Quady North

What Quady North does

Quady North is a privately held, family-owned estate vineyard and winery founded in 2006 by Herb Quady and his family in Applegate Valley AVA, Oregon, with roots in the family wine business dating to 1975. The 100-acre estate produces over thirty wines inspired by the Rhone and Loire Valleys, including the signature Pistoleta white blend, Rose' GSM, red GSM, Syrah 4-2,A, La Battalla Loire red blend, Bomba Grenache, and the heritage Layne Vineyard series (Chardonnay, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Brut Sparkling, Late Harvest Riesling, Vermentino). Winemaking emphasizes minimum-intervention methods: hand harvesting, native yeast fermentation, partial whole clusters, and aging in French Oak barrels of various cooperages.

The business model is direct-to-consumer centric, anchored by an estate tasting room (open Wednesday-Monday, $10 tasting fee refundable on two-bottle purchase), the multi-tier Underground wine club with recurring three-times-per-year shipments and monthly Boxer Club and Q-List tiers, and an e-commerce webstore shipping to 38 states. Pricing spans entry-level bag-in-box formats ($75-$105 regular) through standard releases and premium single-vineyard Layne Vineyard library wines, with a 20% member discount. Wholesale to restaurants and wine bars provides a secondary channel, supported by regional event participation (Applegate Valley Uncorked, Savor Southern Oregon, Rhone Rangers, Method Oregon). The estate is LIVE sustainable certified, with regenerative farming, pollinator gardens, and Salmon Safe practices; sustainability extends to packaging via Revino reusable bottles, lighter-weight glass, and bag-in-box formats.
