Decanter Interview: NBA star CJ McCollum on making his own wine
Decanter speaks to CJ McCollum of Portland Trail Blazers about his winemaking project with Adelsheim Vineyard in Oregon and how he became part of the NBA’s renowned wine scene.
CJ McCollum’s debut wine, ‘McCollum Heritage 91’, reportedly sold out in 45 minutes after the
Oregon Pinot Noir was released last year at a retail price of $50-a-bottle. It would take longer to watch an NBA game.
‘It’s so cool to bring it out and see it sell,’ McCollum tells
Decanter towards the end of 2020, prior to the start of the new NBA season.

You don’t have to be a football fan to appreciate the Super Bowl.
(Then again, you couldn’t plan a better matchup - age (Brady) versus youth (Mahomes), the defending champions (Kansas City Chiefs) versus the veterans with something to prove (Tampa Bay Buccaneers).
Some people watch the game just for the commercials.
Others tune in just to see the halftime show.
Wine Country Inn Love
By Tamara Belgard
Anyone who’s driven through Oregon’s wine country gorgeous landscapes alternating between colorful vineyards, rich farmland and dense forest has probably fantasized, even if for just a moment, how it would feel to live amid all that splendor. Now you can, well kind of.
Simply reserve some time at one of these quixotic inns and dive headfirst into the wine country lifestyle. Bathe in grandeur at one the larger luxury properties or escape to somewhere more quiet and remote for a complete reset. And just because there’s a pandemic doesn’t mean Valentine’s Day is canceled; romance should never be canceled. A romantic escape is probably more important, more needed than ever. What better place to get all amorous, than in Oregon wine country?
