  • Pinotfile Vol 9 Issue 31
    Cabernet is a Bordello, Pinot Noir is a Casino Volume 9, Issue 31 October 10, 2013 David Adelsheim: A “Latecomer” Oregon Wine Pioneer David Adelsheim likes to call himself a “latecomer” when talk turns to the pioneers of Oregon’s modern wine industry. Although Richard Sommer, David Lett, Charles Coury, Dick Erath and Dick Ponzi preceded him by a few years in planting vineyards and establishing wineries in Oregon, David not only founded an iconic Willamette Valley winery, he became a revered figure in Oregon wine after having participated as a respected spokesperson on practically every important issue facing the Oregon wine industry through the years. Despite his prestigious accomplishments, he remains modest and unassuming, with a charming sense of humor, all attributes that bring him much-deserved respect from his colleagues in Oregon. David was uniquely one of the name early Oregon wine pioneers that did not immigrate to Oregon. Although he moved to Portland from Kansas City with his family in 1954, he spent his formative years in Portland. After studying at University of California at Berkeley and in Germany, he received a bachelor’s degree in German literature from Portland State University. David became intrigued with artisan wines after a summer trip to Europe in 1969 with his spouse Ginny, who was a talented sculptor and artist. He soon immersed himself in the literature of winemaking, and dreamed of planting a vineyard in Oregon. In 1971, the Adelsheims had a chance meeting with Dick Erath and Bill Blosser at a May Day party. They directed the couple to seek out a south-facing slope with Jory soil appropriate for viticulture.

  • The Story of Phelps Creek Vineyards by Robert A. Morus--Founder
    The Story of Phelps Creek Vineyards by Robert A. Morus--Founder Growing up in the San Francisco Bay Area embedded familiarity with Napa, Sonoma and Santa Clara Valleys. My family moved to Danville, California in 1964, just when Robert Mondavi's ambition, and Napa's renaissance garnered lavish media attention. As a kid, I read the San Francisco Chronicle's coverage of the nascent wine explosion, noting bottles frequently graced our own and friends’ tables. Even Boy Scout trips often passed through the wine country. When canoeing the Russian River, the troop launched next to a vineyard owned by the Italian Swiss Colony winery. All these experiences combined to float a personal appreciation for wine's romance and the beauty of vineyards. Like my father, I flew in the Air Force and eventually became an airline pilot. A professional pilot's career often enables choosing where you live, even if it a means "commuting" to work somewhere else in the world. Wanting to return west, Portland presented a better basing option in comparison to California after joining Delta. Married and originally flying out of Chicago, my wife and I began a process of researching Oregon (1989), envisioning a slow, gradual process to relocate in a perfect place to raise a family, transfer my base of operation and hopefully plant a vineyard. I drew a radius of 90 miles from PDX airport. Delta recently opened an international base at PDX, and I thought living on and operating a small vineyard, with no more than an hour and 1/2 drive to work once a week, would be ideal; it sounded like a beautiful lifestyle.

  • OVERVIEW OREGON Content Contributed by John Griffin, Imperial Beverage
    WINE OVERVIEW OREGON Content contributed by John Griffin, Imperial Beverage Closely review the syllabus for this wine level to determine just what items require your attention in each of the region/country overview documents. If I were a bunch of Pinot Noir grapes, and I couldn’t speak French, then I would want to live in the Dundee Hills of Oregon’s Willamette Valley. It is widely agreed that outside of the Grand Cru vineyards of France’s Burgundy region that Oregon is probably the best place on earth to cultivate the finicky Pinot Noir grape. Let’s find out why. CLIMATE Oregon’s overall climate can best be described as mild. While it is famous for wet, gray winters, during the summer growing season it is usually sunny and dry. And, most importantly, it is not too hot. This is critical for growing Pinot Noir, which is a relatively thin-skinned grape and cannot thrive in a hot zone. This provides a significant contrast to California where, for too long, Pinot Noir was often planted in micro climates that were way too warm causing the resulting wines to have a stewed tomato flavor, like drinking ketchup. (Yum). The general physics of this are simple: when wine grapes mature too quickly in a hot climate the fructose rises while the acids drop out producing wines that are flabby, soft, unbalanced and often a little too sweet. Typical examples of this are California Chardonnays that taste like pineapple juice or Australian Shiraz that drinks like blackberry syrup. Oregon almost never has this problem.

  • Dick Ponzi Founder
    Dick Ponzi Founder Born the third son of an Italian immigrant couple in 1934, Dick Ponzi was raised in Michigan. Typical to most Italian families, meals were considered sacred. Wine was always served and made at home. Te favors, sensations and values of Dick’s family traditions followed him throughout his life and professional ambitions. Following high school graduation, Dick worked a variety of jobs, including employment with the Ford Motor Company, to support himself through college. He graduated from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, with a Mechanical Engineering degree in 1959. He immediately moved to California where he worked in the aerospace industry as a structural design engineer. Later, he founded Seroc Corporation in Los Gatos, California, and designed and developed equipment to process light-weight, high strength building materials. Dick also held the position of project engineer for a frm that designed and fabricated theme park rides for Disneyland and Disney World. In 1969, he moved to Portland, Oregon and founded Ponzi Vineyards one year later, one of the premier wineries in the state. From the frst vintage in 1974, Dick has set the standards for enological and viticultural innovation. His mechanical engineering background has proven a great asset through his many years of winemaking. He fabricated machinery and winemaking techniques in his cellar that are now commonplace in many wineries across the globe. He planted some of the frst Pinot noir in the Willamette Valley in the late ‘60’s, and some of the frst commercial plantings of Pinot gris in 1978. He has guided plantings of cool-climate varietals throughout the valley since the early 1970s, encouraging others to join him in planting and building a quality wine industry in Oregon.
