Synopsis

"New York-based wine critic Thomas Baldwin can make or break careers with his column for Taste magazine. But when his publisher orders him to spend a year profiling rising stars of California's wine county and organizing a competition between big name wineries of Napa and the smaller artisan wineries of Sonoma, his world gets turned upside down by an enigmatic young winemaker who puts art before business. Sotto Voce is the story of love and wine, and how both require patience, passion, an acceptance of change - and an understanding that sometimes you have to let nature take its course."--Publisher's description.
