Who we are…Alpacas at Marquam Hill Ranch is an 18 acre ranch in Molalla, Oregon. We are directly in between Molalla and Silverton. We have 80+ Huacaya alpacas. We breed our animals for the fineness of their fiber, with a soft handle and good density. Our goal is to create a long term fineness in all animals that mimics the feel of cashmere or better. Presently more than half our herd is under 21 micron. We have white as well as a variety of other colors of alpacas. There are 22 natural colors of alpacas as defined by the Alpaca Registry. Bill is an AOBA Certified Fleece and Performance Judge. His education helps in the purchases and breeding of our alpacas. In the future we will be holding seminars on fleece evaluations, breeding selection, business plan write ups and fiber arts. If there is a topic you’d like to learn about, we’ll find the instructor and create the class. Or you can just stop by and we would be happy to answer your questions. We have a large fleece room dedicated for presentations and a ranch store for a quick pick up gift for yourself or someone special.Our herd consists of eight studs we either fully own or own in partnership. They are Snowmass Trilogy, Ezekial's Challenger of Marquam Hill, Crescent Moon’s Ezekial, Crescent Moon’s Accoyo Elizario, Accoyo America Kodiak, Nirvana of AMHR, Denver of AMHR and Emerald Cloud's Javelin.We love to talk about these amazing animals. Whether it is a question on how to get started, breeding questions, animal husbandry, the investment aspects (Bill is a retired CPA) or anything else that you might be interested in, please feel free to stop by, give us a call or drop us an email. We look forward to hearing from you!

Pairings Portland is a wine shop, wine bar, and classroom dedicated to a new approach to wine. We offer traditional wines in untraditional ways. Fun and approachability are front and center. For example, what wine pairs to Harry Potter? The bold, easy-to-like Les Douyes Cairanne from L'Oratorie St. Martin. But we're just getting started :) Imagine wines paired to everything from sarcastic to sexy, from Timbers players to Astrological signs. It's all at Portland's weirdest wine shop and bar. We invite you to come in an explore! Of course Pairings is also about the magic of pairing wine and food. We like to think of a glass of wine as one of the ingredients in your dish and we'll help you find the wine that makes your food sing. We offer wine by the glass and bottle, as well as flights, classes, creative events, and custom offerings both at the shop and away. You'll be amazed to discover it's possible for anyone to feel like a pairing genius! A native New Yorker, Jeff Weissler has been loving and selling wine for more than 30 years. While managing Suburban Wines & Spirits in Westchester, NY he discovered that all of the wines that he loved were based in natural practices and a sense of place. Since then he has passionately followed those places that are making beautiful, unique wines. At Parings Portland he brings those wines to you and attempts to help demystify the art of pairing wine with food. Stop by and have a glass or a bottle. We'd love to see you.
