Peter Mayle
Set in Hollywood, Paris, Bordeaux, and Marseille, Peter Mayle’s newest and most delightful novel is filled with culinary delights, sumptuous wines, and colorful characters. It’s also a lot of fun.The story begins high above Los Angeles, at the extravagant home and equally impressive wine cellar of entertainment lawyer Danny Roth. Unfortunately, after inviting the Los Angeles Times to write an extensive profile extolling the liquid treasures of his collection, Roth finds himself the victim of a world-class wine heist.
Enter 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, bien sûr, 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.
The 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. Even the most sophisticated of oenophiles will learn a thing or two from this vintage work by a beloved author.

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Vintage Caper?
I particularly liked the descriptions of Marseille...and the descriptions of the cellar...the planning of the caper was quite good.Which character – as performed by Erik Davies – was your favorite?
Sam's a cool character, but Phillippe and Sophie were a great addition.Another charmer from Peter Mayle

I have a feeling that Mr. Mayle smiles a lot when he writes! It comes through in his books.
One minor criticism is the endings.. Alas, all good things must come to an end; but I find that most of Mr. Mayle's books end rather abruptly. I have always had the feeling that there should be an epiloge or at lest a little more time wrapping up loose ends. THE VINTAGE CAPER does actually address this issue a lot better; and for that I was pleased.
Tres Bon

Fabulous!

Eric Davies is a good narrator in many instances, though too large a percentage of Mayle's nuance and humor is lost in his reading. There are also some painful mispronunciations which I cannot believe the director didn't catch and mandate a "re-do".
Overall, I loved it.
Great Story, Pure Peter Mayle

I thought the reader was excellent in making the various characters come alive, especially the ones in France. Definitely recommended for the right group. It's more fun if you've been to Marseille, and we just returned from a month's trip.
Lots of fun if you like wine and France
