It would be better to say that the Willamette Valley

is an extension of Burgundy; the climates of Eastern and Southern Oregon
are nothing like that of Burgundy. Southern Oregon produces some decent,
but not outstanding Cabernet.

Wineries in the dry, rolling hills on both sides of the Columbian River,
at the eastern end of the Columbia River Gorge make some really good
Cabernet (e.g. Leonetti Cellar, in Washington), but forget trying to
find any in a shop.

'Hazelnuts' is an effete, Eastern marketing name for what are really
filberts.
