Oops! Right then. This novel was published in 2016 and I believe is the author's first novel.

I enjoyed it a lot! Not a serious read - a mix of some likely very real stories of wine trading, mixed with the story of a chancer. Will bring my copy to the next tasting and you can enjoy!

Last week I was singing a track from a "classic" album which mentioned a well-known person. Shortly afterwards the same well-known person appeared in the news. What song was I singing?
