panThis would've been a good book if the author had focused exclusively on the arson case. It seemed as if she didn't have enough material to write exclusively on the arson, so she also wrote about everything else, spending two-thirds of the book writing about the entire history of the wine region. She should have stuck to the arson story, even if it meant writing a long article instead of a book. #2025Book21
pickFascinating, a bit slow in places, but if you are a wine lover or interested in the history of wine, this book may be right for you. Following the wine tasting that changed the world of wine, this looks at the history of California wine and what happened when they beat the best French wines in France in 1976. I savored this one! #Doublespin #BookspinBingo @TheAromaofBooks

Reading next for my movie/book club. So far it's just ehh.

I‘m enjoying my visit with my sister. I‘m staying with her this weekend after her cataract surgery. I‘m a little nervous about leaving tomorrow and having her drive herself. Next week I come back for surgery her other eye!
Luckily my son lives in the same town, so I got to see him also.
I‘m reading Eight Hundred Grapes 🍇 🍷 and enjoying it.

Eight Hundred Grapes 🍇 was the 1st book of this author that I wanted to read- but it turned out to be the 3rd book of hers that I‘m reading. She may be becoming a favorite author of mine!
Did you know it takes 800 grapes to make one bottle of wine? 🍇 🍷 🍇
