Jacksonville, Oregon
Just across the border from California, this old gold-rush town is getting its second wind from liquid gold. With 17 wineries in the surrounding Applegate Valley, and a climate that’s ripe for growing multiple types of grapes, Jacksonville is a refuge from the tourist whirl of Napa. Herb Quady is among the residents integral to the burgeoning scene. Quady, whose father, Andrew, produces dessert wines at Quady Winery in Madera, Calif., opened the Quady North tasting room in April (255 California St., quadynorth.com). “There isn’t anyplace in California that’s nearly as cute,” Quady explains of his move. “We’re all about the bucolic southern Oregon life.” The best way to tap in is at South Stage Cellars, which stocks bottles from nine area wineries (125 S. 3rd St., southstagecellars.com). The Garden Bistro at the five-room McCully House Inn & Cottages showcases local growers of a different sort, with food products from 27 area purveyors, including cheese from the goats at nearby Pholia Farm (240 E. California St., mccullyhouseinn.com, rooms from $135). The lifestyle drew Constance and David Jesser, a chef and a commodities trader, respectively, from Sonoma five years ago to open Jacksonville Mercantile, where the shelves are filled with provisions like black-truffle-roasted almonds, meant to pair perfectly with a bottle of Quady North viognier (120 E. California St., jacksonvillemercantile.com). —Jason Cohen

My Sister’s Closet is a not-for-profit organization designed to provide professional attire to both women and men entering or re-entering the work force. Women referred by temp agencies, colleges, university or potential employer can pick up two business outfits which are appropriate for job interview or work attire.
My Sister’s Closet is collecting clothing of all sizes and is looking for donations of gently used business attire, shoes and accessories of all sizes. Donated clothing can be dropped off at Keller Williams Realty S.O. at 1025 Court St. in Medford. Clothing that needs to be dry cleaned prior to drop-off may be taken to Martinizing Dry Cleaning in the Blue Sky Plaza, who are kind enough to donate free dry cleaning.
