However, what he didn’t know was that within a few years, he would end up building a small but dedicated community consisting of people who would make his dream possible. Named Wade Cellars, it brings the most affordable luxury wines from Napa’s most iconic vineyards. The brand just took another step forward.

Dwyane Wade is in the wine industry to usher a change

The 3x champion is a father to his lovely children, a basketball legend to the fans but he is just a student when it comes to business. Well, it doesn’t imply he lacks knowledge, what he meant is that he consistently strives to learn more about everything.

How? Last year, the champ joined the UC Davis executive leadership board. The University has one of the best viticulture departments in the nation. With this new role, his goal is to know more about the culture and hopefully make it inclusive.

During an appearance in the Point Forward podcast, the Miami Heat legend said, “You said, ‘We’, like in our culture, we usually have hard liquor and vodka, you know, forced upon us. So we oftentimes get a negative response in regard to alcohol.”
