Who's drinking Oregon pinot?

Not sure it raises many eyes but I opened a bottle of 2012 Ponzi Tavola that had been given to me by previous dinner guests. Simple sweet and high toned, not bad. But I was happy to serve it to a crowd that was not terribly discerning and it went down quick and easy.

Also some very fine Oregon Chardonnays coming out now, in particular Winderlea's 2012 estate, Cornerstone's 2012 Willamette and Knudsen's 2013 estate. The first two would not be out of place dropped into a Meursault tasting, while the latter reminded me a cross between true Sonoma Coast and a top-flight Pouilly-Fuissé.

A recent bottle of Matello Richard's Cuvee 2012 was quite wonderful.
