What happened
Montmartre, Paris 1958. A hidden wine bar hums with soft jazz, candlelight flickers against stone walls, and four glasses wait on the polished wooden table. Tonight’s tasting was meant to be a quiet celebration, a toast to vintages too rare to name.
But as the first pour is made, unease settles over the room. The bouquet is unfamiliar, the notes sharp where they should be smooth. A bottle that promised elegance now carries a whisper of something else. Guests exchange glances. The label that should reveal the truth? Torn away, lying in pieces.
Has the wine been switched? Was the unveiling sabotaged? Or is someone hiding more than just a missing label?
The answers won’t reveal themselves. They must be uncovered — through evidence, through suspicion, and through the choices of those gathered here tonight.
Will you be the one to solve the mystery of The Case of the Vanishing Label?
