Pride, pours, and Sunset at John Ash

Hello Friends,

Brad here.

I'm excited to share that Mercury Wines is partnering with John Ash and Vinarosa for a special evening celebrating Pride in Sonoma Wine Country.

Join us on Wednesday, June 10th from 6:00–8:00 PM for Pride, Pours on the Patio at John Ash. We'll be pouring Mercury wines alongside thoughtfully paired bites, beautiful vineyard views, and a bouquet bar where you can create your own floral arrangement.

It's the kind of evening we love, great wine, great people, and a chance to gather together as the sun sets over Wine Country.

As an added bonus, guests will receive 15% off dining at John Ash before or after the event, so you can make a full evening of it.

Space is limited, so grab your tickets while they last. GET TICKETS HERE

I hope to see you there.

Cheers,

Brad

We’ve been having a little too much fun with the Brad & Jim show… so we figured, why not do it live?

And this time, you’re invited to be part of the studio audience.

Brad & Jim Show – LIVE Saturday, June 6, 2026 3:00 – 5:00 PM
At J. Rickards Winery

Here’s where it gets interesting…

We’re not just pouring wine, we’re putting it to the test.

Each dish will be paired with two different wines, and you get to decide which wine pairs best, or both!

It’s all about great food, great wine, and a little friendly debate!

What I’m Pairing: I’ll be featuring a couple of brand-new favorites:

* 2025 Sauvignon Musqué

* 2022 Russian River Pinot Noir

Paired with grilled salmon and asparagus - clean, fresh, and just about perfect for summer. And I’ll also be pouring a couple more for you to taste: 2023 Freddie Rosé and 2021 Sonoma County Zinfandel

⸻

What Jim’s Pairing: Jim’s bringing something a little richer to the table:

• Gewürztraminer

• Sémillon

Paired with stuffed pork tenderloin - bold, flavorful, and a great contrast to my lineup.

What to Expect:

• New releases + old favorites.

• Thoughtful food pairings.

• Plenty of laughs, opinions, and “aha” moments.

• A laid-back afternoon that still feels a little elevated.

The Details:

• $35 per person

• Includes tastings + food pairings

• Plus, you’ll receive a $5 credit toward any wine purchase (Because good decisions should be rewarded).

Spots will be limited, this is a “studio audience” after all… so if you want in, just reply to Jim’s email reservations@jrwinery.com

It’s always better with friends!

Downtown Geyserville

We’re teaming up with some of our favorite local wineries for a laid-back afternoon of wine, treats, and small-town charm.

A downtown marketplace with local makers, think baked goods, local art, candles, olive oil and more.

It’s one of those days where you grab a glass, stroll the town, meet great people, and maybe find the perfect little something to take home.
