The rivetingly strange story of the world's most expensive bottle of wine, and the even stranger characters whose lives have intersected with it.

The New York Times bestseller, updated with a new epilogue, that tells the true story of a 1787 Ch teau Lafite Bordeaux--supposedly owned by Thomas Jefferson--that sold for $156,000 at auction and of the eccentrics whose lives intersected with it.

Was it truly entombed in a Paris cellar for two hundred years? Or did it come from a secret Nazi bunker? Or from the moldy basement of a devilishly brilliant con artist? As Benjamin Wallace unravels the mystery, we meet a gallery of intriguing players--from the bicycle-riding British auctioneer who speaks of wines as if they are women to the obsessive wine collector who discovered the bottle.

Suspenseful and thrillingly strange, this is the vintage tale of what could be the most elaborate con since the Hitler diaries.

"Part detective story, part wine history, this is one juicy tale, even for those with no interest in the fruit of the vine. . . . As delicious as a true vintage Lafite." --BusinessWeek

Stylish and very functional for a primary bathroom
Color: C. Black, Color: C. Black
I installed these shelves in my primary bathroom and I’m very happy with the result. The design is clean and modern, and it helps keep the space organized without looking cluttered. I really like the combination of the solid shelf and the wire basket—it’s perfect for storing towels, toilet paper, and a few decorative items. The materials feel sturdy and well made, not cheap or flimsy. Installation was straightforward and didn’t require anything complicated. It definitely upgraded the look of my bathroom and made better use of the vertical space. Great option for a primary bathroom if you want both function and style. I would recommend it.

Perfect Rustic Touch for Our Bathroom Makeover!
Color: A. Brown, Color: A. Brown
We were redoing our bathroom and wanted a more rustic, farmhouse vibe and this shelf set absolutely delivered! As soon as I saw it, I fell in love with the design. The color (we chose Rustic Brown) is warm and charming, and it instantly made our bathroom feel cozier and more put-together. Installation was super easy! The shelves are sturdy and well-made, with invisible brackets that give a clean, floating look. I especially love the metal basket; it holds several rolls of toilet paper and still looks decorative. The included sign is a cute bonus and adds a nice finishing touch. The depth of the shelves is perfect for holding toiletries or small decorations without sticking out too far. It really maximized the space over our toilet and helped us stay organized without sacrificing style. Overall, this set exceeded our expectations. It looks amazing, feels durable, and totally transformed our space. Highly recommend!
