Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

The award-winning comic about wine that has been a hit not just all over Asia but also in France! The Apple TV live-action drama series was a recent winner of the International Emmy Award!

Now an Apple Original series.

Zooming ahead to a story arc that presents New World wines for a New World audience, this special episode features scenes set in Napa Valley and labels from outside the traditional European production centres. Delectable on its own too, the Apostle revealed is the lucky Seventh.

It presents wines rapturously and in creative ways... I'm a vodka man, but Drops of God left me with a new appreciation for the grape, new vocabulary words like terroir (the flavours and aromas that soil and geography impart to a wine) and a fascination with decanting, which the book depicts as an art form.

-The New York Times
