The nickname “Wine and Gold” has never been more appropriate than when referencing the Cleveland Cavaliers’ 2016 championship team.

Former Cav and fan favorite Channing Frye, who has his own wine brand (Chosen Family) dished about the role that wine played amongst the 2016 squad and more when he appeared on “The Old Man & the Three” earlier this week. Dallas Mavericks guard J.J. Redick, a noted wine aficionado, and producer Tommy Alter co-host the hit podcast.
