Thomas Jefferson famously declared that wine was “a necessary of life." In this livestream we explore how Jefferson became one the most knowledgeable wine connoisseurs of his age with a Q&A with Thomas Jefferson, interpreted by our own Bill Barker. We discuss Jefferson's taste in wine, his (unsuccessful) dream of wine made from Monticello-grown grapes, and the enslaved people who served wine and grew grape vines at Monticello.
