ASYMMETRIC

Asymmetric is a premium estate grown Napa Cabernet Sauvignon. Grown and bottled in the esteemed Coombsville AVA.Each bottle of Asymmetric has a unique QR code. Scan it with your phone to you enter the Asymmetric Wine Club where you'll see other people who also just opened their bottle, where they are in the world, what the occasion was and what other things they are passionate about.Traditional wine clubs are limited to people who can physically visit the winery and mostly exist to sell you more wine. The Asymmetric Wine Club is an experiment to bring together a small (2020 vintage:120 cases) and interesting group of people who share a love for premium cabernet and are game to scan a QR code on a wine bottle.We're also going to experiment with giving everyone who possesses a bottle an NFT which will serve as the membership card for the club. NFTs are still hard to use so that part is optional...So: buy a bottle, scan the code, join the club. We're excited to see the group that gets formed here!Click to buy Asymmetric 2020 Cabernet- Adam Jackson & Brent Walker, Proprietors

I named the vineyard and wine "Asymmetric" because the word has special and powerful meaning in my primary line of work, founding and investing in tech companies.The term "Asymmetric" is typically defined as 2 sides not being the same as each other.In the startup and investing world, "Asymmetric Information" means you know something the rest of the world doesn't and can capitalize on this asymmetry of information by building or investing in a new company.Continuing the theme, investors often refer to "Asymmetric Returns" as an investment with an economic return profile such that the potential upside is exponentially greater than the potential downside (your invested capital). For instance, a 30% return on your investment into an energy business is relatively low-risk and likely symmetrical with the capital you're putting at risk. Conversely, if you bet on a completely unproven, early-stage startup that has a goal of fundamentally changing a component of the sector it plays in, your risk/return profile is "Asymmetric". IE: you are likely to lose all of your invested capital, but if it works out, your reward could be 100x, 1000x or 10000x+.As a startup founder and investor over the last 20 years, I've always been in the business of seeking out Asymmetric Information in order to make Asymmetric Bets and hopefully realize Asymmetric Returns.To tie it all back to the wine: we bought this beautiful property in Napa in 2020 during the height of the pandemic to escape the madness in San Francisco. The property has incredible Cabernet planted on it so we enlisted some incredibly talented winemakers and were stunned by the quality of the wine. It was too good to not deserve its own brand and community, so that's where Asymmetric comes from.You may ask, "Why the hell would I need an NFT to enjoy a nice bottle of Napa Cab?". The short answer is, you definitely don't. Open the bottle with friends and enjoy. The NFT is an experiment to see if we can bond like-minded wine and technology enthusiasts into a new community. If people are into it, great - we'll have a little wine club on our hands. If not, oh well - we're all drinking amazing Napa Cab.YoursAdam & BrentProprietors
