daughter of Nancy and Dick Ponzi. All winemakers.
I met Nancy and Dick Ponzi at the Triangle Wine Fest in 2003.
