As the vineyards in Seneca Lake, New York, prepare for the seasonal “Deck the Halls Around the Lake” festivities, someone is determined to keep pinot noir off the wine list. Hijacked trucks and sabotaged ingredients have made it a hard-to-acquire vintage for the six local wineries—including Norrie Ellington’s Two Witches Winery.
The case of the stolen and spoiled wines gets stranger when Arnold Mowen, owner of the company distributing the wine, is found dead, the apparent victim of a hunting accident. As Norrie tries to find the connections between the pinot’s problems and Arnold’s death, she uncovers a conspiracy among many locals whose hatred for the wine distributor was bottled up for far too long . . .
An Interview With A Character
What is your full name?
Norrie Ellington
What is your Profession?
Screenwriter for a Canadian film company specializing in romance, but as of late, I am the acting manager of my family’s winery in Penn Yan, New York, and I am counting the days until my sister returns from Costa Rica with her insect-hunting entomologist husband, so I can get home to Manhattan. Upstate New York is no place for a twenty-something screenwriter like me. Yeesh – They fold up the sidewalks at eight o’clock. Unless of course, there’s a murder. Then, the amateur sleuth in me really gets going.
What is your current favorite book or movie?
Call me sappy but I love Meet Me in St. Louis.
What is your go to comfort book or movie?
GONE WITH THE WIND.
If someone was to play you in a movie who would it be?
Mackenzie Foy for sure!
What is your ideal evening?
Hanging out with my friends at any of the neat restaurant/bars in Little Italy where I live. I inherited a fabulous, albeit tiny, apartment from my late aunt Tessie and it’s smack dab in the center of the best nightlife going. Of course, I’m stuck in upstate New York now, so my idea of an ideal evening is one where the cable TV doesn’t go out along with the power every time we have a storm. And as for going out? Not in Penn Yan. Unless it’s the crack of dawn. Then, everything is open from early riser breakfasts to farm and craft shows.
