Book excerpt: "Virginia Wine Country" describes [the Virginia] wineries; the founders and their philosophies, their vineyards, and the wines they produce. Not a taster's guide (judging the wines is left to the reader), the book is more than a tour of the regions of Virignia in which these wines are produced. In addition to descriptions of the wineries, the authors offer a sampling of inns and restaurants that serve these fine wines and (what is wine without the appropriate cuisine to accompany it?) more than one hundred forty favorite recipes of the restaurants and wineries themselves. -- From publisher's description.

Book excerpt: Handy Guide to Virginia Wineries introduces readers to Virginia's wine regions and wineries in one easy-to-read and accessible package. By providing a description of the wineries, detailing the wines they offer, and including prices that specify the tasting fee as well as the cost of the wine, it offers all the basic information potential visitors will need. The guide also covers special occasions sponsored by the wineries, such as live music, festivals, and charity events, as well as whether children and pets are welcome to the winery or if the winery is available to rent for parties or weddings. More than fifty maps show the precise location of the wineries, which is particularly useful for those located in regions where GPS coverage is often spotty or selects a route of unpaved and narrow mountain roads. An up-to-date directory, tour guide, and excellent source of reference, this book is geared to adults with an interest in wine and in exploring Virginia. With the fifth largest number of wineries in the U.S., Virginia's wine country is being discovered by more and more tourists and wine lovers from all over America.

Book excerpt: A rich romp through untold American history featuring fabulous characters, The Wild Vine is the tale of a little-known American grape that rocked the fine-wine world of the nineteenth century and is poised to do so again today. Author Todd Kliman sets out on an epic quest to unravel the mystery behind Norton, a grape used to make a Missouri wine that claimed a prestigious gold medal at an international exhibition in Vienna in 1873. At a time when the vineyards of France were being ravaged by phylloxera, this grape seemed to promise a bright future for a truly American brand of wine-making, earthy and wild. And then Norton all but vanished. What happened? The narrative begins more than a hundred years before California wines were thought to have put America on the map as a wine-making nation and weaves together the lives of a fascinating cast of renegades. We encounter the suicidal Dr. Daniel Norton, tinkering in his experimental garden in 1820s Richmond, Virginia. Half on purpose and half by chance, he creates a hybrid grape that can withstand the harsh New World climate and produce good, drinkable wine, thus succeeding where so many others had failed so fantastically before, from the Jamestown colonists to Thomas Jefferson himself. Thanks to an influential Long Island, New York, seed catalog, the grape moves west, where it is picked up in Missouri by German immigrants who craft the historic 1873 bottling. Prohibition sees these vineyards burned to the ground by government order, but bootleggers keep the grape alive in hidden backwoods plots. Generations later, retired Air Force pilot Dennis Horton, who grew up playing in the abandoned wine caves of the very winery that produced the 1873 Norton, brings cuttings of the grape back home to Virginia. Here, dot-com-millionaire-turned-vintner Jenni McCloud, on an improbable journey of her own, becomes Norton’s ultimate champion, deciding, against all odds, to stake her entire reputation on the outsider grape. Brilliant and provocative, The Wild Vine shares with readers a great American secret, resuscitating the Norton grape and its elusive, inky drink and forever changing the way we look at wine, America, and long-cherished notions of identity and reinvention.

Book excerpt: The death of a former presidential candidate in a fiery car crash at her Virginia vineyard has ties to a thirty year-old murder, as well as to Lucie Montgomery’s own near fatal accident ten years ago, as she searches for a killer who now may be stalking her. When Jamison Vaughn—billionaire real estate mogul, Virginia vineyard owner, and unsuccessful U.S. presidential candidate—drives his gold SUV into a stone pillar at the entrance to Montgomery Estate Vineyard, Lucie Montgomery is certain the crash was deliberate. But everyone else in Atoka, Virginia is equally sure that Jamie must have lost control of his car on a rain-slicked country road. In spite of being saddled with massive campaign debts from the recent election, Jamie is seemingly the man with the perfect life. What possible reason could he have for committing suicide . . . or was it murder? Before long Lucie uncovers a connection between Jamie and some of his old friends—an elite group of academics—and the brutal murder thirty years ago of a brilliant PhD student. Although a handyman is on death row for the crime, Lucie soon suspects someone else is guilty. But the investigation into the two deaths throws Lucie a curve ball when someone from her own past becomes involved, forcing her to confront old demons. Now the race to solve the mystery behind the two deaths becomes intensely personal as Lucie realizes someone wants her silenced . . . for good. The Vineyard Victims is a nominee for the 2018 Mary Higgins Clark Award.
