Cork Screwed: A Wine-Soaked Romantic Comedy Caper

By Shannon Ronalds

"I don't think there exists a smarter, more entertaining, witty wine novel than Cork Screwed."
-Rex Pickett, author of Sideways

Wine. Money. Betrayal. And a sommelier who can smell trouble before it hits the glass.

Cork Screwed is a darkly funny, wine-soaked crime novel about a sharp-tongued sommelier who thinks he's landed the deal of a lifetime, until it pulls him into a world of shady financiers, stolen bottles, and a love affair he never planned on.

What starts as a golden opportunity to finally open his dream restaurant spirals into a high-stakes game of manipulation, revenge, and very expensive wine. From blind tastings and underground deals to sun-drenched French vineyards, luxury yachts, and New York's elite dining scene, he'll have to decide how far he's willing to go, and who he's willing to become, to get what he wants.

Smart, stylish, and wickedly entertaining, Cork Screwed blends culinary culture, international crime, and razor-sharp dialogue into a story about ambition, loyalty, and the dangerous power of a good bottle.

Perfect for:

Fans of witty crime fiction and heist stories with humor

Wine lovers and food-obsessed readers

Book clubs (yes, wine clubs count)

Anyone who enjoys a little Shiraz with their shenanigans

Uncork the chaos. Pour a glass. Cork Screwed is now available.
