Hey everyone,

I'm excited to share my upcoming app I've been working on called VINYO. It's a SaaS platform meant to connect us to black-owned wineries for us to support, uses gamification to teach us about, and gives you the ability to create micro-communities.

Feel free to check out the site, register for updates, and test out the beta app.
