Troon Vineyard has been producing wines since 1972 in the Applegate Valley, situated in the pristine Siskiyou Mountains about 20 miles north of the California border and about 60 miles east of the Pacific Ocean. That mix of warm Californian and cool ocean air influences are exactly what balances the natural wines that Troon makes, with no additives, using an intentionally diverse, sustainable farming system. Recently certified as a regenerative organic and biodynamic farm, Troon Vineyard approaches its winemaking minimally, letting the grapes speak for themselves. The results are beautiful, colorful wines that brim with the sense of place that’s Troon Vineyard.

For those of us who must stick to the path of gluten-free foods and drink, even when we are wanting to enjoy a delicious, well-crafted beer, Bierly Brewing of McMinnville has a lineup that is all gluten-free, made in a dedicated gluten-free facility. Owners John Paul “JP” and Amanda Bierly craft their brews using traditional styles, making Felix Pilsner, Lucky IPA, Rendezvous Double IPA, Baker Street Porter, Blackbird Stout, and a variety of seasonals, all of which are available at all Market of Choice locations. Family-owned since 2016, Bierly Brewing has its roots in JP’s home brewing with gluten-free ingredients as far back as 2006. He wasn’t diagnosed with gluten intolerance, or celiac disease, until 2010, but by then he was well on his way in understanding the right ingredients to produce Bierly’s gluten-free beers. Following an internship with Heater Allen Brewing in McMinnville, JP launched Bierly Brewing, first inside the Eats & Treats Café in Philomath, then moving to McMinnville in 2018. That’s when Amanda came on board as a business partner and the tasting room chef.
