Right. California winemakers use all new oak barrels, and I find many of their Chardonnays almost undrinkable. As for the reds, you can blame Robert Parker. Some younger winemakers are trying to correct this, but it'll take time.
Oregon wines hew closer to the classic Burgundian style.
Long story short, you can't get people to buy American wine in place of European wine because they're different styles. They're just not substitutes for one another.
