Vineyards
Ponzi Vineyards is a pioneer Oregon winery founded in 1970 by Dick and Nancy Ponzi. The Northern Willamette Valley winery is now under second generation management of their children, Michel, Anna-Maria and Luisa.
Ponzi now collaborates with his winemaker daughter, Luisa, who was awarded a degree in Oenology and Viticulture from the CFPPA in Beaune, France. Her formal Burgundian education brings the latest techniques from Europe to Ponzi winemaking. She has a unique perspective incorporating her love of Burgundy with the opportunity to explore and innovate in Oregon, unbound by tradition.
In 1988, Dick Ponzi was recognized as one of the world’s finest winemakers, one of only three Americans so distinguished by Robert Parker, Jr., of The Wine Advocate:
