There has been plenty of speculation on what career the multitalented Steph Curry may decide to pursue after the his history-making playing days in the NBA are over.
But could the answer turn out to be — a bartender?
The Golden State Warriors star was pretty good at the job as he poured drinks for fans in one of the swanky VIP areas at BottleRock Napa Valley on Saturday, May 25.
He wasn’t making any of those complicated mixed drinks, however, but rather just offering up tastes of his new Gentleman’s Cut Bourbon.
And Curry was certainly every bit the gentleman, as he talked with fans while filling their glasses and posing for selfies. (I even had the chance to exchange greetings with him and he was as nice as could be, although I did not sample his bourbon.)
Gentleman’s Cut is a 90 proof Kentucky straight bourbon that is aged between five and seven years.
Gentleman’s Cut “delivers a seamless sip of honey, fresh vanilla bean, and rich caramel on the palate. The rye element engages earthy and spicy notes, while the dash of barley offers bold touches of cocoa and toast,” according to the bourbon’s website.
A little later in the day, Curry would further hawk his bourbon brand as he appeared on the festival’s Williams Sonoma Culinary Stage with actor Bradley Cooper (who was promoting his Philly cheesesteak business), chef Jose Andres and host Liam Mayclem.
Cooper then went on to perform with Pearl Jam later in the night.
