Look at God! Congrats, bro, bro @CJMcCollum Nola is officially home now; we pulling up this summer too!
Earlier this month, McCollum celebrated his 31st birthday with his new Oregon sparkling wine.
“I’m turning 31, and I think there’s a lot in life that should be celebrated with sparkling wine. I’m hoping people will enjoy my wine with their own celebratory moments. Or maybe just on your average,” McCollum said.
“It doesn’t have to be a wedding or an anniversary. Toast yourself for a hard day’s work. Sometimes my wife Elise and I have sparkling wine with a bowl of popcorn after a long day.”
