The Vintage Error: A Darcy Bell Wine Country Mystery, (Paperback)

<p>When wine label designer Darcy Bell notices a single misplaced digit on the most prestigious bottle ever released by Blackwater Ridge Vineyard, she assumes it is nothing more than a printing oversight. But the vintage year in question-1986-is tied to a harvest whispered about only in fragments among the older workers, a season marked by ruin, scandal, and a sudden fortune that saved the vineyard from collapse.</p><p>Before Darcy can learn why the mistake matters so much, the vineyard's meticulous archivist, Roland Venter, is found dead in the underground barrel vault beside a stack of sealed crates dating back to that very harvest.</p><p>Everyone insists Roland's death was a tragic accident. Everyone except Darcy.</p><p>Armed with an artist's eye for tiny inconsistencies and surrounded by a close-knit wine community where gossip travels faster than the mountain winds, Darcy uncorks decades of secrets involving forged records, hidden ownership deals, and a harvest that should never have existed at all.</p><p>But in a valley where reputation is worth more than gold, someone is willing to kill to keep the truth buried beneath the dust of the cellar.</p>
