‘Top me off!’ Watch Dwyane Wade happily pour wine for his fans in Miami Beach
Dwyane Wade is so many things: basketball star, father, husband, philanthropist, sock designer, fashion icon, dream builder.
We’ve never seen him as bartender, though.
On Saturday night, during Wade’s South Beach Wine & Food Festival event at Eden Roc in Miami Beach, the 38 year old showed off some skills.
Wade appeared at the event to present both the red and rosé from his Wade Cellars wine to festivalgoers.
The star athlete casually walked into the pool area to cheers, while his rap song with Rick Ross played in the background, “Season Ticket Holder.”
He talked briefly to the crowd about the “Weekend of Wade,” which saw his No. 3 Miami Heat jersey being retired and his documentary airing on ESPN, “D Wade: Life Unexpected.”
“I’m so happy I get to share this moment with you all,” he said, then strolled over to the bar, got behind the decks and began popping bottles.
Cameras were flashing, glasses were being shoved in his face and people were yelling, “Top me off!” and “Can I get a refill?” but Wade remained chill. He even joked with the crowd, telling them he was “working pro bono,” and told one guy to to be careful and not stain his white jacket while drinking his red.
Someone from the peanut gallery did seem to get Wade a little distracted for a sec.
“Tyrone!” a woman yelled, laughing.
Wade grimaced and said, “I don’t really talk about my middle name much.”
Then he laughed. Back to pouring.
“It’s all good.”
