I could not recommend this book highly enough for our group. Whether you are a cork dork, passing oenophile, or just like drinking alcoholic grape juice, it reads like a mystery novel (but it’s true!). This is a great mini-review:

The Billionaire’s Vinegar is the ultimate page-turner. Written with literary intelligence, it has a cast of characters like something out of Fawlty Towers meets The Departed. It takes you into a subculture so deep and delicious, you can almost taste the wine that turns so many seemingly rational people into madmen. It is superb nonfiction.

— BUZZ BISSINGER, author of Friday Night Lights
