FIRST IN A NEW SERIES! A deadly search for sour grapes . . . Norrie Ellington is a successful screenwriter living in New York City. She’s also been a silent partner for her family’s winery upstate—until her sister and brother-in-law take a year-long sabbatical. With an experienced staff doing the work, Norrie figures Two Witches Winery will run itself while she enjoys the countryside and writes in peace and quiet. Unfortunately, there’s a sour grape in the town of Penn Yan who doesn’t care for vineyards. Bed and breakfast owner Elsbeth Waters complains to everyone who’ll listen that the local wineries are bad for her business. But when Elsbeth’s body is found on Norrie’s property, the victim of foul play, the screenwriter-turned-vintner dons a sleuthing cap to uncover the identity of a killer who told the B&B proprietress to put a cork in it—permanently . . .
"Finding a murderer requires 100% proof. In Seneca Lake, New York, Norrie Ellington's Two Witches Winery has been selected by the local vintner community to host the annual Federweisser, a celebration of the season's first fermentation of white Chardonnay grapes. But the festivities are spoiled when Norrie learns that landowner Roy Wilkes has raised her neighbor Rosalee Marbleton's rent so high, she may have to close her vineyard. Before the rent hike could go into effect, Wilkes is found dead on Roslaee's property'stabbed by a flowerpot stake'and she becomes the police's number one suspect. To clear her friend's name, Norrie conducts her own investigation. But as she gathers clues, Norrie finds herself targeted by a killer, and if she's not careful, her desire to see justice done may die on the vine..."--page 4 of cover.
There's a lot of noir surrounding this rare pinot.As the vineyards in Seneca Lake, New York, prepare for the seasonal "Deck the Halls Around the Lake" festivities, someone is determined to keep pinot noir off the wine list. Hijacked trucks and sabotaged ingredients have made it a hard-to-acquire vintage for the six local wineries-including Norrie Ellington's Two Witches Winery.The case of the stolen and spoiled wines gets stranger when Arnold Mowen, owner of the company distributing the wine, is found dead, the apparent victim of a hunting accident. As Norrie tries to find the connections between the pinot's problems and Arnold's death, she uncovers a conspiracy among many locals whose hatred for the wine distributor was bottled up for far too long. . .
Includes an excerpt of the author's, Dressed up 4 murder, part of the Sophie Kimball mystery series.
You can't plant traminette if you're behind bars . . . When reluctant winery owner Norrie Ellington is gifted with cockroach DNA, she thinks things couldn't get worse. But then the body of a noted developer is found at a neighboring winery, and all fingers point to her friend Madeline Martinez. It doesn't help that Madeline was seen having verbal altercations with the man on two different occasions when he outbid her for lakefront property she planned to use for planting traminette grapes.It's no wonder Madeline has found herself behind bars, and worse yet, someone is gunning for Norrie.
