Introducing Our Newest Partner: NBA Stars Kevin Love and Channing Frye's Chosen Family Wines

Some things are better when shared — a great round of golf, a perfect meal, and an exceptional bottle of wine. That's the philosophy behind Chosen Family Wines, and it's exactly why GolfN is proud to partner with them for one of our most special giveaways yet.

The Story Behind the Bottle

Chosen Family Wines was founded in 2020 by NBA champion Channing Frye and his best friend and fellow NBA champion Kevin Love. Channing first fell in love with Oregon wine during his years playing for the Portland Trail Blazers, and after retiring from a 15-year career in 2019, he dove headfirst into the Willamette Valley wine scene. The brand was built on a deeply personal foundation — after winning the 2016 NBA Championship with the Cleveland Cavaliers, Channing lost both of his parents within a month of each other. It was his teammates and closest friends — his chosen family — who carried him through. That bond became the name and the mission of the winery: bring people together over great wine.

Along with CEO Jacob Gray and winemaker Chase Renton of L'Angolo Estate, Channing and Kevin set out to build something different. Rather than restricting themselves to one vineyard or one style, Chosen Family operates through collaboration — working with some of Oregon's most respected winemakers and vineyards to produce small-batch wines that highlight the best of what the Willamette Valley has to offer. Every collab is intentionally limited in production, because as Channing puts it, when they sell out, they want people to go visit those vineyards and learn more. The wine is the starting point, not the destination.

What You Could Win

GolfN is giving one lucky winner a collector's set unlike anything else — two signed magnum bottles (1.5L each) of Chosen Family's most celebrated collaboration wines, personally autographed by Channing Frye himself.

The first is the 2021 CFW x Lingua Franca Chardonnay, a rare 94-case production sourced from the organically farmed Lingua Franca vineyard in Oregon's Eola-Amity Hills sub-AVA. Whole cluster pressed with native fermentation and 10 months on lees in 500L French oak, this is a wine built for patience and reward — much like the game of golf itself.

The second is the 2019 CFW x L'Angolo Pinot Noir, sourced from the L'Angolo Estate in the Dundee Hills and aged 16 months in 33% new French oak. Expect dark cherry, clove, and wet moss — a brooding, elegant Pinot that reflects everything that makes Willamette Valley's Jory soils so special.

Together, the set is valued at $500 and represents two of the finest expressions from Chosen Family's portfolio, in magnum format no less — the format serious collectors reach for first.
