Amar’e Stoudemire bids big for French wine tour

Only Amar’e Stoudemire could beat Christine Schwarzman, wife of Blackstone founder Steve Schwarzman, in a bidding war.

The wealthy rivals went head-to-head at Tuesday’s Henry Street Settlement benefit at the Plaza Hotel for a visit to the Chanel-owned Château Rauzan-Ségla, a winery in the Bordeaux region of France.

The fierce bidding ended with Stoudemire winning at $17,000.

The two hugged in the end before organizers agreed that both could score a visit for $17,000 apiece.
