From NBA Triumphs to Vineyard Dreams - Tony Parker and Channing Frye on Their Journeys into Wine
In this special episode of The Vint Podcast, we're excited to bring you a unique two-interview episode with the first featuring Tony Parker and Channing Frye, two former NBA champions who have ventured into the wine industry. Tony Parker shares his intriguing journey from the basketball court to the vineyard, detailing his involvement with Chateau La Mascaronne and Maison Jeeper Champagne. He reflects on how his upbringing in Europe influenced his passion for wine and delves into the organic practices at Chateau La Mascaronne. Parker also recounts the fascinating history behind Maison Jeeper, highlighting its World War II connection.
Following Parker's interview, we revisit a conversation from two years ago with Channing Frye, originally aired as Episode 18. Alongside co-owner Jacob Gray, Frye discusses the foundation of Chosen Family Wines and their commitment to inclusivity and diversity within the wine industry. This re-airing allows us to explore the parallels and through-lines between these athletes' transitions into the wine world. Both Parker and Frye reflect on how their experiences in the NBA have shaped their approach to winemaking and their efforts to build community through their ventures.
