An ace in the high-powered world of London international banking, Max Skinner lives a life of greed, deals and money. But when he learns his beloved Uncle Henry has died, Max is forced to stand still for a moment. Henry has left Max his vineyard in Provence, France. Upon arrival, Max hopes for a quick resolution and, possibly, a nice profit. Yet his uncle's carefree legacy has seeped into soil of this enchanting estate, of which Max has so many memories, kept until now at a safe distance. He is faced head-on with Henry's stubborn winemaker, a beautiful French restaurateur and a plucky young American who claims to be Henry's long-lost daughter. Uncle Henry said that a good wine is incapable of lying; amid the vines, Max unwittingly searches for a truth that creeps upon him like the warmth of a rosé embracing you in the afternoon sun. — K.
