Las Vegas, NV — A21 Wine and Spirits, a nationally expanding wine and spirits agency focused on strategic brand development and disciplined market execution, today announced the continued growth of its portfolio with the nationwide representation of Ronald Isley Liquid Gold and John Lee Hooker Legacy Spirits.

This announcement comes on the heels of a major cultural milestone: The Isley Brothers received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on Wednesday, January 26th, celebrating decades of musical influence and cultural impact. The honor amplifies the resonance of Ronald Isley Liquid Gold—a spirits brand deeply rooted in heritage, artistry, and the legacy of one of music’s most enduring families.

Building on the recent formation of its national sales organization, A21 Wine and Spirits now extends its capabilities as a brand-building agency, providing comprehensive sales management, distributor engagement, and market execution for partner brands across the United States.

The addition of Ronald Isley Liquid Gold and John Lee Hooker Legacy Spirits reflects A21’s commitment to representing culturally significant, heritage-driven brands that resonate with both consumers and trade partners.

“The Isley Brothers’ recognition on the Hollywood Walk of Fame underscores the cultural significance behind Ronald Isley Liquid Gold,” said Mark Newman, CEO of A21 Wine and Spirits. “At A21, we are proud to represent brands with authentic stories and deep roots in culture and music. Pairing that legacy with our national sales infrastructure enables us to bring meaningful growth and connection to consumers and our trade partners.”

Through its national sales team, A21 Wine and Spirits provides distributor management, chain programming, on-premise development, and localized market execution designed to build sustainable distribution and brand awareness across all channels.

The representation of Ronald Isley Liquid Gold and John Lee Hooker Legacy Spirits strengthens the agency’s portfolio by pairing iconic musical legacies with premium spirits offerings, creating unique opportunities for consumer engagement, experiential programming, and retail activation nationwide.

“With our national footprint now fully operational, we are positioned to support brand partners at every level of the three-tier system,” added Newman.  “These partnerships represent the type of authentic, culture-driven brands we are proud to bring to market.”
