EXCERPT: "Some of the stories take place in beautifully landscaped vineyards with idyllic scenery that is described by Kristof so vividly it’s easy to immerse one’s self visually into the rich settings. Most of stories do not center around winemaking or winemakers, though many include crafty references to the wine varietal at the heart of the story’s name. All of the stories feature unique and memorable characters who Kristof somehow manages to develop quite fully, despite the page limitations of a short story. The same goes for the plots which unwind quickly, yet maintain enough depth and detail to engage the reader fully."
