CJ McCollum turned his NBA Bubble hotel room into a wine cellar

His room is EXTRA cold, but it’s worth it.

CJ McCollum might be the league’s wine king. He’s got the credentials.

McCollum actually created his own wine label called McCollum Heritage 91 through a partnership with Adelsheim Vineyards. Anytime you check his Instagram story, he’s probably pouring up a bottle or two.

He loves wine — point blank. That’s why it makes total sense that he brought 84 bottles with him to the NBA’s Disney World bubble to drink while they’re quarantined and playing games.

What doesn’t make quite as muchsense is McCollum turning his own room into a wine cellar. He keeps the temperature in his room at 60 degrees (!!!) when he’s inside it and in the mid-to-high 50s (!!!!!!) when he’s not just to keep those bottles cool, according to ESPN’s Baxter Holmes.

“He keeps the temperature around 60 degrees when he’s inside it and in the mid-to-high 50s when he’s not, all in an effort to protect the 84 bottles that he keeps in boxes, out of the light. For the most part, McCollum shipped in pinot noir from Oregon, where he is a member at several local wineries, along with the first bottling of his own recently released wine, McCollum Heritage 91, also an Oregon pinot noir.”

Yo. That is FRIGID. My goodness.

Though, it might be totally worth it. McCollum has been able to keep his wine cool enough to share with everybody. In fact, according to Holmes’ story, for Damian Lillard’s birthday McCollum was able to dish out wine to members of the Blazers’ staff and Lillard himself for their celebration.

It looked like a great time AND there was definitely mad wine in the building.

Now, that’s what I call being a great teammate. Shoutout to CJ.
