In between enjoying sumptuous food and wine, the
Winemaker Detective grapples with deceit and deception in
Old World Europe. France’s top wine expert Benjamin
Cooker sets off to enjoy the delights of Vienna, a
romantic ride down the Danube, a gourmand’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, Cooker’s assistant handsome Virgile faces an
annoying rival and a mildew crisis in the vineyards just
as Cooker’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.
