Pinot noir smackdown: Oregon vs. California

Oregonians famously don't want you to move there, but they don't mind a visit — unless you're Californian. Then don't bother, please, and thank you. Regional dislikes are nothing new: Connecticut people loathe New Yorkers (especially those behind the wheel); Texans have legions of detractors across the South; and Wisconsin residents are dismissed as cheese heads by those in Illinois.
