Pairing Wine with Tofu

Here is a vegie-friendly place I just discovered. OrganicVintners.com is an online wine marketplace offering certified organic wines from around the world. The descriptions of the wines tell you which ones are vegan and many offer pairing suggestions for tofu dishes.

from the Organic Vintners website:
Vegan wines. Winemakers, both organic and conventional, are not obliged to declare on the label when they use animal by-products as fining agents to clarify wine. These include egg white (to brighten red wines), casein (a milk protein to make wine taste softer), gelatin (removes bitterness) and isinglass (derived from fish). A vegan wine, on the other hand, uses no animal products whatsoever.
