Mercury Geyserville

History

The Quicksilver boom of the 19th century brought thousands of people in search of an easy dollar to the rugged and rich-soiled regions of California north of San Francisco. Few of them found the riches they sought in the mercury mines, but some stayed on in the Alexander Valley to seek a living by a harder, more rewarding means - farming. Founded in 2005, and fully realized as a brand in 2009, Mercury Wines of Geyserville is the brainchild of Brad Beard. Brad is an Arizona native who has had a storied career in both sales and wine, so it was a natural fit for him to create his own wine label. Brad employs his preternaturally sensitive palate to design wines that reflect the best aspects of old-world wine making traditions and the demands of contemporary tastes.
