Stephen Mok is on a mission to make sure the wine industry doesn’t miss its moment with artificial intelligence.

As Founder of Vintage Labs, Stephen has spent the past few years embedded in the practical reality of AI experimenting, prototyping, and testing what actually moves the needle for wine businesses. He has built automations, stress-tested emerging tools, and logged countless hours separating hype from true opportunity.

Stephen didn’t arrive at wine technology through the usual path. His early career in sales drilled home the fundamentals of trust, value, and problem-solving. Later, as a product leader in Seattle, he specialized in turning big, complicated visions into working solutions. At every step, he honed the same craft: translating technical complexity into results that matter.

Now, at Vintage Labs, Stephen applies that discipline to wine. He’s not here to sell a magic AI solution, he’s here to share what works, what doesn’t, and why the time to start experimenting is right now. His message to wine business leaders is simple: don’t wait. Every day, the gap between adopters and laggards grows wider.

On today’s episode, Stephen brings hard-earned insights, stories from the AI frontlines, and a clear-eyed view of how wine can embrace innovation without losing its soul. A massive thanks to Stephen for joining me.
