The Ponzis were one of the original pioneers in Oregon winemaking – and an essential part of building its international legacy.
Bucking all warnings that it was too cold and wet in Oregon to make great wines, Dick and Nancy uprooted their family and took a big chance. Popular opinion said it would be a disaster. But their own research from their time in Burgundy and beyond gave them hope they were onto something. Turns out they were.
In 1974, the Ponzi’s made their first four barrels of Pinot Noir. At the time there were only five bonded wineries in Oregon with a mere 35 acres in total production. They are widely considered one of Oregon’s best wineries – even as the list has grown from 5 wineries to over 800 during their tenure in the Willamette.
But now on their second generation of winemakers, Luisa is only furthering her family’s legacy. The Oregon Wine Press recently declared, “By adding academic knowledge to her unparalleled experience learning from her father, Luisa Ponzi has become one of the most formidable winemakers in the country.” Today’s wine gives you a glimpse at her unmistakable talent.

Love the aromas of fossilized shells and sliced cooked apples. Quince and aniseed, too. Well Perfumed. Full-bodied, yet creamy and compact with a beautiful, long finish of honey, straw and lime. Sustainable.

There has been a change (apparently) in vineyard sources from the previous vintage, which carried the new Laurelwood District AVA. This reserve bears the broader Willamette Valley AVA and includes grapes from a wider mix of sites. It’s loaded with tasty, toasty flavors of nutmeg, toasted hazelnuts, butter cookie and fresh sliced tree fruits. Framed with lime skin and pea vine phenolics, it’s a generous, balanced and thoroughly delicious bottle.

Just 20 cases of this crazy small, rare and elite import managed to find their wine to America, and I scooped up five of them for Nicholas wines. This is a fabulous Cru Sancerre that showcases one of the finest vineyards in Sancerre from the lights-out 2019 vintage in the Loire Valley. It comes from Cul de Beaujeu, one of Chavignol’s most famous vineyards, with an incline of up to 60 degrees! It’s old-vine Sancerre grown on Kimmeridgian clay and limestone with all the vineyard work and harvesting done by hand. It truly represents the creme de la creme.
Year in, year out Château Turcaud produces one of the best white wine values in the world. It’s long been found on Michelin-starred wine lists in Paris and we’ve had it at the restaurant since Day 1. If you’ve ever tried this stunning, classic Bordeaux of Sauvignon Blanc, Semillon, Sauvignon Gris and Muscadelle, then you know why. The new 2022 vintage has arrived and it’s beaming with energy and pure stone fruits. This is a beauty as always.
The Zenato family has built up quite the reputation for delivering exceptional value with their red and whites in Veneto. Their Pinot Grigio is a particularly great value, punching way above its weight class. Delicately scented and soft on the palate, it offers classic citrus and floral notes in a balanced elegant style. It’s smooth and refreshing with a long, pleasant finish. Great with food.

If you’ve never heard of Bisci, let’s start here. Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate called Giuseppe Bisci’s Verdicchio “one of the finest I’ve ever tasted,” and noted that “Verdicchio is one of the joys of Italian oenology that rarely gets the respect it deserves, and few producers do it better than Bisci.” A staple at $85/bottle for both French Laundry and Eleven Madison Park. “Verdicchio is one of the joys of Italian oenology that rarely gets the respect it deserves, and few producers do it better than Bisci.” – The Wine Advocate
