THIS WEEK’S 4TH OF JULY SPECIAL
In this week’s special Fourth of July edition, we’re thrilled to welcome back a long-time friend of Grape Encounters Radio, Chris Kern Chris is the founder of Chris Kern’s Forgotten Grapes. With his podcast, intriguing website, and one-of-a-kind wine club that spotlights unusual or rare grape varietals, Chris is a true connoisseur of the vineyards less traveled.
This episode takes us on an intriguing journey through the 13 original colonies at the time of America’s birth. We’ll highlight the unique grapes and wines of these regions that have been pleasing palates for centuries. Many of these varietals, unfamiliar to most Americans, have been thriving long before George Washington’s wooden teeth started turning purple. Some were here long before 2-legged creatures. With Chris’s expertise and mind-boggling insight, we’ll take a metaphorical deep dive into a pool filled with the juice of America’s forgotten grapes and the delectable wines they produce.
