Guest guest Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 We had Girasole Pinot Noir and Chardonnay this holiday:http://www.girasolevineyards.com/girasole/index.jspGood stuff; they should get your money. From their site:Dan also adheres to Vegan guidelines when making any of the Girasole Vineyards wines. This means that no animal products, such as egg-whites, are used in the winemaking process. Special organically-approved yeasts (which are not grown on any petrochemical substrate product) are used to promote the fermentation of the grapes into wine.Vegan wines: In order for a wine to qualify for vegan status, there can be no use of animal products in the winemaking process (e.g. egg-whites or edible gelatins) Both organic and non-organic winemaking practices sometimes employ "fining" techniques ("Fining" wine refers to the process of purifying the wine to remove or reduce any unwanted matter from the wines). If any Girasole wines need to be fined (which not every vintage/varietal does), we do not use any animal products in the process.Go Girasole (means " sunflower " in Italian).Blake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 OK. Sigh. Can someone please give me a vintner who provides these delicious wines either IN Maryland or delivered to Maryland? I REALLY want to try the Pircas Negras Malbec, and the Girasole Vineyards wines too, but these do not deliver and are not sold into Maryland. As much as I’d love to meet Fraggle FTF, I cannot get away just now.
