From Tokenized Cellars to Taste Perception: A Wine Wednesday Recap 🍷
Today at dVIN Labs
This week I had the pleasure of sitting down with Australian winemaker Grace Douglas for a conversation that hit on everything I love about wine: its unpredictability, its emotional pull, and its power to surprise—even when you think you know what’s in your glass.
We covered a lot of ground, but here are a few highlights:
🍇 Grace’s creative process — including her wild Nebbiolo & Pinot blend that somehow just works.
🌦️ How weather, winemaking, and mindset all shape a vintage (and why 2020 might be the sleeper year for Coonawarra Cab).
🍷 The emotional side of tasting — how who you’re with, where you are, and what you’re feeling can completely change your perception of a wine.
🎯 The GWB Wines backstory — and why the 6L Banana Zone bottle might be the most fun collector's piece we've ever dropped.

Next week we’re diving into Left Bank Bordeaux. Same time, same place. Bring a glass.
🔗 In Case You Missed It
On Tuesday, we dropped a spotlight on wine’s $300B liquidity problem—and how tokenization is finally setting it free.

Wine’s Liquidity Gap (And What We’re Doing About It)
Fine wine has always required patience. Bottles sit in cellars for years, gaining value. But that time comes at a cost: trapped capital, strained cash flow, and limited financial flexibility.
