Leader in tokenizing provenance and building product ecosystems for collectible wine: Garrett co-founded dVIN Labs and Club dVIN to create Digital Corks (NFT twins for bottles), Tasting Tokens, VIN coin incentives and Bacchus AI — all aimed at provenance, anti-counterfeit, winemaker royalties, and new direct-to-consumer pathways. dvinlabs+2
