from broadwayspirits We're rounding out Black History Month by highlighting one of the Greats and a true original in the industry. After retiring from the NBA, Isiah Thomas followed his second passion: winemaking. This pursuit led him to the hills of France, where he studied the soil, topography, and climate on a quest to craft a delicious champagne using the finest grapes available without distorting the taste with sugar additives. In 2016, he found partners in the Cheurlin family, who had produced champagne in France since 1788. Isiah Imports was the progeny of this partnership, making it not only the exclusive owner and importer of Cheurlin Champagne to the United States, but also making Isiah Thomas an international businessman and one of the few (if only) African Americans to own and import champagne in the world. isiahthomas cheurlin1788 detroitpistons NBATV #Cheurlin1788 #Pistons #MVP #basketball #nba #champagne #veuveclicquot #bollinger #sparklingwine #winelover #winestagram #...
