Now, see my list and try for an Oregon example.
The climate in Oregon, of course, is quite different from that of Bougogne. The Pacific acts quite differently, with steady rain for 7 months of the year, cool temperatures, followed by very good heat and almost absolute drought to finish up the final 4-5 months. The trick is to pick immediately after the first "serious" rain hits, usually in September.
When last in Paris (for our 3-wk. honeymoon) we consumed pretty much only French bourgogne. I was quite disappointed. Several years previously, I had travelled from one end of B to the other. Getting to know the folks at different wineries helped immensely: I got excellent French pinots I could afford. Your wines seem to take a LOT longer to lose the "sulphuric" effect.
Anyhow, forget CA and try OR.
