Former Lakers player Vujasic recently visited the podcast show Travis & D’Marco, and talked about his winemaking career.

Vujasic said: "I fell in love with wine since I was a teenager. During that time, we had an idea that if everything went well and I had the chance, I hope to own a family business. After all, you, an athlete, have to make plans for the future. So, after winning consecutive championships in 2009 and 2010, we realized this dream. My father was a winemaker, the entire winery is fully operated by the family, and my brother is the CEO. We are responsible for managing daily affairs. We can say that our focus is not on price, but on the quality of the product. "

" For example, we use the best oak barrels in France to package products, plant grapes in the best vineyards, and make them carefully. What we pursue is quality, which is the most important thing. Don't worry about price, just enjoy the wine. This dream has motivated me when I feel tired of playing or training, and it has inspired me to become a better basketball player." Vujasic added.

Vujasic left the NBA in 2017 to play overseas until he retired in 2019. He made both free throws in the final moments of the 2010 Finals G7, helping the Lakers secure the championship.
