About the Book
Pinot Envy by Edward
Finstein is a spine-tingling and fun filled whodunit mystery novel set in
beautiful Napa Valley, the best of San Francisco and the surrounding Bay Area.
In Pinot Envy, we
meet detective Woody Robins, who is a quirky, loveable, bon-vivant, wine guru
with a passion for vintage clothes and music, who specializes in investigatory
work involving rare artifacts of a vinous nature. Hired to solve a case
regarding a stolen rare and priceless bottle of red burgundy that is said to
have been the personal vintage of French emperor, Napoleon Bonaparte, he finds
himself wrapped up in more than he anticipated.
Tested by a colorful cast of characters, deceit, blackmail,
intrigue, dealings with the mob and even murder, even the man who hires Woody
has a few secrets of his own and his family has even more.
Aided by his dozy boyhood sidekick, his girlfriend, aunt and
detective buddy with the San Francisco police, Woody embarks on a case of a
lifetime and in the process learns a thing or two about himself.
With beautifully written scenic landscapes of wine country
and descriptions so clear, lively and extremely crisp, you can almost taste the
wine while reading the book. This fun mystery book lets the reader learn about
wine while solving a mystery.
Written by the “Wine Doctor” himself, Edward Finstein, this
book is full of wine knowledge without the snobbery and mystery without the
over-kill. Perfect for a fun summer read with a glass of your favorite wine!
“…this is one book
that hits on all cylinders: humor, mystery, adventure—the author has certainly
put his years of experience and knowledge in the wine industry to great use.”
