Houma native Edwin Lodrigue was a man on a mission. Back in 2016, he wanted to find a way for his wife to enjoy wine without allergic reactions.
“She was really allergic to the histamine and sulfites, so we had to filter the wine. I m thinking, why do all that when we can just make it ourselves without any harmful chemicals? At first, I didn t know what I was doing,” Lodrigue said, “So we learned from our mistakes over and over and over. It s like sharpening knives.”
His Lodrigue Wines now offers small-batch, handcrafted bottles of wine made from Ponchatoula strawberries sourced from Fletcher Strawberry Farm and all-Louisiana ingredients. Each bottle costs $25.
