Peony Lane Customers Get Shit Done🍷💪

It frustrates me to no end that my Dad doesn't understand Bitcoin, but he sure did know how to establish a legacy.

He worked his ass off to buy the land and plant the grapes that I am building on top of. I would have little if not for him.

My goal is to create something on top of what he started that will inspire my kids to take it even further.

He won with Real Estate.
I am going to win with Bitcoin.

But the generational wealth is found in the land and the memories created while stewarding and enjoying it.

A winemaker in the USA can add any of these acidity adjusters to their wine without disclosing the info to the consumer.

The only way to know what is in your wine is to ask the winemaker directly.

What goes through your head when you drink my Pinot Noir? 🍷👀

Eggs can Make Wine Great Again

Seriously. Egg whites are used in red wine as a natural clarifying agent to soften tannins, reduce astringency, and improve mouthfeel.

You pour the egg whites in, stir, and wait.🧵

A protein called albumin binds to sediment, settles out, and leaves a clearer, smoother, egg-free wine.

How do you know if a wine was clarified this way? You won’t, unless you meet the winemaker and ask.

Ingredient labels are not required, and it would probably kill sales if a winemaker went around telling everyone he uses eggs.

On the flip side, you also can’t tell if a wine didn’t use this process. A wine labeled vegan won’t have been clarified with eggs, but many self-respecting winemakers, like me, can’t bring themselves to label their wines ‘VEGAN’ even if they are.

Because of the implication.

Does this wine make my butt look big? 🍷👀

Do calories all count the same even if they make you feel differently?

If Bitcoiners are Cyber Hornets, what should I call this wine?

Does wine get more valuable over time?

Let's level set.

You can't just walk into a wine shop, grab any bottle off the shelf, stash it away for a few years, and expect to flip it for a profit. The wine might improve in quality if you store it well, but there are real barriers to resale.

Don't trust. Verify.

How can I be sure you stored that bottle properly for a decade? What if the power went out one summer and your wine fridge hit 85 degrees for two days? That's enough to cook a bottle.

The only real proof that the wine was aged well comes when you pop the cork. Unfortunately, the sale happens long before then so reputation is everything and that takes decades to build.

The wine has to matter in the first place.

Most wines on shelves aren't built to age and don't come from a vintage anyone's hunting for. There's a glut of wines that taste similar, fade fast, or never had any upside to begin with.

Why would someone pay a premium for your ten-year-old bottle when there are tons of others with the same profile?

Only a small handful of wineries have earned a reputation for age-worthy wines. Within that, not every vintage even stand out.

If you want to dip your toes into aging wine, here's my advice: Buy a full case of a red you love. Store it properly. Open one bottle every six months. You'll notice a difference and it'll be an enjoyable exercise.

As for those of you buying my wine with the idea of flipping it someday: I'm honored. I think my wine is suited to age well and unique enough to be worthwhile. If you end up making money by reselling my wine, that's great for me.

But I'm not holding my breath...especially in Bitcoin terms.
