Elizabeth Knox - The Vintner's Luck

A while back I ended up with a $250 Borders voucher, asked a few people for one book suggestion each, and then bought them. I'm not sure, but I think The Vintner's Luck is the first that I've got around to reading - Kelly's suggestion, and while I'd normally have been very dubious about the premise (Burgundy, 1808: a young vintner meets an angel in his vineyard and they agree to meet every year thereafter on the same date), she was spot on as usual. It turns out to be a rather luscious, passionate novel, full of human and historical drama - and a love story on more than one level, too. I'm glad that I've read it.
