Before the movies, before aerospace and oranges and oil, there was wine. This episode explores a largely forgotten age when winemaking was Southern California’s principal industry. We’ll pick grapes from the oldest vines in Los Angeles, learn about the laborers who built the industry, and meet enterprising winemakers who are resurrecting a long-lost Southern California tradition.
