Discounted FESTIVAL OF FORGOTTEN GRAPES Local Winetasting Event!

Most every regular wine drinker knows Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Merlot, Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Grigio and Pinot Noir. But are you familiar with Semillon, Cinsault, Teroldego, Nebbiolo, and Marsanne? With more than 110 unique wine varieties grown in California alone, The Festival of Forgotten Grapes celebrates the unknown “underdog” grapes of California wine and showcases the winemakers from across the state who share and spread the Forgotten Grapes love with every bottle they make. https://festivalofforgottengrapes.com/

This unique wine festival event will take place just outside the downtown L.A. arts district on the fringe of Boyle Heights at the historic MICA Studios in a beautifully preserved neoclassical 1926 building that was the original home of the Southwest Lithograph Company. Over the decades, this diverse site has served from being a storage facility for Liberace's pianos to a prominent film location for the movie The Crow 2 as well as Beyoncé’s unforgettable 'Crazy In Love' music video.
