For our second event of the year, I invited the French Winophiles crew to track down some 'godforsaken grapes' and create a pairing. You can read my invitation:  You're Invited: Indigenous and Godforsaken French Grapes . Last month, the #WinePW discussed godforsaken grapes from anywhere in the world.

You can see that line-up in my post for that event,  An Unlikely Match: A Thai Favorite + A Qvevri-Aged Wine from the Republic of Georgia . This month, the #Winophiles are looking specifically as grapes in that category from France only!
