The new American diner flies solo However, on the Facebook page of another Napa winemaker, a man who appears to be Knox said he wrote the Two Buck Chuck post three years ago for Quora. CNBC's efforts to reach Knox were unsuccessful, though it appears he works in some capacity in the wine industry in Santa Ynez, California.

"When the wine's fermenting, they're going to eliminate anything that's possibly there." "If you worry about things like that, you shouldn't eat anything, you shouldn't drink anything," Franzia said. Some animal matter does end up in winemaking, as it does in almost all agricultural products. "We're looking for quality wines and quality grapes. "We're in the grape-picking business," he said. ![]() He insists the machines shake loose everything but the grapes, and there are other methods along the way to filter out leaves, twigs and animal residue.
