Step into the inviting ambiance of the Empress lounge & bar for a night filled with the velvety jazz tones and the refined pleasure of wine tasting. This event showcases the talents of the Bay Area’s beloved saxophonist, Ric Alexander, alongside his musical companions. Earlier in the year, Ric unveiled Ric Ashea, his own venture into marketing and consulting, designed to bring the wine-tasting journey of esteemed local vineyards to his performance venues. This fusion of Wine & Jazz is the perfect prelude to your Summer Vibes on the Vine.

Witness Ric Alexander’s signature performance, which you may have seen on his recent tour with Tony Toni Tone’, where he masterfully plays two saxophones at once. His unique, smooth, and melodious approach never fails to enchant his audience.

Enjoy exclusive tastings of Delicato Family Wine & Champagne, courtesy of Ric Ashea. The evening is brought to you by the gracious hosting of Ms. Kim Pruitt from KP Entertainment Connections and Mark Elliott of The A-List Musiq Circle.
