A Night in the Vine

¿"I believe wine speaks. If we listen carefully,¿we can hear the poetry of man stirring in thevineyard leaves and witness a masterpiece of¿ light and shade descending on the vines."¿PATRICIA MAHON¿"I enjoyed this one...¿Anyone reading it should see and taste and feelthe earth in a deeper way, and be enriched by it..."¿ANNE PERRY¿(1938-2023), British Author¿A NIGHT IN THE VINECentral California's bucolic Santa Ynez valley erupts into a massive rainstorm, ¿transforming a picturesque wine trail into rivers of runoff, liquified mud ¿and gravel. Six wine tasters become trapped in the idyllic estate of a sprawling ¿vineyard.¿Forced to endure nature's wrath overnight, they drink from the vineyard's bounty; ¿each glass yielding admissions, confessions, and angst, in turn. As the night ¿unfolds, the characters evolve-seemingly infused by the earth's "muted ¿archeology" and we witness the rebirth of pure collective consciousness.¿PATRICIA MAHON
