"In Godforsaken Grapes", wine expert Jason Wilson embarks on a global journey to uncover forgotten and overlooked grape varieties often overshadowed by mainstream favorites like Chardonnay or Cabernet. Traveling from the mountains of Switzerland to remote Italian vineyards and even unexpected corners of the American Midwest, Wilson meets passionate vintners dedicated to preserving local grape heritage.
