Haute Living and notable guests had a baller of a night celebrating the NBA All-Star James Harden on his Haute Wine & Spirits cover release. The event was beautifully designed around the launch of Harden’s newest wine brand, J-Harden x J-Shed. The exclusive seated dinner was held at the LA’s Melroseplace. To start the night, an array of pass-arounds were served, and a variety of cocktails were on tap.

Between J-Harden X J-Shed California Cabernet Sauvignon and Red Blend wine and the Tequila Gran Damante, in which he is an investor, the finest of beverages were definitely on deck. As the night transformed into an intimate dinner, the menu, which included filled with spicy pasta alla vodka, king salmon, focaccia, and more were served. While indulging in tasty entrées and lively conversations, it was only a matter of time till the fork hit the glass and guests were drawn into a proper toast.
