Rogue Valley Genealogical Society Presents, “Nectar of the Gods: The Mysteries and Histories of Rogue Valley”
V itis californica, a wild grape species also known as California wild grape, Northern California grape, and Pacific grape, has grown wild here since time immemorial. Its fermented, fruity, alcoholic brew has long graced our tables. And Vitis vinifera, Europe’s cultivated varietals, brought new opportunities and expectations. At the Rogue Valley Genealogical Society’s February Program & Members meeting, Author, Researcher and SOU Sociology/Anthropology faculty member, Maureen Battistella presents “Nectar of the Gods: The Mysteries and Histories of Rogue Valley.” The age of modern wine-making was born in Southern Oregon in the 1960s and 70s. While Rogue Valley wineries are well known and their stories often told, Maureen will share with you their back stories – the
mysteries and histories that intrigue the mind, engage the imagination and delight the palate. A remote tasting is planned as part of this Zoom presentation to demonstrate the evolution and sophistication of today’s award-winning Southern Oregon wines. Participants, if they choose, can join in the remote tasting to understand the nuance of wine, its structure and nose. This event, as are all RVGS Program & Member meetings, is free and open to the public. Tuesday, February 16, 1:30pm to 3:00pm. A short members meeting will be held prior to the program.
