We open our series in California’s fertile Central Valley to trace a vintage 1991 murder back to its unexpected source: White Zinfandel. This sugary pink wine swept the nation in the 1980s, setting off America’s rosé craze and introducing countless new drinkers to wine. But few people remember White Zin’s connection to a multi-million dollar fraud. Even fewer know it inspired a much darker crime.
