From the author of One Foot in the Grape--a new full-bodied Cypress Cove mystery that is certain to delight, even if one wine lover is about to expire... Penny Lively loves running her family's winery, but to keep business growing, she needs to find a way to attract more guests. When she's approached to invest in a new train line through wine country, Penny and her intoxicating winery manager, Connor, hightail it to a lavish resort to hear the details. Unfortunately, her neighbor's daughter, Chantal, is also there, swirling up trouble by flirting with the married investors--and with Connor too. When one of the investors' wives is murdered, Chantal, who was seen fighting with the woman, is the prime suspect. Chantal may be a sour grape, but she's no killer. So Penny, who's become a sleuthing connoisseur, starts sniffing out the real suspect--and discovers that her fellow potential investors have been savoring more than their share of deadly secrets...
