A Virtual Trip to Ponzi Vineyards RSS Feed 5/31/2020 Archives In case you haven’t heard, Willamette Valley AVA in Oregon is an ideal place for growing and producing cool-climate varieties of wine, in particular, its award-winning Pinot Noir, which the May 2020 region is best known for. Other grape varieties that do well here include Pinot Gris, Pinot April 2020 Blanc, Chardonnay and Riesling. March 2020 February 2020 January 2020 December 2019 November 2019 October 2019 September 2019 August 2019 July 2019 June 2019 May 2019 April 2019 March 2019 February 2019 January 2019 December 2018 November 2018 October 2018 September 2018 August 2018 July 2018 June 2018 May 2018 Photo courtesy of Willamette Valley Wineries April 2018 Willamette Valley is located in western Oregon and is Oregon’s largest AVA stretching over 150 March 2018 miles long and 60 miles wide. It borders the Columbia River to the north and runs south to the February 2018 Calapooya Mountains outside Eugene. Willamette Valley has seven appellations within its January 2018 borders and has the largest concentration of wineries and vineyards in Oregon. There are December 2017 approximately 23,524 vineyard acres planted and it is home to 564 wineries. November 2017 October 2017 September 2017 August 2017 July 2017 June 2017 May 2017 April 2017 March 2017 February 2017 January 2017 December 2016 November 2016 October 2016 September 2016 August 2016 July 2016 June 2016 May 2016 April 2016 March 2016 February 2016 January 2016 December 2015 November 2015 October 2015 September 2015 This is a cool-climate, maritime region named after the Willamette River that runs through the August 2015 heart of it. The region is cushioned from Pacific storms on the west by the Coast Range and July 2015 borders the Cascades to the east with a series of hill chains to the north. Willamette Valley June 2015 May 2015 enjoys a long and gentle growing season with warm summers and cool evenings. This diurnal April 2015 temperature variation allows the grapes to slowly develop flavor and complexity while retaining March 2015 their natural acidity. February 2015 January 2015 Many of the region’s vineyards are planted on hills consisting of soil derived from an old December 2014 volcanic and sedimentary seabed. The major soils are marine sedimentary, volcanic and November 2014 windblown loess. Jory, (red volcanic soil) is the most common soil here and runs four to six October 2014 September 2014 feet deep allowing for excellent drainage for these quality wine grapes. August 2014 Ponzi Vineyards July 2014 June 2014 Ponzi Vineyards is one of Oregon’s original winegrowers and will be celebrating its 50th Anniversary this year. It began with a passion for wine and a spirit for adventure that motivated Dick and Nancy Ponzi to purchase 20 acres southwest of Portland in 1970. As founder Dick Ponzi said, “it was about the adventure of doing something we truly believed in.” Categories All 2014 Bordeaux 90+ Cellars Abruzzo Agave Agiorghitiko Airen Alabama Albarino Alejandro Fernandez Alentejo Alentejo Wines Alexander Valley Alicante Bouschet Altaneve Dick and Nancy Ponzi Photo courtesy of Ponzi Vineyards Alto Adige Alvarinho Having moved to Willamette Valley with their young family in the 1960s, they did extensive Amarone research to find an ideal location to make world-class Pinot Noir.

  • Willamette Basin Review Feasibility Study
    US Army Corps of Engineers Portland District Willamette Basin Review Feasibility Study DRAFT Integrated Feasibility Report and Environmental Assessment November 2017 Willamette Basin Review Feasibility Study Executive Summary The Willamette River basin is located entirely within the state of Oregon, beginning south of Cottage Grove, and extending approximately 187 miles to the north where the Willamette River flows into the Columbia River. The basin is more than 11,200 square miles, averages 75 miles in width, and encompasses approximately 12 percent of the total area of the state (Figure ES-1). Within the watershed are most of the state’s population (nearly 70 percent), larger cities, and major industries. The basin also contains some of Oregon’s most productive agricultural lands and supports nationally and regionally important fish and wildlife species. Thirteen of Oregon’s thirty-six counties intersect or lie within the boundary of the Willamette River basin. Through a series of Flood Control Acts the U.S. Congress authorized the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) to construct, operate, and maintain thirteen major dams1 in the Willamette River basin. Collectively, these dams, reservoirs and associated infrastructure are known as the Willamette Valley Project (WVP). With a combined conservation storage capacity of approximately 1,590,000 acre-feet, the WVP is capable of providing important benefits for flood damage reduction, navigation, hydropower, irrigation, municipal and industrial water supply, flow augmentation for pollution abatement and improved conditions for fish and wildlife, and recreation. Feasibility Study History The Willamette Basin Review Feasibility Study began in 1996 to investigate future Willamette River basin water demand.

As soon as our families are settled and time can be spared we must look for another way that avoids the river.” -Lindsay Applegate In 1846 Jesse and Lindsay Applegate and 13 others from near Dallas, Oregon, headed south following old trapper trails into a remote region of Oregon Country. An Umpqua Indian showed them a foot trail that crossed the Calapooya Mountains, then on to Umpqua Valley, Canyon Creek, and the Rogue Valley. They next turned east and went over the Cascade Mountains to the Klamath Basin. The party devised pathways through canyons and mountain passes, connecting the trail south from the Willamette Valley with the existing California Trail to Fort Hall, Idaho. In August 1846, the first emigrants to trek the new southern road left Fort Hall.

  • ON TAP “Drinking Water You Can Trust”
    ON TAP “Drinking Water You Can Trust” Vol. 24 Issue 1 March 1, 2010 2009 YEAR IN REVIEW 2009 was a year of slow growth for Umpqua Basin Water Association, Inc. Our membership grew with the addition of 4 new members. We had 19 new members join the Association but, we lost 15 members. Your Association grew to a total of 3,240 members. CURRENT AND PLANNED SYSTEM UPGRADES In 2009 your Association completed one of its largest projects to date. We replaced the water mainline that was hanging on Browns Bridge with a 950’, 22” HDPE (High Density Polyethylene) line, under the North Umpqua River. This new mainline has a life expectancy that will probably outlast the next two new bridges. ODOT and Douglas County are in the development stages of a new overpass that will be replacing the current Del Rio Rd over pass (exit 129). At this time UBWA is considering where our current line, which is attached to the current over pass, will be located. We are currently working with all the landowners, Douglas County, ODOT and others in this process. THE NORTH UMPQUA RIVER The North Umpqua River is a tributary of the Umpqua River, approximately 100 miles long, in southwestern Oregon in the United States. It drains a scenic and rugged area of the Cascade Range southwest of Eugene, flowing through steep canyons and surrounded by large Douglas fir forests. The North Umpqua River rises in the high Cascades, issuing from Maidu Lake at an elevation of 5,980 feet in the Mount Thielsen Wilderness.

  • Indian Country Welcome To
    Travel Guide To OREGON Indian Country Welcome to OREGON Indian Country he members of Oregon’s nine federally recognized Ttribes and Travel Oregon invite you to explore our diverse cultures in what is today the state of Oregon. Hundreds of centuries before Lewis & Clark laid eyes on the Pacific Ocean, native peoples lived here – they explored; hunted, gathered and fished; passed along the ancestral ways and observed the ancient rites. The many tribes that once called this land home developed distinct lifestyles and traditions that were passed down generation to generation. Today these traditions are still practiced by our people, and visitors have a special opportunity to experience our unique cultures and distinct histories – a rare glimpse of ancient civilizations that have survived since the beginning of time. You’ll also discover that our rich heritage is being honored alongside new enterprises and technologies that will carry our people forward for centuries to come. The following pages highlight a few of the many attractions available on and around our tribal centers. We encourage you to visit our award-winning native museums and heritage centers and to experience our powwows and cultural events. (You can learn more about scheduled powwows at www.traveloregon.com/powwow.) We hope you’ll also take time to appreciate the natural wonders that make Oregon such an enchanting place to visit – the same mountains, coastline, rivers and valleys that have always provided for our people. Few places in the world offer such a diversity of landscapes, wildlife and culture within such a short drive. Many visitors may choose to visit all nine of Oregon’s federally recognized tribes.

  • Detailed Trip Description
    zephyradventures DETAILED TRIP DESCRIPTION OREGON MULTISPORT & WINE ADVENTURE From its rough-and-tumble coastline to volcanic mountains, crystal-clear lakes and high deserts, Oregon offers an unparalleled diversity in landscapes and beauty. What you might not realize is that the state is also a world-class wine region with 17 distinct winegrowing regions and more than 450 wineries producing 72 varieties of grapes (including renowned Pinot Noirs that have won many awards in recent years)! However, Oregon is still in its infancy as far as wine tourism is considered. On this five-day active wine adventure, we visit wine regions ranging from the hip college town of Eugene to the northern Willamette Valley to the Columbia Gorge . by foot, by bicycle, and by canoe. We have created unique vineyard walks, a canoe trip on the beautiful Willamette River, and an exhilarating bike route through the Hood River Valley that brings us down the lower slopes of Mount Hood. Oregon’s wine country is spread over thousands of acres and dominated by small, family run wineries. If you love wine, you’ll be thrilled with all the sipping of local Pinot Noirs, Chardonnays, Pinot Gris, and Rieslings. Each owner, vintner or winemaker we meet has a great story to tell and we will hear many of them. All this makes our wine adventure in Oregon unique and special. Join us and be in the vanguard of active wine tourism! DAILY ITINERARY DAY 1: After assembling our group in Portland after lunch, we’ll travel east and into the Hood River Valley.
