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.

Every year, this wine has proven to be a Nicholas Wines staple. The newly released 2022 Frenzy Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc is a fabulous value white wine, loaded with green apples, pears and white peaches plus a hint of spice. It’s juicy and fresh, the perfect cocktail hour white. It’s what is referred to as the perfect ‘pool wine’. It’s great paired with just about anything or just enjoyed on its own.

Of course, the Trefethens’ Chardonnay history is well documented. It dates back to the Judgement of Paris and the 1979 Wine World Olympics hosted by the French publication Gault & Millau, where their Chardonnay finished first overall. That pursuit of excellence is still just as strong as ever, as evidenced by the family’s most recent Chardonnay bottling. It’s a 93-point beauty that absolutely dazzles, especially at its incredibly modest price tag.
It’s an electric white Burgundy, with a limestone-laced aromatic profile of green apple, pear and hazelnut. Refined and high-toned, the pure, delicious fruit that is a hallmark of this terrific vintage, finishes long and fresh, with a mile-long mineral streak.
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.
