THE MOTORCAR COLLECTION EXPLODES TO NEW HEIGHTS

The TNT Wine Caddy customized for Peter Li’s 2018 McLaren 720S.

As the one-year anniversary of the official launch of the JAMAH Motorcar Collection approaches, JAMAH founder Nancy Gale is continuing to see this innovative line reach exciting new frontiers. Thanks to the many relationships Nancy has made in the car world, she has connected with recent clients whose Motorcar commissions have pushed the collection–and Nancy’s skill as a designer–to new heights. Once such recent innovation is the TNT Wine Caddy.

It was November 2022 when Nancy felt a buzz in her pocket and was excited to see an incoming FaceTime call from her dear friend and champion Cristina Cheever, Senior Vice President of the Robb Report’s RR1 & Live Media. When the screen clicked on, she saw that Cristina was at Robb Report’s annual Car of the Year event, and standing next to her was a bright-eyed woman Nancy would come to know as the wondrous Glenna Li. Glenna had been admiring Cristina’s JAMAH bag since she originally saw it at Robb Report’s Culinary Masters in Cabo San Lucas, and what could be better than jumping on a FaceTime call with the designer herself?

Nancy and Glenna immediately hit it off. As they got to know each other and as Glenna’s collection of JAMAH bags grew, Glenna started to dream of a gift from the Motorcar Collection that would honor her husband Peter’s passion for cars. Humble and hard-working, Peter makes every sacrifice for his family while also nurturing his love for his Porsche and McLaren and his appreciation of fine wine. Of course, only one bag could achieve such a precise goal: a bespoke wine caddy that matches Peter’s McLaren!

As her friendship with Glenna and Peter deepened, Nancy also had the pleasure of learning about their daughters, Tiana, Natasha and Talia, the TNT trio. So of course, in honor of his explosive family, Peter’s custom JAMAH bag could only be called the TNT Wine Caddy!

Large enough to accommodate one bottle of wine or champagne, the TNT Wine Caddy features an interior cubby that safely secures its contents in place. A strong magnetic closure and easy-carry handle contribute to the sleek practicality of this bag, which also holds a complementary corkscrew. This bespoke bag beautifully captures the elegant, intricate details of Peter’s McLaren.

Nancy had the honor of joining Glenna, Peter and Natasha at Lugano Privé in May 2023 to present this special gift to Peter. They enjoyed an opulent lunch at this exclusive social club, which allowed Nancy to deepen her friendship with the Li family and learn more about this tight-knit crew.
