Pouring forth with all the spicy flavors and vivid color of a fine, aged Merlot comes an intoxicating tale of an Italian family in an awakening California wine country, shortly after the repeal of Prohibition. Lloyd Pedersen has crafted a moving story of romance and intrigue which provides the background for a powerful study of the human condition. The author's thirty-year career as a Treasury agent supervising legitimate wineries adds an unmistakable richness to the work. Against the fascinating background of the birth of the modern wine industry, Uncle Louie, patriarch of the Morello wine dynasty, holds sway over his quarrelsome family, the massive stone winery cellars and the vast vineyards which comprise their kingdom. Obese, outwardly jovial and scrupulous, Louie is not above putting over a sweet deal at the expense of another. It never occurs to him that his nephew Antonio might share some of those same talents. A scandal brews when young federal agent Jo! el Marlow, during a routine examination of winery operations, makes a discovery that threatens the foundation of the Morello empire and, ultimately, Joel himself. Blended with the taut action of the book is Joel's romance with the beautiful but troubled Karen. This erupts into waves of emotion and uncertainty, a suspenseful thread that parallels the relentless course of the investigation. In his debut novel a master storyteller reveals an irresistibly juicy taste for undercurrents, plots-within-plots and the foibles of human nature. With the historical sweep of a unique time and place, The Vintage portrays a multi-level drama of a family's twisted passion for life and for the wine.
