As seen on ABC’s The Con, the “engrossing” (Wall Street Journal) story of the biggest con in wine history
In 2002, Rudy Kurniawan, an unknown twentysomething, burst into the privileged world of ultrafine wines. Blessed with a virtuoso palate, and with a seemingly limitless supply of coveted bottles, Kurniawan quickly became the leading purveyor of rare wines to the American elite. But in April 2008, at a New York auction house, dozens of Kurniawan’s trophy bottles were abruptly pulled from sale. Journalist Peter Hellman was there, and he began to investigate: Were the bottles fake? Were there others? And was Kurniawan himself a dupe . . . or had he ensnared the world’s top winemakers, sellers, and drinkers in a web of deceit? 16-page color photo insert"Synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
