The French Winemaker's Daughter by Loretta Ellsworth

A bottle of wine worth $125,000?  

What could make it so valuable and where did it come from?

Present Day - Charlotte and her friend bought a case of wine that was from WWII at the famous auction house, Hotel Drouot.

They took it home and drank two of the bottles, but one looked too interesting to drink.

Charlotte's curiosity was piqued when she found out its value from an appraiser and especially because of a note under the label that said "this is my daughter's inheritance - keep her safe until I can find her."

She had to find out why it was worth so much and what that note meant.

France, WWII - We meet Martine whose father was taken by the Germans and had hidden her with that bottle of wine and the note.

We follow both characters in this lovely, but heartbreaking read as the story unravels during both time periods.

You will love both characters and their stories.

You won’t be able to put the book down.  5/5

Thank you to the publisher for a copy of this book.  All opinions are my own.
