Jupiter's Blood (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781663260352)

American wine expert, Dante Lombardi, is struggling to come to terms with his best friend's suicide. His world is further upended when his ex, Dr. Claire Durant, introduces him to a synthetic lab-made wine she's developed. Replivino can pass for the finest wines produced by the world's best winemakers at a fraction of the cost. When Claire and her company's 'Vino Code' disappear, however, Dante must put his feelings for what he deems frankenwine aside and rush to Europe to find her. But Dante isn't the only one looking for Claire as she pursues her own agenda to pop the cork on the traditional world of wine. So too is a ruthless wine counterfeiter. In a race across Europe, Dante must rely on his French and Italian wine industry connections, partner with new allies and old adversaries, and plumb the depths of his memory cellar to find Claire. Can he do so in time to save the global wine industry from ruin in the face of mass commoditization?
