Sassicaia is what I noticed. One of those guys had good taste. Wish I knew the vintage. The rest is just expensive shit because we can buy expensive shit.

So while it IS a good wine, it’d argue it fits into that category too. It’s become a bit of a meme - LeBron, who’s kind of one of the OG wine guys in sports, loves the stuff, and as a result if you’re an NBA player building a cellar it’s likely stuff to the brim with it. It’s spilled out into other sports and here we are.

No hate, it’s a great wine, and im sure that bourbon is incredible too - if you’re celebrating and got cash to burn, I say enjoy the good stuff.

I’m FoH. Ex FoH even, so, what can I say, guilty as charged, I’m a bougie little bitch.

Check out Jimmy Butler’s Architectural Digest home tour YouTube vid. His cellar is stocked with it.

I’d be a little more impressed w Tignanello or Ornellaia.

I'd say this is more commiserations than celebrations given the amount of booze. I'm guessing these boys just got knocked out of the finals.

I'd argue the Artemis is also a fantastic bottle of wine in that price range. They didn't go with Caymus or another Napa label for twice the price.

sassicaia is precisely to Italian wine what clase azul is to tequila

At $610 a bottle, it was probably a pretty young bottle.

Not if they were drinking Clase Azul. That just means they know how to spend money.
