This program looks at the importation of winemaking skills to America by the Spanish colonists, who were concerned that they had entered a world created by a devil that had no use for wine and its relationship to Christ. In 1524, grapevines were brought from Europe and planted in Mexico, but the weather proved to be too harsh. Cultivation of grapes in South America was more successful, but early attempts at winemaking in the Colonies were dismal. Not until the Franciscans moved North in California with cuttings from Mexico did wine-making find its place in America. After the Gold Rush of the 1800's, Chinese laborers worked the vineyards that would one day establish America as one of the premier winemaking countries of the world.
