Oregon: Ponzi Vineyards

With respect to all of the Oregon wine pioneers, I refer to the Ponzi's as the "First Family" of the Oregon Wine Industry. They arrived from Northern California in the late-1960's and put their small family to work on a farm outside Portland. Along the way, Dick & Nancy Ponzi founded Ponzi Vineyards, Bridgeport Brewing, and the Dundee Bistro. They passed the winery to their daughters, winemaker Luisa and Maria on the business side. Maria joins us to share her story of growing up in the Ponzi family.
