Inspired by real events within the multibillion-dollar global wine industry Noble Rot: A Case of Sour Grapes is an explosive tale of jealousy, revenge, sex, and blackmail with more twists than a corkscrew.

A French count, owner of an ancient family vineyard in Burgundy, is struggling to survive, pressed by the sophisticated know-how and slick marketing techniques of huge new-world competitors with larger estates, bigger budgets, and products that are winning gold medals and international press.

​

Among them is a vineyard whose international success the count particularly resents for personal reasons. Jealous of his archrival’s success, the count hires a professional saboteur to strike a blow that will ruin their reputation and cost them millions.

​

Will the elusive saboteur be hunted down before the cork is out of the bottle and an entire industry is destroyed. He’s done it before, he can do it again.

​

The word on the grapevine is your next glass may be your last gasp.
