Vegan Wine

The Date: Thursday, June 16
The Delivery: Vegan wine from The Vegan Vine
Staff Pick: The cabernet sauvignon

The DL: We here at VN love our beer, wine, and spirits, as is evidenced by our new featurettes on vegan summer beers and wine and cheese, not to mention our perfect attendance at SF Vegan Drinks. (By the way, this month's special is a peach, passion fruit, and pineapple martini. Now tell us that doesn't sound delicious.) Popping open a bottle of this wine for a taste test at the end of the day seems like a great way to get an evening started. If we have to stay a little late to finish, no big deal. The wine at the top tastes different from the wine at the bottom, right?

Vegan Wallets and Soap

The Date: Monday, April 25

The Delivery: Vegan wallets from Big Skinny and assorted natural soaps from Wembé

Staff Pick: The passion fruit soap

The DL: This fruity and fragrant vegan soap is not only packed with all-natural Amazonian ingredients like passion fruit, but also includes the seeds of the tropical gem to help exfoliate knees and hands. Smooth skin that smells good enough to eat? Don't mind if we do. Except we would mind if you tried to take a bite out of us. That would be painful and a little awkward.
