🤖 From Guesswork to Gold: How Bacchus Is Rewriting the Wine Playbook

Forget dusty ledgers and blind bets. The most valuable player in the wine game right now isn’t a rockstar sommelier or a fast-talking broker—it’s an algorithm with a perfect palate and zero hangovers.

In our latest piece, we pull back the curtain on Bacchus AI, our “Bloomberg Terminal for Wine,” and how it’s putting an end to the chaos merchants, investors, and winemakers have endured for centuries. This is more than just a tech flex—it’s an operating system for the entire fine wine market.

🍇 Bacchus spots dead stock before it drains your cashflow.
📈 It times price moves like a Wall Street trader.
🤖 It chats like a sommelier, upselling with uncanny precision (and without the judgmental eyebrow).

If you’ve ever stared at your cellar or POS system and thought, “Am I winning or just sitting on a very expensive problem?”—this one’s for you.

🌋 Wine Wednesday – Volcanic Wines with John Szabo MS!

Pour yourself a glass and join me live this Wednesday as we head straight into the heart of the earth—literally. We’re talking volcanic wines: reds laced with smoky depth from Mount Etna, whites crackling with salty tension from the Canary Islands.

I’ll be joined by John Szabo MS (www.johnszabo.com) Canada’s first Master Sommelier, award-winning author of Volcanic Wines: Salt, Grit and Power, and one of the planet’s leading voices on how fiery soils forge unforgettable bottles. He’s trekked Etna, Santorini, and everywhere in between, and he’s bringing his stories (and a few insider tips) to our stream.

📅 Wednesday, August 13
🕠 5:30pm CET
📍 Live on X and YouTube
🎟 RSVP: https://lu.ma/volcanic

Grab a glass. Bring your curiosity. Let’s get a little ashy.

✨ Thursday’s Club dVIN Exclusive Drop – Château Smith Haut Lafitte 2022 Blanc

This week’s drop is pure white Bordeaux royalty. The 2022 Smith Haut Lafitte Blanc is a knockout blend—90% Sauvignon Blanc, 5% Sémillon, 5% Sauvignon Gris—from Pessac-Léognan’s legendary Cathiard family.

Think lemon curd, orange blossom, and ripe pear, all riding on a bed of crushed stone minerality with that signature saline snap. Critics are already calling it one of the finest white releases from SHL—ever. Yields were tiny, quality was through the roof, and this is your shot at locking it down for the cellar.

Members: check your inbox Thursday morning for your allocation link.
