Genre: 
Contemporary

When Chloe heads to Napa to stay with her sister for a “do-over’ in life, a Saturday wine train tour has her seeing things in a whole new way. Along for the tour is a group of bachelors squeezing in the future groom’s last outing. Chloe will be starting a new job as a winery host and feels as if she has a lot to learn. Lucky for her the train’s tour guide has a wealth of wine knowledge. Tony is part of the bachelor party and has ulterior motives for being in Napa. He’s been hired to find the vine responsible for an award-winning wine. Can Tony keep his reason for staying in the resort a secret or enlist help from an insider?

“Wine Thief” is a great read for wine lovers who like some mystery thrown in. Ms. Biliter has done her homework when it comes to all things wine making. The setting in Napa, California is well drawn and will pull readers in from the start. The characters are witty and easy to relate to. The added mystery and the undercover aspect to find a potential thief is icing on the cake. This entertaining read, although a lot of wine is consumed and Chloe can still function, may not be totally accurate, but it is still a wonderful and entertaining part of a series that stands alone and will send readers looking for the entire collection.
