Did you know that most wine isn't vegan? I discovered this a while back and have been interested in finding some tasty organic / vegan wine. I think I tried a vegan wine about a year ago because I remember that Fisher's has an organic wine section. While at
Raisin Rack last week I picked up a bottle of Orelans Hill California Syrah and wanted to see how it stacked up to my favorite Funky Llama Shiraz from Argentina.
This particular wine spoke to me because of the label. Who could pass on a bottle with a picture of Don Quixote approaching the windmills???
So what's the verdict? I'm going to stick to my Funky Llama. I'm not a wine person so I have a hard time putting my finger on why I didn't like the vegan wine. I guess all I can say is that it seemed weak or watery... Maybe too sweet? I just prefer the fruity / peppery taste of the Funky Llama. Oh, well... So, I'm not a perfect vegan. I think I'll try a different variety next time.
