Mystery Culinary

In between enjoying sumptuous food and wine, the Winemaker Detective grapples with deceit and deception in Old World Europe. Franceโ€™s top wine expert Benjamin Cooker sets off to enjoy the delights of Vienna, a romantic ride down the Danube, a gourmandโ€™s visit to Budapest, and a luxury train through the enchanting Hungarian countryside. All too soon, stolen wallets, disappearing passports, guides who are a bit too obliging, and murder mar the trip.

Meanwhile, in Bordeaux, Cookerโ€™s assistant handsome Virgile faces an annoying rival and a mildew crisis in the vineyards just as Cookerโ€™s lab technician is the victim of a mugging. If you love cozy culinary mysteries, amateur detective stories, international mysteries with French flair, or anything wine-related, this made-for-TV series offers armchair travel at its best with gentle mysteries.
