Welcome to Beats Vines & Life! Today we are revisiting our milestone 50th episode of The Black Wine Guy Experience, where I sat down with none other than former NBA star, podcasting powerhouse, NBA Analyst and new head coach of the Los Angeles Laker sJJ Redick!

From growing up in Roanoke, Virginia, with a backyard hoop and a passion for both basketball and baseball, to shining as Duke University's all-time leading scorer and becoming an NBA standout, JJ's journey is nothing short of inspirational. We'll dive deep into his career highs and lows, the pivotal moments that shaped him, and his love for wine, especially his preference for Northern Rhone over Bordeaux.

JJ opens up about the pressures athletes face, the importance of mental health, and how a visit to Napa ignited his wine passion. Plus, we'll explore his new ventures in the world of sports media and podcasting, and his thoughtful takes on NBA players, teams, and storylines.

Pour yourself a glass and tune in for an insightful and personal conversation that blends sports, life, and the joys of wine.

Cheers!

A Massive THANK YOU and CONGRATULATIONS to JJ REDICK!!!
