Every era has its outcasts: grapes abandoned, forgotten, or out of vogue. In this class, we celebrate the ultimate underdogs: ancient varieties pulled back from the brink of extinction and once-ridiculed grapes reclaiming the spotlight. From rare indigenous survivors rescued by dedicated winemakers to the triumphant rehabilitation of Merlot and beyond, these wines prove that wine has a long memory. Second acts never tasted so good.
