Region	Oregon
Country	United States of America
Climate and soil	The climate is influenced by the presence of the Pacific Ocean, even if its effects are less tangible in the most eastern territories. Generally the climate is temperate, although extreme weather conditions can occur. Rainfall varies greatly from area to area, ranging from a minimum of 20 cm of rain per year to some points of the plateau to the east, with maximum values of about 500 cm on certain sides of the westerner mountain ranges. Oregon is often associated with the idea of a wet and humid state, but this is essentially true of the westernmost part of the state, while the central part, and even more the eastern part, have characteristics of opposite precipitation.
History	In Oregon in 1854 the first European vines were planted. After a period of decline, like the one that had hit California, viticulture took on new impetus in the 1960s. The Davis experts began experimenting with Pinot Noir and the Californian winemakers, Bill Fuller and Richard Sommer, settled in this area. Another pioneer, enthusiastic about Pinot Noir, was David Lett, who was not scared of the risks of spring or autumn rains, and then bought a vineyard, to which he gave the name of Eyrie. The great success of the Pinot Noir wines of Oregon came with the Gault Millau "Wine Olympics" in Paris in 1979, where Eyrie Vineyards Pinot Noir '75, came in third place. It was on this occasion, that Robert Drouhin, realized the potential of Oregon, and bought, in the Willamette Valley, his company, Domaine Drouhin Oregon, which is now directed by his daughter Veronique.
