Here's a bit more about the books:
 Blood is Thicker than Beaujolais
Wine writer Ezra Brant and his wife Connie travel to the remote French
village of Haut St. Antoine for a relaxing vacation while Ezra reports
on the release of the Beaujolais Nouveau. But after a visit to a local
cave cellar Ezra ends up reporting a body to the police instead.
Troubled by the apparent lack of interest in finding the murderer and
the village's silence about the victim, Ezra gets on the case – much
to Connie's chagrin. While the other tourists join in the idyllic harvest
celebration, Ezra and Connie are drawn relentlessly into a dangerous web
of murder, fraud and international intrigue.
 The Beast of Barbaresco
For wine writer Ezra Brant, the trip to the picturesque Piedmontese village
of Barbaresco to help judge the annual wine competition was supposed to
be a restful interlude – despite all the talk of a serial killer
the locals have dubbed "the Beast."
But when a fellow wine writer disappears without a trace, Ezra has no
choice but to investigate. Could his colleague have become the latest
victim of the Beast? Or does his disappearance have to do with a story
he had been pursuing? Ezra puts his wine knowledge to work in finding
the truth, in spite of all the obstacles set before him... including a
charming Irish redhead.
 Death on the Douro
When Matthew Sykes, scion of an old port shipping family, extends an invitation
to wine writer Ezra Brant to attend his quinta's bicentennial celebration
in Oporto, Ezra is delighted to accept. An all-expenses-paid trip to sunny
Portugal is just what he needs, and the visit will dovetail nicely with
his research for a book on the history of port wine.
But when Ezra arrives, he finds his friend Sykes has more on his mind
than the anniversary fete. A series of strange and sinister incidents
around the Quinta San Pedro point to a deliberate attempt to derail the
big party. When murder becomes part of the picture, Ezra becomes more
determined than ever to find out what really lies behind the events.
