There are nearly 1,400 known varieties of wine grapes in the world—from altesse to zierfandler—but 80% of the wine we drink is made from only 20 grapes. In Godforsaken Grapes, Jason Wilson looks at how that came to be and embarks on a journey to discover what we miss.
All wine book club books can be purchased at the local book shop - Old Town Books! So, support an Alexandria small-business and pick up Adventures on the Wine Route at Old Town Books before joining us for the tasting!
At this tasting, they will discuss the stories told in the book while tasting the wines made with the grapes described.
