Silicon Valley Bank’s wine division founder Rob McMillan, who would write the annual reports, has so far refused to comment on the situation, but has built the bank’s reputation as one of the few institutions that truly understands the industry. Of the wine.

The data collected by the bank was a data source that wineries would use to make decisions about future sales, marketing, and agriculture.
