When flamboyant senior sleuth Sadie Kramer learns the owner of Cioccolato, her favorite chocolate shop, is in trouble, she heads for the California wine country with a tote-bagged Yorkie and a slew of questions. The fourth generation Tremiato Winery promises answers, but not before a dead body turns up at the vintners’ scheduled Harvest Festival.
All four Tremiato siblings have possible motives, as well as a few peripheral acquaintances, but only one could be the guilty party. As Sadie juggles truffles, tips and turmoil, she’ll need to sort the grapes from the wrath in order to find the identity of the killer.

MY REVIEW OF A Flair for Chardonnay
Sadie Kramer was worried about her friend Matteo. She knew little about his family or their wine business, except that he was considered the black sheep and looked down upon by the family. So, Sadie takes a weekend vacation to do a little unbiased snooping without the family knowing of her friendship to Matteo. Her first night in town, a murder occurs at the winery, incriminating a family member. As evidence mounts, Sadie becomes worried about how much Matteo is involved.
I loved Sadie’s flamboyant style. Dressing the way she did, it’s hard to imagine her picking clothes out for others. But she had such a carefree style, you can’t help but love her. It was baffling trying to figure out who the guilty one was with everyone acting guilty. I always enjoy the way this author describes the scenery, how she brings it alive. It makes me want to be there enjoying it too.
