After his retirement from the NBA, Dwyane Wade decided to kick it back and enjoy fine dining and some wine. Though Wade retired in 2019, he had already started taking the necessary steps for what he wanted to do after his playing days were over. And starting his own cellar was one of them. With no NBA games for quite some time, Wade was spotted with his fellow banana boat friends Chris Paul and Carmelo Anthony along with a New Orleans Pelicans star.

Dwyane Wade often hosts soirees from time to time with his initiative, the ?When We Gather? event. While fellow banana boat member LeBron James achieved a historic motorsport feat, it was no surprise seeing The Flash enjoy some good food and wine along with some other known faces and an $8 million worth rapper as well.

However, James was not available, as he hoisted the tricolor to get the 24-hour LeMans started. New Orleans Pelicans star C. J. McCollum was also spotted with the three legends. Wade shared a series of pictures with all of them on his Instagram, along with the rapper E-40 as well.

Wade had the opportunity to bring out his Three & Wade Cabernet Sauvignon, a production of Wade Wines. This was something that was common in the Aspen festival as well. Not only that, but McCollum?s Pinot Noir was also featured among the bottles of different spirits.

So, while Wade?s longtime brother LeBron James may not have been there, the rest of the group surely did have fun in his absence.
