Quady North Winery of Jacksonville, Oregon, was founded in 2006 by husband-and-wife team Herb and Meloney Quady. A talented second-generation winemaker, Herb and his team specialize in small-lot, single-vineyard wines and blends from estate-grown and vineyard-sourced grapes. Three of our favorite Quady North wines are their silky-smooth Syrah, dry Rosé, and Pistoleta, their signature white blend.

Matt Van Wyk and brothers Brian and Doug Coombs are wild about making wild and natural barrel-aged beers. Their Alesong Brewing & Blending in Eugene is a testament to their patient, intentional and complex beers, which are fermented and matured in retired French oak wine barrels or retired spirits barrels. Then they’re mixed with cultures, often even with fresh fruits and herbs, to add more depth of flavor. “Alesong Brewing & Blending exists to elevate the way beer is perceived and experienced,” says Matt, who was a former colleague of Brian’s at Oakshire Brewing when they joined Doug, a wine industry veteran, to found Alesong in 2015. “Our goal is to provide a great beer for any occasion, but especially for a celebration or holiday dinner.” Some of the many beers Alesong produces include Market Paloma, a collaboration with Market of Choice that is inspired by the tart, citrusy flavors of the paloma cocktail.
