Lucie will help prove that murder is best served chilled on ice.Ĭalling all hop lovers. This sparkling vintage will take you back to the Prohibition Era complete with speakeasies and nefarious bootleggers. Love is in the air with Valentine’s Day, but Lucie finds herself immersed in history as she traces a murder from the past that leads to danger in the present. Winter is settling in on the family estate where Lucie and wine maker extraordinaire Quinn Santori are trying their hand at champagne. Next, we’re off to Virginia to pop open a bottle of bubbly with Lucie Montgomery. But, if you’re not careful you just might end up on the suspect list. You’ll feel like family at Mack’s bar where everyone knows your name. It’s not a surprise given that notorious criminal mastermind Al Capone was rumored to have not only frequented the joint, but perhaps even stashed evidence somewhere inside the bar’s historic walls.
However, her perceptive nose leads her straight to murder. Mackenzie aka Mack is a bar owner in Milwaukie, Wisconsin who has a rare neurological condition that gives her incredible Spidey senses. Sidle up to the bar and order yourself a stiff drink as you tag along with Mackenzie Dalton. This read has an added bouquet of a burgeoning romance between Nicki and vineyard owner Derek Malveaux that might leave you craving a lovely, blushing rosé. Stroll through the aromatic vines with a glass of Syrah as Nicki crushes the next batch of grapes and tries to track down a killer. Nicki has a penchant for fine wines and the bad luck of stumbling upon murder. Let’s start our cozy tour in the lush vineyards of Napa Valley where aspiring actress Nicki Sands has landed a gig working at the Malveaux Estate since her career in the film industry has hit a dead end. They just might inspire you to pull out a stainless-steel shaker, that wedding stemware that’s been collecting dust, or a pewter pint glass as you try to piece together whodunit. They understand that a crisp buttery chardonnay is the perfect accompaniment for an afternoon porch read on a sweltering summer day, or how slowly sipping a hot toddy in front of a crackling fire can add a touch of coziness on a stormy winter evening. The sleuths in these series have a focus on the art of their craft. Not to worry, none of these reads feature hardboiled detectives who can polish off an entire bottle of scotch in one sitting. Ditch the knitting and take a tasting tour of earthy red wines, hoppy ales, and signature cocktails.
Here’s a list of some of my favorite boozy reads. In my opinion there’s nothing cozier than a mystery paired with a drink meant to be savored.
