It’s not every day that you can get NBA players to talk sunlight and soil. Meet Baxter Holmes. His recent article on the NBA’s Secret Wine Society had me dialing his number before I could finish the article. Based in Los Angeles, Baxter Holmes is a national NBA writer focusing on features, projects and other enterprise stories for ESPN.com and ESPN Magazine. He previously covered the Lakers for ESPN, the Celtics for The Boston Globe and a variety of subjects as a staff writer for The Los Angeles Times. He attended the University of Oklahoma and hails from Tuskahoma, Oklahoma, a town smaller than the period at the end of this sentence. Join me for this “big bottle” NBA and Wine podcast. My wine for this podcast was a Puramun Malbec Reserva from Mendoza, Argentina brining back memories from meeting legendary winemaker Pepe Galante. Enjoy!
