An engrossing account of wine fraud and forgery . . . Hellman clearly knows his stuff.The Wall Street Journal[Hellman] presents . . . the macho, competitive, oneupmanship world of the collectors, an atmosphere that perhaps contributed to their gullibility in the highrolling economy of the early 2000s.The New York TimesHeady, intoxicating . . . shines a light on the esoteric and intriguing world of ultrarare, ultrafine wines.Foreword, starred reviewIn Vino Duplicitas is a cautionary tale of how we can let the romance of wine get the better of us. . . . None of us are immune.Washington Post Few gain entry to the privileged world of ultrafine wines, where billionaires flock to exclusive auction houses to vie for the scarce surviving bottles from truly legendary years. But Rudy Kurniawan, an unknown twentysomething from Indonesia, was blessed with two gifts that opened doors: a virtuoso palate for wine tasting, and access to a seemingly limitless (if mysterious) supply of the worlds most coveted wines.After bursting onto the scene in 2002, Kurniawan quickly became the leading purveyor of rare wines to the American elite. But in April 2008, his lots of Domaine Ponsot Clos SaintDenis red burgundydating as far back as 1945were abruptly pulled from auction. The problem? The winemaker was certain that this particular burgundy was first produced only in 1982.Journalist Peter Hellman was there, and he would closely investigate as a singular cast of charactersincluding a Kansasborn billionaire and selfproclaimed hoarder, a dignified Burgundian winemaker, a wineloving young prosecutor, and a crusty FBI agent who prepared for the case by reading French Wine for Dummiesworked to unravel the biggest con in wine history. Whether driven by the love of wine or of justice, all were asking the same question: Was the mildmannered Kurniawan himself a dupe? Or had one young manwith little experience and few connectionsensnared the worlds top winemakers, sellers, and drinkers in a web of deceit? 16page color photo insert
