The story of the alleged Thomas Jefferson wines and the controversy surrounding them. A good read but a bit dry. Very informative on the wine world as a whole and the arrogance of so called experts and there failure to admit their mistakes even when facing damning evidence.
It's funny you posted this since I just finished reading it a few weeks back. I got it based on the review in the Economist and I really enjoyed it. I don't know much about wine but it was still a very interesting read.
Wallace is a really talented writer but it seems like he wrote the book just a bit too soon for a satisfying ending. (Several threads are still unresolved.)
It looks like Hollywood enjoyed it too... "The film rights to The Billionaire's Vinegar have been purchased by a Hollywood consortium, while HBO simultaneously had bought the film rights to the corresponding The New Yorker article."
