New Orleans Pelicans star Josh Hart's love for wine was sparked by LeBron James; but his continued appreciation is thanks to Wine Access.

New Orleans Pelicans Star Josh Hart Gives Wine Access An Exclusive Tour Of His High Quality Wine Cellar

New Orleans Pelicans star Josh Hart’s love for fine wine was initially sparked by former teammate (and “banana boat” crew member) LeBron James, but he attributes Wine Access—a direct-to-consumer online wine platform and membership program with a meticulously curated selection from across the globe, each hand-picked and tasted by the highly accredited team—for his growing knowledge and appreciation, especially for those Bordeaux and Napa Cabs.

“Wine Access has been huge for me in terms of my wine education and appreciation,” he began. “I don’t think I would be as into wine, or know as much about it, without Vanessa [Conlin, Master of Wine at Wine Access] and the rest of their team. I feel like I’m discovering something new and exciting with each shipment they send, and I really appreciate all the information that’s included to help people learn about the wide world of wine.”
