This Week’s Pour: Bordeaux, Bacchus AI, and the Global Order Book
This week at dVIN Labs (🍷,⛓️)
🚨Upcoming Livestream: Bordeaux Futures, Left Bank Legends & Market Moves with Jane Anson 🍷
This week, we’re joined by one of the most respected voices in wine — Jane Anson. If you’ve ever tried to understand Bordeaux, chances are you’ve already read her work. Jane spent nearly 20 years as Decanter’s Bordeaux correspondent, has tasted and tracked every top château in the region, and is the author of the definitive Inside Bordeaux — a 700-page opus hailed as “the Bordeaux bible.”
On the heels of the 2024 en primeur campaign, Jane will unpack what insiders are really saying about this tricky vintage, the price cuts making waves, and whether Bordeaux’s classic producers are adapting to a rapidly shifting global market. We’ll also take a closer look at the Left Bank’s enduring influence — from Pauillac powerhouses to under-the-radar gems — and what Jane’s eyeing as the region evolves in real time.
Whether you’re a collector, a sommelier, or just wine-curious, this is your chance to hear directly from the woman whose words shape the fine wine conversation. Expect sharp insights, honest takes, and a masterclass in Bordeaux from one of the best in the business.
Don’t miss it!

📖 New Article: From Bordeaux to Blockchain
Dave’s latest piece unpacks one of the biggest structural problems in wine: fragmentation.
From Bordeaux négociants to US importers, the global wine market is siloed, opaque, and inefficient. The dVIN Protocol changes that — creating a unified, tokenized global order book that supports both traditional players and digital-native ones.
This isn’t about replacing anyone. It’s about building the infrastructure so that the market works better for everyone.
