The Master of Wine - a book by Noah Gorden
Spain, second half of the 19th century.
Josep Alvarez is a young man from the wine-growing village of Santa Eulalia in Catalonia, where his father grows local grapes and sells the wine for cheap vinegar.
Josep loves the land and farm work, but his father's vineyard will be inherited by his brother Donat, the eldest son. But Josep feels an innate need to work the land and longs for the vineyards and the chance to marry the girl he loves.
In Madrid, the assassination of the country's prime minister, plotted by men of wealth and power, creates a maelstrom of intrigue that sucks in a group of innocent young men from Santa Eulalia. How these events drastically changed Josep's life and how, ironically, they gradually transformed him into an inspired master of wine with a clear idea of what life is all about is the thrilling story in The Master of Wine by Noah Gordon, author of both the world-famous novels The Healer and Shaman.
