Interests:
Strategic Operations Council, Vintage Graphs
Vintage Graphs was created in the fall of 2007 by two wine novices who imagined a better way to buy and sell wine. They recognized that most wine consumers struggle with how to successfully select wines that match their personal tastes.
Building on the fact that more than 70% of people are visual learners, the founders set out to design an on-bottle visual buying guide that would effectively illustrate the unique profile of each wine.
With each purchase, consumers would begin to understand the make up, or profile of the wines they like most, and then be empowered to look for similar graphs when purchasing or ordering wine. The new invention was quickly affirmed by peer groups, wine experts, potential investors, and the U.S. Patent Office.
