LOT 9
Evolution of Friendship
Dwyane Wade may be first known as one of the world’s most celebrated basketball players, but his passion off the court led him to his next great love: Napa Valley wines.
Wade Cellars was born out of Dwyane’s admiration of the great wines of Napa Valley. Inspired by a magical visit to Napa during the 2014 harvest season, Dwyane sought the advice and mentorship of his friend Jayson Pahlmeyer to collaborate in the production of Wade Cellars. For nearly 40 years, Pahlmeyer has consistently produced iconic Napa Valley wines of power, finesse and distinction and shares Wade’s bold and irrepressible spirit. Together, they bring you a lot that celebrates their friendship, the excitement of basketball and the joy of Napa Valley winemaking.
You and one very lucky friend will be invited to attend the 2025 NBA All-Star Weekend in San Francisco. You will each receive VIP tickets to an incredible line up of exclusive events including The Gentleman’s Supper Club, an invite-only gathering started by Dwyane Wade, Chris Paul and Carmelo Anthony, as well as the Stance Spades Tournament-both of which are expected to host a roster of A-list athletes and celebrities.
Continue the energetic spirit of the All-Star experience with the Welcome Reception, Rising Stars Challenge, All-Star Saturday Night contests and a Saturday night concert hosted by TNT. You can close out the weekend by reminiscing about all the great fun had at the NBA Legends Brunch, where you are guaranteed to run into a few more notable players.
To top it all off, we will send you home with a nine-liter special collaboration bottling of Wade Cellars and Pahlmeyer, signed by Dwyane Wade, Jayson Pahlmeyer and Pahlmeyer Winemaker Katie Vogt. This never-before-made wine is ideal for sharing with a group of wine-loving basketball friends, just as Dwyane and Jayson would do.
