What made you get into Vegan wines?

I have been in the industry for 25 years and vegan for a long time! I went on a wine tasting in France for a birthday, and the folks there mentioned the soil had egg whites in them. After visiting many more vineyards, I found out the same type of soil is being used throughout. So, I came back to the states and Googled vegan wines and there were none to be found. So, I started researching and the rest is history.

Are true vegan Vineyards hard to find?

It is very tough to find because of the ingredients that are included in the soil, such as fish fertilizer and other animal ingredients.
