The Vegan Vine was developed when a family member had some questions regarding the use of animal products in winemaking . He was curious if Clos LaChance’s wines were suitable for his animal-free lifestyle. After meeting with the production team, it was determined that we could make a line of Vegan wines that were high quality—and educate Vegans in the process.

Way back in LYNCHBURG, TENNESSEE, the name Nearest Green has always meant something special. His birth name was Nathan Green, but his family and friends called him Uncle Nearest. No one actually knows how he obtained that nickname, so we assume he was the “nearest and dearest” to so many who came in contact with him.
Hailing from Maryland, one of the original capitals of whiskey making in the United States, we don’t know how or when Uncle Nearest made his way southwest to Tennessee. What we can confirm is he is the first African-American master distiller on record in the United States and thought to be responsible for helping perfect the Lincoln County Process, a requirement in being categorized as Tennessee Whiskey.

I am one of a handful of African American winemaker / owner. I was born the son of a Texas Moonshine maker. My Father, Sue, was considered by many to be the finest Moonshine maker in all of Texas, because of the fine grains he used to make his corn whiskey. Years later, after enjoying many Pinot Noir wines and several trips to Burgundy France, my wife Lil and I purchased the best California grapes available to us and I achieved my personal vision as a winemaker. Established in 1995, Vision Cellars is a passionate boutique winery specializing in Pinot Noir without compromise. My sincere wish is that you enjoy our wines and share them with others to appreciate our “Vision”.

We’re not a chain and our beer is not mass-produced. We buy our grain locally and delivered it to San Antonio and South Texas. We are independent and with the support of independent loving fans, we intend to stay that way. You can’t be closer to the source of your beer than to sit in the shadow of the fermenter your beer was kegged from days before. If you wander too close to the brew floor, we’ll try to educate you on all things beer. And maybe you’ll love it. The name says it all, we’re a little weathered by life and really don’t mind it. All part of the adventure…
