Description:
Blacksburg Wine Lab their January Book Club with the book "Godforsaken Grapes" by Jason Wilson on Saturday, January 17, 2026.

Join us for the Wine Lab Book Club tasting and discussing featuring Jason Wilson's "Godforsaken Grapes".

"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. Blending travelogue, cultural insight, and wine expertise, he explores why some grapes thrive while others are nearly lost to history, making a compelling case for expanding our palates and celebrating the strange, unique, and delicious wines that lie off the beaten path.

The cost is $40.00 per person.
