ROAD TRIPS 2023

Valley winery
I have a destination or don't have a destination.
Sometimes the road just clears your mind. "
Mental clarity has been critical since leaving
the NBA, Wade says. He played in the league
for 16 years, primarily for the Miami Heat,
before retiring at age 37. A 13-time NBA
All-Star, he was recently named to the NBA's
75th anniversary team as one of
the 75 greatest players in NBA
history. " After retirement, I no
longer had the basketball court,
which was a sanctuary for me.
I needed to be able to let certain
things out, so I started going to
therapy. I started doing meditation
and working with a life coach, "
he says. Fans who've seen the
ESPN documentary D Wade: Life
Unexpected know the weightiness
of Wade's retirement decision. In
the opening scene, he records an
emotional video as he wakes up on
the morning after his final NBA game.
Looking back on that moment, Wade says,
" I tell my friends, my former teammates, anyone
who's getting near retirement, 'You will be
scared.' I had some great partnerships in place
and a great team behind me, but I was still afraid
of going out and doing something that I've never
done before. "

Wade has used his time off the court to
develop a diverse business portfolio. One of his
passion projects has been developing his wine
brand, a quest ignited by his first Napa Valley
visit in 2014.
" I didn't know anything about wine at the
Wade Cellars
time, but I just knew it was something that was
calling me, " he says.
In Napa, he met with famed
vintner Jayson Pahlmeyer and the
two formed a partnership that
became Wade Cellars. The brand's
approachable and well-respected
wines include a Cabernet
Sauvignon, a Chenin Blanc, and
a Rosé that are sold online and at
retailers across the country. Wade
Cellars also plans to launch a wine
club with bottle labels designed by
BIPOC artists, Wade says.
He has also recently joined the
UC Davis Executive Leadership
Board for the Department of Viticulture and
Enology with the goal of bringing more diversity
to the wine industry.
" I want to open up the doors of accessibility
as much as possible not just for the Black
community, but for all communities, " he says.
" In the community that I come from, wine wasn't
something we had the money to buy-we had to
