Who would have thought that a house showing on New Year’s Eve could end in such chaos? When a realtor, a bank president, a pregnant couple, a kindly old lady and a house-flipping duo end up in a hostage situation after a nearby bank robbery goes awry, detectives have a hard time figuring out exactly what happened and how the stories of these people intertwine. Some characters are hidden away in a closet (with red wine and a corkscrew) and demands are made for fireworks and pizza, so we have chosen to find the perfect red wine pairing for pizza! Surprise, surprise, it is, in fact Italian. From the soil created by the most active volcano in Europe, Mt. Etna, we have 2018 Tenuta delle Terre Nere Etna Rosso and much like our book’s characters, we find that struggling to survive makes grapes better and richer. In the book we learn that humor is the soul’s last line of defense; often natural cork from Portugal is wine’s last line of defense. Cin Cin!
