Joel Gott Wines
United States
Joel Gott Wines is a California-based producer crafting food-friendly wines from California, Oregon, and Washington. The winery is owned and operated by the Joel Gott Wines entity, with no public details on production scale or vineyard acreage. It uses animal-based fining agents (gelatin for reds, casein for some whites), so its wines are not vegan, and no sustainability certifications are noted. The brand partners with Feeding America, aiming to provide millions of meals to families in need.
