Thoroughly enjoyed. Having grown up in Maryland and worked in restaurants in Maryland and DC. with much exposure to fine wines. Sadly agree with Mr. Wilson's belief about restaurants reopening and survival.

SO DOPE! Question... can we get a Pomp x BlockFi exec podcast soon so I can be convinced to commit ?

Pomp, can you please update us on when we should expect Part II of your interview with Balaji? A few days after Part I, I saw you said it would be a "few days." That was weeks ago now. Thanks for any info. Part I was incredible.

The government can't make you shut down your business, you do it to yourself.

What is the best tool to pull a cork with no wine key?

[@hantusmostert]

Kanonkop Paul Sauer 2015 🇿🇦 Regarding Blockchain, would be great to authenticate wine origin and even wine barrels, staves via Cardano perhaps to trace authenticity.

[@fallofmanbrand]

Loved It!

[@drewchilds3027]

I think Pomp just likes Dustin because he sports the uniform of real men.

[@chadebushman]

Bang bang!

Wine is a “wasting Asset” so not subject to capital gains tax in the U.K.

[@tadghsmith1457]

Fancy wine is all BS. There are Wine taste-tests all over KZbin. No one can tell the difference between a $10 bottle lf wine and a $1000 bottle of wine when the labels are covered. I wouldn’t invest in expensive wine for that reason alone.
