Check out all the great events Laurie has on the calendar in 2026 on her website at TheWineCoach.com/events including a few spaces still left in her Tuscany tour this October!

In this episode, David Kong shares how he went from finance to founding Glasvin, the wine glass brand redefining how wine should actually taste. We dig into why glass construction matters more than most people realize, how the right shape can elevate the entire tasting experience, and what separates a great wine glass from the ones quietly sabotaging your favorite bottle. David also talks about expanding the Glasvin lineup, proper care and maintenance (yes, your dishwasher has opinions), and why the brand has become a go-to in top restaurants. Along the way, he introduces Somm.ai, his data-driven platform helping wineries and restaurants sell smarter. The conversation wraps with a relaxed, wine-nerd-fueled chat about favorite bottles—because no good wine talk should end without one.
