A surprising murder mystery, Sophia and her long line of Gambelli family are doing their best to protect their wine buisness as competition and old ties try to ruin everything they have. Because at the time I was working on a art project with wine and one of my teachers just recently told us about their secret passion for wine tasting I decided a book about wine would only be appropiate. It amazes me how much work goes into producing and marketing wine; alot of issues Sophie and her family come across through the course of the book. As the murderer gets anxious and more risky one of the first issues that erupts is the production of tainted bottles. Just a few in a case doesnt seem like it will affect a buisness; the poisen not even strong enough to kill, but even this small problem brings the buiness to ruins. They loes sponsers, buisness, money to make sure all products are checked and returned, and liability. Sophie has to work nonstop to make sure she keeps the name Gambialli respected--something that is alot harder to do then it seems to be. Aside from the whole mystery and plot capturing interest, The Villa really taught me alot about wine. Acidity affects, soil types, and how greatly weather can change the whole taste of the grapes that are essentially the wine. Running a buisness purley on chance that the end product is just as great as it was inticipated to be seems entirley impossible, but their are so many great vinyards and owners that go through these issues and buisness everyday. I believe this is really a great book and can open new interests to anyone.
