It's also a lot of fun.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe story begins high above Los Angeles, at the extravagant home and equally impressive wine cellar of entertainment lawyer Danny Roth. Unfortunately, after inviting the \u003ci\u003eLos Angeles Times\u003c\/i\u003e to write an extensive profile extolling the liquid treasures of his collection, Roth finds himself the victim of a world-class wine heist.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEnter Sam Levitt, former corporate lawyer, cultivated crime expert, and wine connoisseur. Called in by Roth's insurance company, which is now saddled with a multimillion-dollar claim, Sam follows his leads-to Bordeaux and its magnificent vineyards, and to Provence to meet an eccentric billionaire collector who might possibly have an interest in the stolen wines. Along the way, \u003ci\u003ebien sûr,\u003c\/i\u003e he is joined by a beautiful and erudite French colleague, and together they navigate many a château, pausing frequently to enjoy the countryside's abundant pleasures.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe unraveling of the ingenious crime is threaded through with Mayle's seductive rendering of France's sensory delights-from a fine Lynch-Bages and Léoville Barton to the bouillabaisse of Marseille and the young lamb of Bordeaux.
