Sauvignon Blanc (2013) - An Argentine Vegan Wine by Bodegas Santa Ana

One thing I have learned about tasting wines is not to judge one by the bottle or in this case by the screw cap.  I understand that corks carry an elegance that almost fools the mind into thinking the liquid is already going to taste like a better wine. Well, I have been conditioned to prefer corks; however, I knew I couldn’t judge this Argentine Sauvignon Blanc from Bodegas Santa Ana by the screw cap.  And of course I did not travel to Argentina to acquire this wine, but rather purchased this bottle at a nearby Total Wine, which carries wines from Bodegas Santa Ana and Mascota Vineyards.  A fellow vegan at Bodegas Santa Ana informed me their wines are clarified with bentonite, which makes this Sauvignon Blanc a vegan wine, a veggie wine or vegetarian wine, depending on your term of preference.

Sauvignon Blanc (2013) – Trump Winery

The 2013 Sauvignon Blanc from Trump Winery is an excellent wine...as I'm sipping this wine away, I can only think about buying more bottles to keep a stock in the cellar.  This wine is easy to drink and will attract both the wine curious and the connoisseur.  The best thing is that this is a vegan-friendly wine since it is unfiltered and fined with bentonite.

Chardonnay (2013) – Trump Winery

I recently discovered vegan friendly wines from a local winery, Trump Winery located in Charlottesville, Virginia. The 2013 Chardonnay from Trump Winery is a crisp, well-balanced wine with a creamy texture. The wine is both aromatic and youthful.  This Chardonnay evokes citrus aromas resembling zesty lemon, green apple, honeysuckle, vanilla, melon and grass. At the end of the sip, this Chardonnay will leave a smooth finish with hints of vanilla and citrus.  Until the next bottle as I sip this one away!

2012 Cabernet Sauvignon by Rombauer Vineyards

The 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon from Rombauer Vineyards is a dark and slightly hazed purplish wine.  The wine showed a noticeable and intricate formation of legs around my glass, so yes it does have legs.  It has a moderate aromas, and noticeable spicy tones.  The wine has aromas of blackcurrant, red pepper, blackberries, blueberries, hints of vanilla, subtle aromas of dark leafed tobacco, and very smoky oak tones.  Did I say it has spicy tones?  This is a balanced and spicy delicious wine!  Yum!!!

Not all wines are vegan friendly?

While wine is made from fermented grapes or other fruits, some wines are not vegan because of the clarification and stabilization process, specifically the fining agents used in the process.
