For all of you waking up from the spoils of Thanksgiving, I'd like to say welcome back to the realm of the living and for the rest of you, I hope your Thanksgiving was a quality one.
In speaking of food and beverages, former Houston Rockets center Yao Ming has entered the world of wine.
Recently, he bought a winery in California and started making wine:
That search has resulted in Yao Ming Wine, which will make its debut this Sunday night at an auction held by Special Olympics East Asia, which organizes sports competitions for the intellectually disabled.
Yao's new Napa Valley wine company, Yao Family Wines, has released its inaugural wine under the name "Yao Ming: a 2009 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon".
It comes in a magnum bottle - meaning it can hold 1.5 liters of wine - costs 3,800 yuan ($596) a pop and is extremely rare. None of the 1,200 bottles in existence will be sold on the open market.
