Chasselas. Frappato. Xinomavro. Malvasia Volcanica. Plavic Mali. Godello. Cunoise. If these words sound like gibberish, they're not! They're the names of a handful of wine grapes that you hardly ever hear about or find on the shelf in your local wine store. Join us in September as we celebrate being in the throes of the 2024 harvest and let's learn about a handful of rare and fascinating grapes! You'll get to try six different unique wines or blends from around the globe, and learn some of the amazing history behind these grapes and their home regions.
