The Clean Wine Contradiction: Why I Use the Term (And How You Should Evaluate It)
I need to address something uncomfortable: I market myself as "clean wine," and that term has been completely bastardized.
https://blossom.primal.net/5f29316b10d9622467214f42fd89c64c0801851d1b162ba8c50e2184fd093b05.jpg
Anyone can slap "clean wine," "low intervention," or even "natural wine" on their label. There's zero regulation about these terms in the USA and Companies are exploiting wine's unique regulatory gap. Alcohol is the only major beverage category that doesn't require ingredient lists.
That means many producers sell premium-priced "clean" wine while disparaging conventional producers. They're making bank off consumer anxiety about mysterious additives, often while their own wines come from the same bulk market they're supposedly disrupting.
How the Wine World Deals With It (Spoiler: They Don't)
There are people calling out this BS, but there's no grand solution in sight.
The regulatory gaps that allow this nonsense also exist for legitimate reasons - wine isn't a manufactured product with consistent inputs year after year.
Requiring detailed ingredient labels would crush small producers under bureaucratic burden. Many winemaking aids don't actually stay in the finished wine - do those go on the label? And ingredients lists won't tell you if the producer used pesticides anyway.
Meanwhile, there's a thriving "black market" where anyone can buy bulk wine, slap their own label on it, and compete aggressively because they don't have vineyards to maintain.
Unless you want government agents inspecting every winery (and trust me, alcohol regulation is burdensome enough), this wild west situation isn't changing anytime soon.
My Solution: Don't Trust, Verify
So why do I still use the term "clean wine"? Because when done right, it means something. But you can't rely on the label to tell you what that is.
Here's my two-part litmus test for evaluating any wine, including mine:
1. Meet the Producer (Or Get As Close As Possible)
High-quality wine producers are transparent because they're proud of what they do. They want to tell you about their vineyard, the growing season, why their location creates amazing terroir. They geek out over details.
If a producer is vague about where their wine comes from, that's your red flag. Marketing companies selling private label wine keep things mysteriously simple.
Ask questions. Where are the grapes grown? Who makes the wine? What's their approach to vineyard management? The answers (or lack thereof) will tell you everything.
2. Live in a "Don't Trust, Verify" World
After you've done your homework, there are only two questions that matter:
Do I like the wine?
How do I feel afterward?
That's it. That's your quality control.
Your body knows the difference between wine that's been manipulated to death and wine that's been crafted with care. Some people get headaches from certain sulfites. Others react poorly to high tannin manipulation.
The proof is in the bottle

I always have a bit of trepidation about interacting with crypto people, but if I can use that large platform to spread the Bitcoin only message, I feel that I should.
So I said yes and just a few hours later got DMd that all of that communication was done by someone who hacked the account.

This steady slow grind upward of the bitcoin price feels like an attempted controlled demolition of the current financial system.
Buyers have shifted from people like me YOLOing in after a "sick podcast" to institutional and geopolitical actors using complex buying strategies designed to move the price as little as possible.
This year is an inflection point for bitcoin. The secret seems to be out in the circles of power. Some of them are telling us, but most are keeping it close to the vest so they can accumulate as much as possible.
https://blossom.primal.net/68a283b99234b2235dbd7e4550ee7d33cc4e4b4df33883d04ebd07abadf9374c.jpg
If you're telling us about your established position, it means that you're ready for the price to pump. The powers that really control things don't seem to be there yet. When they get there, it will be loud, though who knows when that comes.
The signals are clear if you're watching. Seemingly everyone is lining themselves up to be on the Bitcoin Bandwagon and the Trump admin knows that it's only way out is up. The printers are coming.
It feels like the calm before the storm. If you see it, its obvious, but most people are still looking the other direction.
My main hesitation is that this inflection point feels TOO obvious. How could it be this clear? What am I missing? Can You Take Me Higher?
At what point do their complex buying strategies bump up against the immovable object of absolute scarcity? The fiat system both seems more fragile than those in it perceive, but more resilient than Bitcoiners expect.
It really does feel like something is about to happen though.

When it comes to taking investment to expand Peony Lane, I'm torn.
Financially, the upside is clear and the downside is pretty low.
The sacrifice is life.
Do I want to go hard for the next 10-20 years and come out very wealthy or do I want to make a decent living, have more time with my future family and come out as wealthy as Bitcoin determines.
I'm torn between what I want out of life and both would be pathways of growth.
Anyone have experience with this choice?

How will Bitcoin scale as a medium of exchange?
If it’s so good, won’t everyone just save it and spend their dollars instead? That’s the classic argument.
This is absolutely happening and will continue for a while. That view only sees one side of the transaction: the consumer.
https://blossom.primal.net/7cda0915385f27ba4dc4e28b30383bbcd6bbf8f17477de744d6e767c6e3bb963.png
At the beginning, just as only the most committed Bitcoiners will spend it, only the best businesses will be able to demand Bitcoin. As those two ends of the spectrum grow, people who want to spend dollars and save Bitcoin will start to run out of options. Especially for quality goods.
This transition starts with shop owners upcharging for fiat. At first, it will look like today’s cash vs credit pricing, simply covering card fees. As Bitcoin becomes more obvious, that spread will grow.
Adoption will take time. Not every producer will switch quickly. The ones who do will outcompete. They will escape margin decay from fiat debasement. They will not need to cut corners. Good money chases quality goods, and these businesses will be positioned to thrive.
High-quality producers steer the next marginal transaction. Over time, they will steer it toward Bitcoin.
If a business wants to earn the hardest money, they will have to produce a top-quality good. Just like if a consumer wants a top-quality good, they will increasingly have to pay with Bitcoin.
Orange pilling the world begins at the margins.
There are two sides to every transaction. The margins are on both ends.

How I combat shipping wine in the Summer
As temperatures rise, I get more careful about shipping. Heat can ruin a bottle before it ever reaches your door. That’s my responsibility, not yours. If a bottle ever arrives heat-damaged, I’ll make it right.
https://blossom.primal.net/5b3856ca804f27dfb8287dff69a07e8d682abdcac105b2917f755d69ffb069a4.jpg
To minimize risk:
- I only ship on Mondays, so wine doesn’t get stuck in hot warehouses over the weekend.
- I may delay shipments to hotter regions until the weather cools.
- I monitor temperatures across the country every week.
Most people don’t realize how fragile wine can be in the heat. Even short exposure to high temps can cook the wine and destroy its character. If you’ve ever opened a bottle and it tasted off or flat, that might’ve been the reason.
To help, I’m offering a new option:
- I already ship 6+ bottles free via Ground.
- Now I’ll also cover $30 toward expedited shipping on 6+ bottle orders and waive the packaging fee.
If you’re in a warmer part of the country or just want to guarantee freshness, this is the move. You’ll still get a deal on shipping, and we'll both sleep better knowing the wine will show up tasting like it should.

If you're not storing Peony Lane in a cellar or wine fridge, you shouldn't be storing it long term.
