This is book three in the Wine Country Series that has Lucie Montgomery running her familys Virginia vineyard.

After Valier Beauvais has a rather heated argument she is found dead in Lucies estate. Though death is nothing new to the Montgomery Vineyard, but this is surrounding the mysterious circumstances of a bottle of priceless Washington Bordeaux; you know the wine that was a gift between Thomas Jefferson and George Washington (you remember your wine history, right) Lucie is to get to the bottom of this murder and save the reputation of her vineyard before the auction that will either make or break her reputation and a local charity.

This book goes a little deeper into wine history which on the surface can be a bit interesting, especially when you get an added lesson on red wines. Unfortunately, the whole circumstance on why Valerie is murdered in the first place is a bit ridiculous. It was rather contrived and seemed as if Cosby was grasping at straws.

On a higher note, Cosby does do a little more personality development and reoccurring characters have their rather secretive pasts explained.

Third book in Ellen Crosby's Wine Country Murders. Very enjoyable story set in the Virginia wine country. Vineyard owner Lucie Montgomery wants to learn more about the origins of a very old bottle of wine which was donated to her charity auction. The very special bottle of Bordeaux supposedly was purchased by Thomas Jefferson as a gift for George Washington. Early in the story, a wine expert is killed in a suspicious car accident. Lucie's main concern is determining if the bottle of Bordeaux is genuine or not, she feels that the suspicious death is somehow related.

Great characters and setting! I also enjoyed the information about wine making.
