What is your favorite forgotten grape? Grenache

What was your first experience with a forgotten grape? My inspiration wine was 1998 Clos du Pape. The first wine I made was 2003 Alta Mesa Vineyard, Santa Barbara County, Grenache.

What do you love most about the forgotten grapes? I appreciate the opportunity to share lesser known varietals with people and see and hear their reactions when they taste something for the first time.
