The Drops of God

Set in the sophisticated world of high-stakes wine connoisseurship, The Drops of God follows a young man who must identify twelve legendary wines to inherit his father's vast, priceless collection. Written by Tadashi Agi and Kate Robinson with art by Shu Okimoto, this 2011–2012 series from Vertical translates a Japanese manga sensation into a compelling English-language comic. It matters for its unique, immersive blend of mystery, family drama, and detailed oenology, making the art of wine tasting as thrilling as a detective story.
