I highly recommend this book to all. The Billionaire's Vinegar. The interesting story of the shady wine dealer who peddled purportedly precious elderly wines to clueless collectors for hundreds of thousands of dollars; it seems many of the world's "connoisseurs" couldn't tell LaFitte from a hole in the ground.

A great little book combining perfidy, history, arrogance, and greed that reads like a mystery story.
