Michel Ponzi, co-owner of Ponzi Vineyards, one of Oregon's pioneering wineries, has spent his entire life building a hobby business into an international company. Born in Los Gatos, California, Michel moved to Oregon as a young boy, at the age of six when his parents left their busy life in San Francisco, seeking a simpler one.
Michel and his wife, Rebecca, have set out on a similar venture. In the summer of 2012 they returned to Michel's family roots in Italy. They now reside in Le Marche, not far from Abruzzo where Michel's grandparents were born and raised.
