There are nearly 1,400 known varieties of wine grapes in the world—from altesse to zierfandler—but 80 percent of the wine we drink is made from only 20 grapes. In 2014, Robert Parker infamously wrote an essay disparaging the exploration of the lesser known grapes he chose to call "Godforsaken Grapes" launching a movement of wine professionals highlighting the virtues of fine wines made from rare, native grapes around the world.

Join us for a casual seated wine class where we will discuss some of our our Wine Director, Erin Dudley's favorite lesser-known grapes of France while sipping the best of France's Godforsaken Grapes at Josephine!

Included with your ticket:

• Seated wine class with Neighborhood Restaurant Group Wine Director, Erin Dudley
• Tasting of six fine wines from France
• Small serving of artisanal cheese and accoutrements
