Shadows in the Vineyard by Maximillian Potter

Who? Maximillian Potter

What? Fine wine enthusiasts will certainly be familiar with Domaine de la Romanée Conti, one of the best known Burgundy estates in the world. Maximillian Potter’s new book, Shadows in the Vineyard, focuses on the crime that took place in 2010 when DRC’s proprietor was threatened with the destruction of his vineyards. The book captures “the true story of a plot to poison the world’s greatest wine” and is perhaps one of the most anticipated wine books of the year.
