Eight Hundred Grapes by Laura Dave
3.0

Georgia finds out her fiancee has been keeping a huge secret from her, a week before her wedding. She discovers this secret while at her last bridal dress fitting and runs home, dress and all, to her family's vineyard. Looking for the comforts of family and home, Georgia instead finds that Ben's secret isn't the only one waiting to be let out.

I thought this was OK. I read it quickly, and enjoyed the bits of knowledge about wine-making, but found Georgia to be a fairly shallow character. The romance aspect of the book irked me, and everything ended up a bit too perfectly. Fine for a day at the beach or a night on a porch.
