Fans around Rip City know that Portland Trail Blazers’ shooting guard CJ McCollum enjoys his vino, so much so that he has his own wine label and recently acquired a vineyard that abuts the winery property where his McCollum Heritage label is made. In a recent piece on CNN, McCollum spoke with journalist Jeremy Harlan about his growing wine ventures. Harlan acknowledged that McCollum is more than one kind of trail blazer.
“As far as players, I think I’m the only one,” McCollum says when asked if any others in the league own their own vineyard.
