Join us as Dr. Whitney Nell Steward, the society’s Executive Director shares how the particularities of southern soil, climate, topography, and labor shaped the long and bumpy road to realizing the centuries-old dream of American wine. In particular, Dr. Stewart will guide us through the high hopes and dashed dreams, the persistent failures and remarkable successes of Georgian winemakers in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.
During this interactive event, you will hear the stories and be able to tasting various twenty-first-century wines that will illuminate how something frivolous as a fermented beverage reveals new insights into our nation’s most important debates over economic, political, cultural, and even moral questions.
Due to the nature of this program, we have limited space for attendees.
