00:00:30I have never felt this way before.
00:00:32Four, three, two, one.
00:00:36You got me counting down at Christmas.
00:00:39At the very top of my lips.
00:00:42As you and me under the mistletoe.
00:00:47Got me crossing off the days.
00:00:51Till I see your smiling face.
00:00:53Baby, you got me counting down at Christmas.
00:01:00Baby, you got me counting down at Christmas.
00:01:06Baby, you got me counting down to Christmas.
00:01:14You're too slow.
00:01:16Not fair.
00:01:17Your legs are open.
00:01:18No.
00:01:21Sam.
00:01:22Sam.
00:01:23Sam.
00:01:36Hey, Emily.
00:01:47I got you.
00:01:48Eh?
00:01:50How are we going to find our way out?
00:01:54First, this is for you.
00:01:56Mom, give this to me.
00:02:11She said I'm always safe when I wear it.
00:02:13It's going to keep you safe.
00:02:14Okay?
00:02:17Now, don't let go of my hand until we're out.
00:02:19Got it?
00:02:22Mom?
00:02:22Mom?
00:02:23Mom?
00:02:40Where are you off to?
00:02:42Uh, just going on a date.
00:02:46When am I going to meet this new suitor of yours?
00:02:49New suitor?
00:02:51Dad, it's the 21st century.
00:02:53He's my boyfriend.
00:02:56Oh, boyfriend.
00:02:57Okay, well, you guys have been spending a lot of time together.
00:03:01I think it's time I meet this boyfriend.
00:03:04Yes, you should.
00:03:05And, and I, I want you to.
00:03:08There's just some things.
00:03:09It's a little complicated.
00:03:11Oh, goodness, I'm going to be late.
00:03:15Hey, hey, let me go.
00:03:17Hey.
00:03:20Complicated how?
00:03:23No, no, no.
00:03:27No, Tony.
00:03:29What do we hire the local preschoolers to design these labels?
00:03:32These labels are awful.
00:03:33I might as well fire the kids and finger paint these labels on myself.
00:03:37You know, it would help if you gave me some guidance.
00:03:42Guidance?
00:03:42Guidance?
00:03:42Guidance.
00:03:42Guidance.
00:03:43Guidance.
00:03:44Guidance.
00:03:44Guidance.
00:03:45Guidance.
00:03:45Guidance.
00:03:46Guidance.
00:03:46Guidance.
00:03:47You know how when you try my Norton, you get these notes of black cherry.
00:03:51Or if I blend the Norton with the champagne, it curbs the acidity, give it a more fruit-forward
00:03:55taste with a dry finish.
00:03:57That's what these labels need to feel like.
00:03:59I mean, do any of these labels make you think black cherry?
00:04:06I mean, come on.
00:04:07This isn't rocket science.
00:04:10What do I even pay you for?
00:04:11I'm the co-owner, and technically I do payroll, so I pay you.
00:04:15You're missing the point.
00:04:16I need you to fully realize my vision.
00:04:18Our vision, Parker.
00:04:19Our vision.
00:04:20Okay, I get enough of frustration from the staff.
00:04:22If you can't get this, then maybe we should, you know, I don't know, I'll figure something
00:04:27else out.
00:04:27I'll put you anywhere else.
00:04:28If you can't do this, then maybe you need to know what are these charges.
00:04:32Hmm.
00:04:34Well?
00:04:35Uh, toys.
00:04:39Or a cherry.
00:04:40Every kid deserves a toy for Christmas, even if they stock a finger pin.
00:04:49Besides, you can use that as a write-off.
00:04:55Okay, listen, Parker, it's late.
00:04:57Okay, let's table this till tomorrow.
00:04:58Huh?
00:05:00Uh-huh.
00:05:00Uh-huh.
00:05:00Uh-huh.
00:05:10Oh, my God.
00:05:11Oh, my God.
00:05:13Uh-huh.
00:05:24Hi.
00:05:25Hey, Mom.
00:05:25Hey, Mom.
00:05:26You good?
00:05:26Well, I'm glad you could make it.
00:05:28I did.
00:05:29Yeah, I like my day.
00:05:30I wouldn't be anywhere else.
00:05:33Hmm.
00:05:34But I did think Parker would never let me leave.
00:05:37That guy is so difficult.
00:05:39Anyone, did you want a moment?
00:05:43Just a glass of wine.
00:05:45Two Nortons.
00:05:47One reserve cellar for the lady.
00:05:49One Herman Hoff for the gentleman.
00:05:51Right on top.
00:05:52You spoil me.
00:05:54Are we ready to order?
00:05:55Can you actually give us a couple minutes?
00:05:57Of course. With tonight's wine,
00:05:59might I suggest the steak?
00:06:00Thank you so much.
00:06:03You know, it feels naughty
00:06:05drinking competition wine.
00:06:07It does, doesn't it?
00:06:11Can I be honest?
00:06:15I really don't understand
00:06:18the whole rivalry thing.
00:06:20I mean, you need diversity
00:06:22to inspire innovation, right?
00:06:25All toast to that.
00:06:26Right?
00:06:27Yes.
00:06:30You know,
00:06:35it is pretty good.
00:06:36Mm-hmm.
00:06:37That is.
00:06:38But I think I like yours more.
00:06:40Oh.
00:06:41You admit it.
00:06:42No, no, no.
00:06:43I don't...
00:06:43Uh...
00:06:46Oh, no.
00:06:47Um...
00:06:47Emily?
00:06:48Honey, can you get under the table?
00:06:50No.
00:06:51Please get under the table.
00:06:54No.
00:06:55Not again.
00:06:56Get under the table, please.
00:06:59Great.
00:07:00Last one.
00:07:00Yes.
00:07:01I think I figured it out.
00:07:16We have to approach
00:07:16this whole thing differently.
00:07:19Hear me out.
00:07:19Please.
00:07:20Have a seat.
00:07:21I say we treat this
00:07:23like a pirate's treasure, man.
00:07:24We have the edges torn a little bit,
00:07:25but the color palette
00:07:26has to match the flavor profile.
00:07:27You know what I mean?
00:07:28Yeah.
00:07:33How do you even know I was here?
00:07:34I tracked your phone.
00:07:36What?
00:07:37You did what?
00:07:38It's a company phone.
00:07:39I have to know
00:07:40where you're at at all times.
00:07:42How'd you know I was coming?
00:07:44Oh.
00:07:44And why'd you get the 2020?
00:07:46Well, that's all they had.
00:07:48Nonsense.
00:07:49The 2020 is vastly inferior
00:07:51to the 2021.
00:07:53Where's the waiter?
00:07:54I want this removed now.
00:07:56Excuse me, sir.
00:07:57Hey, Parker.
00:07:57Could we...
00:07:57Parker, brother?
00:07:58Which one's yours?
00:08:00Everybody likes the 2020
00:08:01as well as they like the 2021
00:08:02and the 2022.
00:08:04You get good wine.
00:08:06Let it rise.
00:08:08Most people want to know
00:08:09good wine from grape juice.
00:08:10What are you drinking?
00:08:12Uh...
00:08:13Just snorting.
00:08:18Wait a minute.
00:08:19This is a Hermano.
00:08:21Why are you drinking this?
00:08:24That just felt like drinking Hermano.
00:08:26It's quite good, actually.
00:08:27While I question your taste,
00:08:33I guess it's not a bad idea
00:08:36to know your competition.
00:08:37Even if Georgia's a total has-beam.
00:08:40Has-beam?
00:08:41May I take your order?
00:08:42Yes, let's talk about this right here.
00:08:44This vintage, the 2020,
00:08:46it's not as good as the 2021.
00:08:48Could you please not serve it here anymore?
00:08:51Wait, what?
00:08:52That's not an answer.
00:08:54Look, this is a local place.
00:08:56I'd hate to think the locals
00:08:56aren't getting the best from our winery.
00:08:59I'm sorry.
00:09:00Don't be sorry.
00:09:00Be better.
00:09:02Could I just talk with the manager?
00:09:03As I was saying,
00:09:07Hermanoff's old news,
00:09:08George is washed up,
00:09:08and if it weren't for us buying his rapes,
00:09:10then he'd probably be out of...
00:09:12How dare you talk about my father like that?
00:09:17What, are you spying on us?
00:09:19Wait, Tony, what, what, what?
00:09:21What is she doing here?
00:09:21Emily?
00:09:22I am his girlfriend.
00:09:22No, let's go.
00:09:23Let's go.
00:09:25Seriously?
00:09:26I am your girlfriend,
00:09:27and you want to talk about this later?
00:09:29You're dating the princess of that has-beam winery?
00:09:32Has-beam?
00:09:32How dare you?
00:09:34Tony, I need to speak with you outside right now.
00:09:38Apologies.
00:09:38The manager's love.
00:09:39Forget it.
00:09:39Forget it.
00:09:39Forget it.
00:09:40It's a young.
00:09:41No, it's a guy.
00:09:42Do yourself a favor.
00:09:44Get the steak au poids.
00:09:45It'll pair better with that below-average wine.
00:09:48I'll make it up.
00:09:49Ciao.
00:09:50Have a good night.
00:09:51I'm so sorry.
00:09:53Thanks.
00:09:53Ari?
00:09:54I am so sorry.
00:09:55I'm sorry.
00:09:56I'm sorry.
00:09:57What are you thinking?
00:10:01This is idiotic, moronic, and simultaneously insane.
00:10:05Yeah, no, Parker, but I really care about a bit.
00:10:07Forget it.
00:10:08You know the deal.
00:10:09Dump her or you're out.
00:10:10That contract was stupid.
00:10:12Why can't I be with a girl that I like?
00:10:15Because the girl you like is the competition,
00:10:17and that jeopardizes our winery.
00:10:19This is not classified military intelligence, Parker.
00:10:23It's just winemaking.
00:10:24And you know, the only one who cares about competition is you.
00:10:28End it with her or you're out.
00:10:32Got it.
00:10:34See you in the morning.
00:10:35Mm-hmm.
00:10:35Don't be late.
00:10:36Right.
00:10:36Look, I seriously do not know how much more of your wicked stepbrother I can take.
00:10:47Yes, I'm just, I don't know what to do.
00:10:49You should not have to put up with this.
00:10:50How are you putting up with this?
00:10:52He's family.
00:10:53And besides, you know how much the winery means, too.
00:10:58I know.
00:11:00And I would never want to get in the way of your dreams.
00:11:03I just, oh, I wish you hadn't put that stupid clause in your contract, baby.
00:11:09I mean, okay, we've got to strategize on this.
00:11:12There's got to be something we can do.
00:11:14Yeah.
00:11:16You're right.
00:11:17Mm-hmm.
00:11:17Can you, can you send him on an extended trip somewhere very far away?
00:11:22Oh, but then he's just going to come back.
00:11:26I, I got it.
00:11:28What?
00:11:28It is, it is so obvious.
00:11:30What's obvious?
00:11:31Okay, what is one of the only things I can make someone change?
00:11:37Therapy.
00:11:37Oh, God, therapy.
00:11:39Something so much better.
00:11:40Please.
00:11:41But we want to need help.
00:11:43Come on.
00:11:43Come on.
00:11:44Come on.
00:11:47This is my bag.
00:12:09That's definitely my bag.
00:12:10No, it's not.
00:12:12This is my bag.
00:12:13This is most definitely my bag.
00:12:14I bought it right before we made it.
00:12:15Well, maybe you left your bag at home.
00:12:16Are you kidding?
00:12:17This is my bag.
00:12:18Are you kidding?
00:12:19How many times people know?
00:12:20What seems to be the problem?
00:12:21He's trying to take my bag.
00:12:23Okay, I get it.
00:12:24There's tons of bags that look alike.
00:12:25Is there a possibility that one of you guys could be mistaken?
00:12:28We can just look at the luggage tag.
00:12:31The tag must have gotten ripped off.
00:12:33Well, we can just open it up and get this fixed really quickly.
00:12:36No, no, no.
00:12:37Thank God.
00:12:37All right, come on.
00:12:39No.
00:12:40What about this bag?
00:12:43This belonged to one of you?
00:12:44Oh, I'm so sorry.
00:12:46No, it's very funny.
00:12:47This is my suitcase.
00:12:49Thank you so much.
00:12:50You guys are welcome.
00:12:51And I know traveling can be stressful, so happy holidays.
00:12:54You too.
00:12:55What?
00:13:0610 missed calls?
00:13:10Hey.
00:13:11Sam.
00:13:12I need you to come home.
00:13:14I'm working.
00:13:15You are always working.
00:13:16All right, uh, well, I just happened to land in St. Louis, so what's going on?
00:13:40It's like not much has changed.
00:13:42Oh, I'm so glad you're home.
00:14:05Oh, Dad went out for a run.
00:14:07Okay, I'll see him when he gets here.
00:14:09What's going on?
00:14:11Let me tell you.
00:14:12Okay.
00:14:13Oh, I miss you.
00:14:18It's just so complicated.
00:14:20And the thing is, to me, it's really frustrating because emotionally, I'm ready.
00:14:25You know, I'm 100% ready to go public with our relationship, but we can't.
00:14:31Because you're in the competition.
00:14:33Yes.
00:14:34Okay.
00:14:35What does this have to do with me?
00:14:37Well, I was thinking that you could distract Parker or possibly date.
00:14:44Date.
00:14:45Date Parker?
00:14:46You literally just went on a rant about that he's such a jerk, and now you want me to date him.
00:14:50Yes, I did.
00:14:51I did do that.
00:14:51But I'm telling you, Tony and I, we cannot officially be seen together.
00:14:55Otherwise, he will lose his shares in the company, and that man has worked so hard, Sam.
00:15:02And?
00:15:03And?
00:15:04And?
00:15:05Okay, if you do this, Parker will be distracted, number one.
00:15:08And he will also be dating the competition, number two.
00:15:12So if both of them are dating competition, then it really makes the whole thing null and void, right?
00:15:17I mean, it's kind of perfect.
00:15:19What makes you think he's even going to like me?
00:15:22That's not a serious question.
00:15:24Sam, everybody loves you.
00:15:27I have all the faith in the world in my sister.
00:15:33Hi.
00:15:34Oh, my God.
00:15:34Sorry.
00:15:35I didn't mean to say anything.
00:15:37Sam, this is my boyfriend, Tony.
00:15:40Our boyfriend.
00:15:41Yeah.
00:15:42He's heard so much about you.
00:15:43Yeah.
00:15:44Does the dad know?
00:15:45No, but I'm sure it'll be just fine.
00:15:48He definitely won't fire you.
00:15:50Hmm.
00:15:50So, Tony, your stepbrother really needs to sign off on your dating life.
00:15:55Yeah.
00:15:56I mean, basically, we have this agreement that we drew up when we first went into business.
00:16:00It lists reasons for termination and forfeiting of shares in the winery.
00:16:03One of them is putting the company in jeopardy.
00:16:05And Parker thinks I'm doing that by dating Emily.
00:16:08Wow.
00:16:09Mm-hmm.
00:16:10You don't want him to do anything crazy.
00:16:12We just need you to, you know, run interference.
00:16:15Mm-hmm.
00:16:15Take him on a date.
00:16:16Or two.
00:16:17Yeah, I mean, he's got a one-track mind, so we think that a little bit of romance will
00:16:22make him less...
00:16:23Persnickety, um, uh, petulant, perturbed.
00:16:28I don't know.
00:16:29He's actually, he's pretty much just awful.
00:16:31Yeah, he's awful.
00:16:32Sorry.
00:16:33Okay.
00:16:33And this is the best idea you two came up with?
00:16:37It's great.
00:16:40So, you can't date Emily until I date Parker?
00:16:45Yeah.
00:16:46Uh-huh.
00:16:47If I wanted to deal with difficult people, I would just stick to my day job.
00:16:51You know?
00:16:52No, I mean, he's a good person.
00:16:54He's just shrewd when it comes to the winery.
00:16:57Look, Sam, Tony and I are, we are so in love.
00:17:02I mean, really, like...
00:17:04I'm crazy about this guy, okay?
00:17:07But the truth is, is that we...
00:17:09We can't be together unless Parker changes.
00:17:11So I...
00:17:12I really need my big sister.
00:17:15No.
00:17:16Me, me.
00:17:16No, no, no, that's cheating.
00:17:17Don't make that face.
00:17:18Do not make that...
00:17:19She does this all the time.
00:17:21Okay.
00:17:22Okay, fine.
00:17:24Fine, I will try.
00:17:26Okay?
00:17:27Under one condition.
00:17:28If you do have kids, you have to name one of them after me.
00:17:33Deal.
00:17:34Deal.
00:17:35Deal, you heard that.
00:17:37All played.
00:17:38All right.
00:17:39Where do I find this Parker guy?
00:17:40Excuse me.
00:18:10I was hoping to speak to the winemaker.
00:18:11I mean, yes, that's me.
00:18:13But if you'd like to do a tasting, you can speak with that woman by the counter.
00:18:18I want to speak with you.
00:18:22Me?
00:18:22Mm-hmm.
00:18:23I was wondering what inspired you to make your Norton-Chamberson blend, the one with and
00:18:28without oak.
00:18:29I was surprised at how much I liked the non-oak version better.
00:18:32You like the archer's red more than the crossbow.
00:18:38I thought I would like the oat version better, but this one has the plum and cherry notes, and
00:18:43then it's also super sweet with that spicy finish.
00:18:46I loved it.
00:18:47Most palettes aren't sharp enough to discern the difference.
00:18:50Are you a sommelier?
00:18:51No, I love wine, but I'm not an expert.
00:18:56Well, you're probably better than most of my staff.
00:18:59I'm years of practice.
00:19:01Really, what's that mean?
00:19:02I'm Samantha.
00:19:04Parker.
00:19:05Nice to meet you.
00:19:06Nice to meet you.
00:19:07No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
00:19:11hey, hey, hey, doing it, um, excuse me.
00:19:14They just finished the tasting, and they just wanted to try the new vignol.
00:19:17Yeah, great, you don't understand that.
00:19:18White won't be appreciated for its subtle notes after tasting the red.
00:19:23Guys, we're going to get you some water and crackers.
00:19:25On it.
00:19:26So that you could really appreciate our latest vignol to help you cleanse your palate.
00:19:31Is this a full-bodied rosé?
00:19:34Yes.
00:19:35I don't see a lot of these in the States.
00:19:38So, Parker, it was Parker, right?
00:19:41Yeah.
00:19:41What about that private tour you promised me?
00:19:44I don't do tours.
00:19:46Come on.
00:19:47It says right here you have a proprietary cold-pressed process.
00:19:51I don't even know what that is, but I'm sure you could explain it to me.
00:19:54Yeah, it's simple.
00:19:56We cool down our harvested grapes prior to fermentation.
00:20:00Can you show me?
00:20:03Okay, follow me.
00:20:07So, are you from around here?
00:20:11I'm everywhere.
00:20:12Flight attendant?
00:20:12Must be nice to travel.
00:20:14Tastes wine smell of the world.
00:20:16Well, the wine here in Missouri is a little different from what you find in other places like California.
00:20:21Really?
00:20:22Our grapes have to be hard here to deal with the wide ranges of temperature, humidity, frost, and floods.
00:20:28Is that why the Norton wine is here in Missouri?
00:20:30Correct.
00:20:31The Norton grape is less finicky and produces a nice, full-body dry red wine.
00:20:35We also have a Chardonnay, which is a blend of the Chardonnay grape with a Cerval.
00:20:41Is it buttery like Chardonnay?
00:20:43Fruit forward but dry.
00:20:45Some people like it better than the Chardonnay.
00:20:48It's got a superior wine quality to it while also having high productivity and cold-heartedness.
00:20:52I take it most people don't see this part of the tour?
00:20:59I've been wanting to add it to the tour, but as you can see, the climate has to stay within a certain temperature for the wine.
00:21:04You got it.
00:21:05So those over there will be bottled later this week, and these over here will be aging in stainless oak for the next few years.
00:21:14You said you just bottled some whites.
00:21:17Mm-hmm.
00:21:18Can you show me how you bottled them?
00:21:19Aren't you nosy?
00:21:21What?
00:21:21You sure you're not a spy?
00:21:22No.
00:21:23I'm just really interested in all this stuff, so.
00:21:27It is pretty interesting, huh?
00:21:29Mm-hmm.
00:21:31I love what I do.
00:21:33But to answer your question, we use a mobile bottler.
00:21:37Hubs cut overhead costs, and I don't have to deal with the equipment.
00:21:40Smart.
00:21:40We should be using them.
00:21:41What's that?
00:21:42Oh, nothing.
00:21:46So do you want to try and really taste it?
00:21:48From the tanks?
00:21:49That's right.
00:21:50Yeah.
00:21:50They haven't fully matured yet, but...
00:21:52I think it's coming along.
00:22:04Hmm.
00:22:05I know what you think.
00:22:10Hmm.
00:22:11So?
00:22:13It's good.
00:22:14There's, like, pepper notes on black cherry.
00:22:17No, plum, right?
00:22:20Are you sure you're not a sommelier?
00:22:22If I was, I'd be able to tell you the year of your grapes, and sadly, I can't.
00:22:27We just have to have you try some more.
00:22:29Mm-hmm.
00:22:31Excuse me.
00:22:31I have a delivery.
00:22:32I'll be right back.
00:22:33George, how's it going?
00:22:34George, how's it going?
00:22:37I got four pallets out.
00:22:39What's up for you?
00:22:40All right, we're ready to the team.
00:22:41I'm going to mark on it right away.
00:22:42Pope is in the Vatican, boys and girls.
00:22:44It's got to eat you up a little to know that I win more awards with your grapes than you
00:22:50do.
00:22:51Wine is wine.
00:22:53I'm just happy we can all do what we love.
00:22:57George, Herman Hoff's been the leader in Herman for generations.
00:23:01It's got to be hard to see some new kids winning the seat Williams Award and the center of this
00:23:05cup these past few years.
00:23:08You lost to this guy?
00:23:10Well, Parker, without challenges, we can't better ourselves.
00:23:14It's a good philosophy, if you can apply it.
00:23:19Hey, I hope you bring your A-game to this year's Christmas blender.
00:23:22Though that may have been your legacy, soon it'll be mine.
00:23:28Whatever you say.
00:23:28Hey, see you at the city council meeting tomorrow.
00:23:31Yep.
00:23:36What was that?
00:23:39That was the legendary winemaker at Arbinoff.
00:23:43I used to look up to him.
00:23:45What happened?
00:23:47I couldn't keep up with the times.
00:23:49Tastes change, people change.
00:23:52If I win this year's local blender...
00:23:54Blender?
00:23:56It's a red blend holiday competition.
00:23:58Well, if I win, we will finally become the most award-winning while Henry and Herman.
00:24:06You love being the best, don't you?
00:24:11I accept nothing less.
00:24:13Wow.
00:24:14Well, as you look at the time, this has been educational.
00:24:18Thank you so much.
00:24:18I'm going to have to go.
00:24:20Hey, look, I don't really make new friends easily, but I really enjoyed spending time with you.
00:24:27Would you want to talk more about wine at a later date?
00:24:32Sure.
00:24:32How will I find you?
00:24:37Don't worry.
00:24:38I'll find you.
00:24:45He's pompous.
00:24:46He's conceited.
00:24:47He just talks about himself.
00:24:48You should have heard him.
00:24:49He's on and on and on.
00:24:51It was nauseating.
00:24:52I tried to warn you.
00:24:54I get it.
00:24:55He's good-looking, but that's probably about it.
00:24:58And what is this about us selling our grapes to reserve sellers?
00:25:01Well, reserve sellers does things differently than a lot of other wineries.
00:25:05They outsource parts of their process to keep their overhead down, which is actually a really great idea when you think about it,
00:25:10because if you don't have to focus on growing the grapes and the bottling, you can focus on the actual wine.
00:25:16That's exactly what Parker likes.
00:25:18You see his genius.
00:25:20He's still a jerk.
00:25:21Sometimes those two things go hand in hand.
00:25:24I don't know.
00:25:25I don't think I can soften this guy up.
00:25:28Well, if anyone can, you can.
00:25:31Not this one.
00:25:32He's worse than my first-class passengers.
00:25:34That is bad.
00:25:35That's terrible.
00:25:37Dad!
00:25:38Hey.
00:25:39Hey, Dad.
00:25:39Sam.
00:25:44Wow.
00:25:45You're, uh...
00:25:46Surprise!
00:25:48Hi, honey.
00:25:49Hi, Dad.
00:25:50Oh.
00:25:52We, uh, we missed you at Thanksgiving.
00:25:55Yeah, I was stuck in New York.
00:25:57Ah, yeah.
00:25:59Well, your sister made the cranberry sauce, and it was as good as your mom's.
00:26:04We talk.
00:26:06Ah, God.
00:26:07Can it wait till tomorrow, honey?
00:26:09I've, uh, I've had a day, and we got another one tomorrow with, uh...
00:26:12Christmas.
00:26:12Yeah, Christmas plunger.
00:26:14Yeah.
00:26:15We can talk in the morning.
00:26:17Sure.
00:26:19Welcome home.
00:26:20Mm-hmm.
00:26:22Cool.
00:26:23Okay.
00:26:23You girls, don't stay up too late.
00:26:28Wow, new record.
00:26:30Made it a whole day.
00:26:32What do you mean?
00:26:33What do you mean?
00:26:34Don't play, Dove.
00:26:35You know.
00:26:36It's, it's the same fight every time I come home.
00:26:39Well, you could come home more often.
00:26:41And we would just wait more.
00:26:44Just see you.
00:26:45You guys really need to work it out.
00:26:47We're family.
00:26:47We're supposed to stick together.
00:26:50Tell him that.
00:26:53I love you.
00:26:55Do you remember when I made this for you?
00:26:57I do.
00:26:58I'll revive you.
00:26:59Yes.
00:26:59Oh, hey.
00:27:12Morning, Dad.
00:27:14I wasn't sure you were still an early riser.
00:27:17I'm a flight attendant.
00:27:18I have to be at the airport at four in the morning sometimes.
00:27:21Is this for me?
00:27:22Mm-hmm.
00:27:22Bless you.
00:27:24Oh.
00:27:28Not too shabby.
00:27:30I missed your coffee.
00:27:32I think I'm just a little bit more patient when it comes to brewing it than you are.
00:27:36Oh, is that what it is?
00:27:42Dad, why didn't you tell me about reserve sellers?
00:27:47What about them?
00:27:48I don't know, that they're kicking our butts.
00:27:51Ah, I mean, you can't stay champs forever.
00:27:55That boy genius makes good wine.
00:27:56Besides, I was never the winemaker.
00:28:02Your mom was.
00:28:05At least our Nortons are still the best, huh?
00:28:07We can take this guy.
00:28:12You gonna come home and help?
00:28:13Yeah, I, um...
00:28:16No, I didn't think so.
00:28:20Would it really kill you just to stay a little longer?
00:28:24What about the Christmas blender, Dad?
00:28:25I can make a blend that'll get us back on top.
00:28:28We, we have the talent, we have the grapes, we just have to think outside the box.
00:28:33I don't think so.
00:28:35Why not?
00:28:37The Christmas blend was your mom's specialty.
00:28:40And even mom knew that we had to change the blend every year depending on the harvest set.
00:28:44I don't know how many times I have to say this to you.
00:28:46We don't change the Christmas blend.
00:28:49Dad.
00:28:49We do not change your mother's Christmas blend.
00:28:52You got it?
00:28:55Yeah.
00:28:55Now, if you really want to help, you can help me get these boxes out of the truck.
00:29:07Oh, hey, Parker.
00:29:08There you are.
00:29:09I just wanted to remind you about the Chamber of Commerce meeting tonight.
00:29:11Oh, I know.
00:29:12Are you joining me?
00:29:14Didn't miss a chance to see you yell at the Chamber for some obtuse reason?
00:29:17I wouldn't miss it for the world, bro.
00:29:20You know, you know our booth placement last year was bogus, right?
00:29:23Can you hear that?
00:29:23No, it wasn't.
00:29:24Yeah, it was.
00:29:25No, it wasn't.
00:29:25Yes, it was.
00:29:27No, it wasn't.
00:29:27Yes.
00:29:28Yes, it was.
00:29:31Well, I see you didn't forget how to do things around here.
00:29:36Dad, remember when Emily and I used to play down here when you and Mom used to work?
00:29:40I remember.
00:29:42You girls used to love to play hide-and-seek when your mom would work on her blends.
00:29:48Those were good times.
00:29:52Yeah.
00:29:52Okay, so this, this is my batch for the Christmas blender.
00:29:58Should we give it a taste?
00:30:00Ah, I've got that Chamber of Commerce thing I need to get to.
00:30:05But...
00:30:05Yeah, uh, no, no, no, you go.
00:30:10You want to come?
00:30:11Your sister's going to be there.
00:30:15No, it's, it's not my world anymore, Dad.
00:30:19Yeah.
00:30:21Well, it was worth a shot.
00:30:24I'll see you.
00:30:24I wish you were still here, Mom.
00:30:42Looks like you were the only one I could get through to chat.
00:30:45What the heck are you doing here?
00:30:55Sorry.
00:30:55More importantly, how did you get in?
00:30:57Oh, I have a key.
00:30:58I'm going to give you a key, so I can set it for the parking lot.
00:31:00Okay, you have a key.
00:31:01I just wanted to give you this before heading over to the Chamber of Commerce meeting.
00:31:06Chamber of Commerce meeting.
00:31:07You too?
00:31:08Must be the hot ticket in town.
00:31:10What?
00:31:12Never mind.
00:31:14This is everything you need to know about Parker.
00:31:18What is this?
00:31:19Is this a dossier?
00:31:20This is like Port-A-Line spycraft.
00:31:22Dossier what?
00:31:23No, no.
00:31:24This is everything, all the information I thought you'd want on my stepbrother.
00:31:28His lice, his dislikes, favorite movies, music, TV, streaming, lights.
00:31:31Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
00:31:32He doesn't like dogs?
00:31:34Yeah, I don't know.
00:31:38Okay.
00:31:40All right, well, next time, maybe you can just email me.
00:31:44I shouldn't have done that.
00:31:47It's okay.
00:31:48I got some meeting to do.
00:31:50Wait, and I got a one.
00:31:51Okay.
00:31:52Okay.
00:31:52Don't get lost.
00:31:54Yes.
00:32:08Hi.
00:32:14Sorry I'm late.
00:32:15It's okay.
00:32:15No worries.
00:32:16Okay.
00:32:20Am I too, Carrie?
00:32:21Dad, you look great.
00:32:23These things make me so nervous.
00:32:25Maybe just fine.
00:32:29Where were you?
00:32:31Oh, I had to swing by the printers.
00:32:33And how do they look?
00:32:36No, I didn't get them.
00:32:38I was hurrying to get here.
00:32:40What do you got?
00:32:41We've been talking about this for weeks.
00:32:43We've been talking about this for weeks.
00:32:44How did you not get them?
00:32:45Why did you get them?
00:32:46Okay.
00:32:47Welcome and thank you for joining us.
00:32:49As you know, this is the final planning meeting for the Crisp Crindle Market and the Christmas
00:32:55Blender.
00:32:55I just want to go through and wrap up some last minute details for both events.
00:33:00Please go to your itinerary and let's review.
00:33:05Yes, Mr. Williams.
00:33:07Are you going to announce the prize for the wine contest?
00:33:09Yes, I can go ahead and do that.
00:33:13Yeah, let's go ahead.
00:33:15I know a lot of you are very anxious about it.
00:33:16As you know, the winner of the wine competition obviously is going to have great bragging rights
00:33:22and distributors will be fighting over representing your wine.
00:33:25However, this year, the city is going to be giving away a very special prize to the winner of the Christmas Blender.
00:33:33One acre of Norton grapes, including the planting of the vines in the spring.
00:33:39Wow.
00:33:39That's huge.
00:33:40No, no, no, no.
00:33:43That is huge.
00:33:50Of course, the red blends will be judged according to the Davis system.
00:33:55That is one serious prize.
00:34:17Okay, let me down here.
00:34:19What?
00:34:20Oh, no.
00:34:22Nothing.
00:34:23But don't forget, there's audience voting.
00:34:25So I recommend you get out there and spread Christmas cheer and you promote your wines.
00:34:30So let's get back to work.
00:34:32Everybody, look at number one on the itinerary.
00:34:36Okay, booth placement.
00:34:38I know some of you were upset about your placement last year.
00:34:43Hey, hey, great to see you, too.
00:34:45Take this.
00:34:52Who's there?
00:34:53And breathe this out, I'll be.
00:34:59You weren't talking to that Hermanoff girl, were you?
00:35:01No.
00:35:02I don't think it was Parker.
00:35:03Hey, honey, you ready?
00:35:05I, uh-huh.
00:35:06Yeah.
00:35:06Let's go.
00:35:07Mm-hmm.
00:35:08Good.
00:35:09Because we have the temperature to check those reds.
00:35:11At this time of the night?
00:35:12Especially at this time of the night.
00:35:14That's really bad.
00:35:15I mean, I'm...
00:35:15Do you see this note Tony wrote me?
00:35:21So romantic.
00:35:22Oh, well, you're on cloud nine.
00:35:25I'm reading about the other guy.
00:35:27All right.
00:35:28Love to hear it.
00:35:29What do we got?
00:35:30He's just...
00:35:31He's so oddly specific.
00:35:32Okay, so he likes classical music over jazz.
00:35:35Why, of course.
00:35:36Okay.
00:35:37He prefers to watch the news over sitcoms.
00:35:40Oh, weird.
00:35:41And then the worst thing that I found is that he...
00:35:43He doesn't like dogs.
00:35:45What?
00:35:46Yeah.
00:35:46That's a...
00:35:47That's an actual preference?
00:35:48I know.
00:35:49Wow.
00:35:50I'm sure dogs can sense that.
00:35:51Mm-hmm.
00:35:52Just...
00:35:53It's crazy that someone can be this good-looking.
00:35:55I mean, look at him.
00:35:56Mm-hmm.
00:35:57And then be such a jerk.
00:35:59So what are you gonna do about it?
00:36:02I am going to dazzle him, my dear sister.
00:36:05Of course you are.
00:36:08Oh, and what about Anita's wine blender?
00:36:12I can only fix one problem at a time.
00:36:14Dad's not gonna listen to me, so...
00:36:16That's all I can do.
00:36:19Whatever you say.
00:36:21And...
00:36:22Where's this place?
00:36:33Hi.
00:36:34Hi.
00:36:34I'm here picking up an order under Williams.
00:36:37Sure.
00:36:37Let me check on that.
00:36:38Be right back.
00:36:38Cool.
00:36:38Sounds good.
00:36:42Told you I'd find you.
00:36:43Well, hello again.
00:36:47Hi.
00:36:48Nice surprise.
00:36:49That it is.
00:36:50What'd you order?
00:36:51I got the blue Hawaiian burger.
00:36:53Makes me feel tropical when it's cold.
00:36:55Mm.
00:36:55You?
00:36:56The spin-out.
00:36:57Never had that before.
00:36:58Just try it.
00:36:59Mm-hmm.
00:36:59Even though I thought winemakers only eat wine for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
00:37:03Well, even when your wine is as lovely as ours, you can only have it in moderation.
00:37:07Besides, sometimes, I just eat a burger.
00:37:10Mm.
00:37:11You know?
00:37:12Get it.
00:37:14Um, so what are you doing tonight?
00:37:16What do you have in mind?
00:37:20Mm.
00:37:21Dinner.
00:37:231837.
00:37:24Good food.
00:37:24Good wine.
00:37:26That's my favorite spot.
00:37:28Is it?
00:37:31What time should I pick you up?
00:37:33Uh, I'll meet you there.
00:37:34Seven.
00:37:37It's a date?
00:37:38It's a date.
00:37:40There you are, sir.
00:37:40Have a good day.
00:37:41Mm.
00:37:43Well, I, uh...
00:37:44Yeah, same.
00:37:45Right.
00:37:46Um...
00:37:46Did you go?
00:37:48Right.
00:37:49Yeah.
00:37:49Yeah, um...
00:37:50Get me.
00:37:51Yeah, shoot.
00:38:04Hey, Sam?
00:38:06I'm out to supper at 1837 with Tony.
00:38:08I'll be back later tonight.
00:38:09That was phenomenal.
00:38:22Mm.
00:38:22Mm.
00:38:22Mm.
00:38:23Did the wine pairing meet with your approval?
00:38:26I think it tied it all together.
00:38:28Mm.
00:38:28Yeah.
00:38:29I'm very happy you liked it.
00:38:32So, do you come here often?
00:38:36You know I used to, before we started getting busy.
00:38:39In the early days of Reserved Sound as my stepbrother, Toya and I, we would come here and we'd have
00:38:45our business brainstorm sessions.
00:38:48What brought you to Herman?
00:38:51California was biz, too expensive, and France was out of the question.
00:38:55The more research I did, the more research I did, the more I realized Herman was the future.
00:39:01Future?
00:39:04Well, the future for me, at least.
00:39:06What's that, a bold claim?
00:39:11Look.
00:39:14Wine doesn't just happen.
00:39:16It exists because we choose to make it.
00:39:19It's no accident that the grapes here, in Herman, are less vulnerable than other places.
00:39:23They have to be.
00:39:23They don't have a choice.
00:39:25To survive, they need to adapt.
00:39:28And these people, this place, these grapes, they all adapt to these ever-changing environments.
00:39:33And in turn, they produce something so beautiful, something so beautiful everyone can enjoy of age.
00:39:40But I think the same applies to us.
00:39:44We always have an opportunity to overcome something difficult in order to create something beautiful.
00:39:56Wow.
00:39:57That was amazing.
00:40:00Um, I can imagine being vulnerable is difficult for you.
00:40:06You know, you're starting to sound like my stepbrother.
00:40:09Are you guys close?
00:40:10Very.
00:40:11We're practically attached to the head.
00:40:14Look, I would never say this to his face.
00:40:17I couldn't live without him.
00:40:20He's everything I'm not.
00:40:22He's thoughtful, sensitive, friendly, and for some reason he puts up on me.
00:40:27Uh, you're not that bad.
00:40:32I have a sister, too.
00:40:33She's pretty amazing.
00:40:34Yeah?
00:40:35Cool.
00:40:38To our siblings.
00:40:39To our siblings.
00:40:40To our siblings.
00:40:50You all right?
00:40:53Yeah.
00:40:55Oh, is there a cork in your wine?
00:40:56No, no, no.
00:40:56No, please, I will go.
00:40:58I'll talk to them.
00:40:59I'll talk to the, um, you just sit there and, uh, can I get you anything?
00:41:02Yeah.
00:41:03Okay.
00:41:05That's my favorite part.
00:41:07I just love the way that they cook it.
00:41:09What are you doing here?
00:41:09I'm up in dinner with Tony.
00:41:10In a public place.
00:41:12What's the problem?
00:41:13You didn't get my note.
00:41:13But no.
00:41:14A note that said I'm taking Parker here tonight.
00:41:16Parker's here?
00:41:17Yes.
00:41:17Oh, no.
00:41:18Oh, yes.
00:41:19I'll pull the fire alarm.
00:41:20No, no, no.
00:41:21Don't pull the fire alarm.
00:41:22What's going on?
00:41:23What do you see, Sister Gale?
00:41:24What do you see here or something?
00:41:25Okay, just relax.
00:41:25You guys go to the door.
00:41:28You have to be careful.
00:41:43Welcome back.
00:41:44What's this?
00:41:45Just a free glass of sherry for the cork we found in the last one.
00:41:48Nice work.
00:41:51Love me a good dessert wine.
00:41:52Ooh.
00:41:54Mmm.
00:41:55Tofino sherry.
00:41:56The lightest, most dry of all the sherrys with nutty and tarp flammable.
00:42:02How'd you make it?
00:42:07Oh, I love this song.
00:42:09Me too.
00:42:13Me too.
00:42:15Is that a joke?
00:42:16Oh, do you want to dance with me?
00:42:19What?
00:42:19No.
00:42:20Come on.
00:42:21Hey.
00:42:22Come on.
00:42:22I don't know.
00:42:23It's so stiff.
00:42:24I do.
00:42:24It's so stiff.
00:42:25I don't know.
00:42:26It's so stiff.
00:42:27It's so stiff.
00:42:32I thought that could be a good job.
00:42:34A dance with this.
00:42:35That's not good.
00:42:35Yeah.
00:42:53I can't believe you got me to do that.
00:42:55You got some moves.
00:42:56Oh, I didn't want to go that far.
00:42:58But it was fun, I'll give you that.
00:42:59Yeah.
00:43:00I'm just glad nobody recorded that.
00:43:02Oh, you didn't see me recording it?
00:43:03Don't even.
00:43:05I mean, I guess my dreams of running for public office are out the window.
00:43:10Mmm.
00:43:11Tough.
00:43:13I had a really good time.
00:43:16Yeah, I did too.
00:43:17But, um, it's getting late, so...
00:43:21Yeah.
00:43:22Go on.
00:43:24You want to do this again?
00:43:32How about this weekend?
00:43:33This weekend?
00:43:34I have to go to this Christmas party, and I was wondering if you'd be my plus one.
00:43:41Plus one, huh?
00:43:43You know what I mean?
00:43:45Okay.
00:43:47Come on, it'll be fun.
00:43:48Everyone will be there.
00:43:50Please?
00:43:51Okay.
00:43:52Okay.
00:43:53Yeah.
00:43:54Yeah.
00:43:56Great.
00:43:57The Chamber of Commerce director's having it, so all the top winemakers will be there.
00:44:00The folks from Bancroft, Ashbury, Cloud Wine.
00:44:03I'm sure even Hermanoff will pop in.
00:44:05I mean, they are the legacy winery.
00:44:07Hermanoff?
00:44:08Yeah, you ever try them?
00:44:10Mm.
00:44:11The folks I get my grapes from.
00:44:14But, uh, to be quite honest, I'm not sure how much longer they'll be around.
00:44:18I didn't know it was that bad.
00:44:20What's that?
00:44:21Um, that sounds, that sounds bad.
00:44:25Yeah, it is what it is.
00:44:27Things change.
00:44:29I wish them the best, but, um, that's you, right?
00:44:33Yeah, it's me.
00:44:34So, I'll see you Saturday, I'll pick you up, 6.30?
00:44:40Mm.
00:44:41I'll meet you there.
00:44:43But, I'm still getting to know you, so...
00:44:46Okay.
00:44:49Have a good night, Samantha.
00:44:50Good night, brother.
00:44:51Um, how could you be so careless?
00:45:05I don't know.
00:45:06Parker doesn't eat there very much anymore.
00:45:08At his favorite spot?
00:45:10To be fair, Tony says he mostly just does delivery these days.
00:45:14It's really hard to yell at you when you're eating all of these Christmas cookies.
00:45:18They're so good.
00:45:19I guess I'll just have to make more of them then.
00:45:23You want me to help, right?
00:45:28Can I ever do to deserve you?
00:45:30I am not real.
00:45:33Aside from your traumatic love life, I think we have some bigger fish to fry.
00:45:38What?
00:45:40Has Dad told you how the winery's doing?
00:45:49Good morning.
00:45:50Good morning.
00:45:51Good morning.
00:45:52You're in an awfully good mood today.
00:45:53Am I?
00:45:54Uh, did you like the labels from the printer?
00:45:55Uh, the labels?
00:45:56Yeah, they were great.
00:45:57You're happy with them.
00:45:58No, I'm not.
00:45:59Of course.
00:46:00Well, let me guess.
00:46:01Did you dream of a new blend last night?
00:46:02Nope.
00:46:03You yelled at the cable provider and you got to keep the introductory prize.
00:46:06No, but good reminder.
00:46:07Seems impossible, but...
00:46:09You met a girl?
00:46:10Maybe.
00:46:12I knew it.
00:46:13For knowing it you got it wrong twice.
00:46:14Oh, well, forget about that.
00:46:15Tell me about her.
00:46:16Who is she?
00:46:17What's her name?
00:46:18I don't ask.
00:46:19Come on.
00:46:20Sorry.
00:46:21to keep the introductory prize no but good reminder seems impossible but you
00:46:31met a girl maybe I knew it for knowing it you got it wrong twice oh well forget
00:46:37about that tell me about her who is she what's her name I don't pass it come on

00:47:02let's go
00:47:13well I didn't want to have this conversation
00:47:21clearly I work here and I didn't even know what was going on how bad is dead the short
00:47:29version our overhead is too high the cost to plant tend to the vines process the
00:47:37grace and this this bottling machine keeps breaking down if there's stuff weighing us
00:47:41down we should just get rid of it if we could just win this contest the Christmas
00:47:49splendor yeah if we could win it would lower our growing costs and increase our sales and why
00:47:56don't we just sell part of the winery and the equipment there's nothing wrong with going to a
00:48:00third party if our costs are too high no I'm not gonna change the way we do business now we are a
00:48:08legacy winery from seeds to cork Sam she might be on to something and when did you become an expert at
00:48:17growing and growing and selling wine dad stop I don't know maybe because I've been around it my
00:48:24whole life I love you dad but you are using Christmas blends from mom from years ago and you're not
00:48:32innovating you're imitating and that's the problem and guess what none of it brings mom back and you

00:50:41Looks like you're enjoying our Roman Christmas celebrations.
00:50:44You caught me.
00:50:45Maybe you'll stay a little longer.
00:50:47Maybe.
00:50:48I do love small towns, especially during the holidays.
00:50:51Well, in that case, could I interest you in some mulled wine?
00:50:55Sure.
00:51:01I think it's working.
00:51:02It looks like it.
00:51:03Uh-huh. You want to get out of here?
00:51:04Let's go.
00:51:05Come on.
00:51:07So, I'd really love to know more about you.
00:51:12Right, well, you know I love wine.
00:51:13Yep.
00:51:14Cheers to that.
00:51:15You know I love small towns.
00:51:18Clearly.
00:51:19And I love Christmas.
00:51:20Mm-hmm.
00:51:21What else do you want to know?
00:51:22Okay, well, will you be spending Christmas with your family?
00:51:27Where are they?
00:51:28Where did you grow up?
00:51:28I mean, I don't even know your last name.
00:51:29You need to know my last name?
00:51:31You could spare no details.
00:51:33I'm just on a little break from work right now.
00:51:36And as far as the holidays go, my mom passed seven years ago, so it's just never the same without her.
00:51:46What about you?
00:51:48Well, growing up, my dad was in the military and widowed, so Christmas was kind of rough.
00:51:55But then he met my mom's stepmom, Tony's mom, and things got much better.
00:52:00Yeah, she made sure Christmas was always very special for us.
00:52:04Must have been hard without your mom.
00:52:05Yeah, but Tony's mom is my mom.
00:52:12I love that.
00:52:13Yeah.
00:52:14So?
00:52:17I hate to drink and run.
00:52:20Then don't.
00:52:21I have to.
00:52:21No, you don't.
00:52:22Stay.
00:52:22I can't.
00:52:24Well, can I walk you to your hotel or your car or wherever you're going?
00:52:27No, I'm good.
00:52:29I appreciate it, though.
00:52:30Well, don't forget about tomorrow.
00:52:32What's tomorrow?
00:52:35Don't even choke around like that, please.
00:52:37I'm kidding.
00:52:38I'll meet you there.
00:52:40Seven?
00:52:41See you, man.
00:52:42See you, man.
00:53:01Maybe I did.
00:53:27You look pretty, pretty nice yourself there.
00:53:34Yeah.
00:53:34That wouldn't be such a bad thing, wouldn't you?
00:53:36Hey, Dad.
00:53:39You're looking nice.
00:53:41In my day, this was just a sweater, not an ugly sweater.
00:53:45In my opinion, if there was a contest, you would win.
00:53:49There you are.
00:53:51Oh, my.
00:53:52I did not know you wore nice clothes.
00:53:54Didn't.
00:53:55I just bought this.
00:53:56Oh, you just bought this?
00:53:57Mm-hmm.
00:53:58I'll tag a salon.
00:54:02Thanks.
00:54:03So, do I look?
00:54:06You look like you could own a wine room.
00:54:08I'll take it.
00:54:11George, how's it going?
00:54:14Parker, Merry Christmas.
00:54:16This is the season.
00:54:17How's your Christmas blood coming along?
00:54:19Couldn't be better.
00:54:21Yours?
00:54:22It's my best today.
00:54:23The judges and crowd should be pleased.
00:54:24I'm very excited to try yours.
00:54:27Wow.
00:54:28I'm very excited about the grand prize.
00:54:30Well, we'll get too excited.
00:54:32I'm pretty sure we have this one.
00:54:33Well, we'll see about that.
00:54:37You plan on bringing that same bill of lund you brought last year, George?
00:54:40You're in trouble.
00:54:41Well, have a good evening.
00:54:44I, uh, I have to find my date.
00:54:49Excuse me.
00:54:49Now, who could possibly be on a date with that narcissist?
00:54:59He is, um...
00:55:01Okay, Dad, look.
00:55:02You promised not to get too mad.
00:55:10Is he here?
00:55:11Uh, uh, no.
00:55:13Not yet.
00:55:14Yeah.
00:55:15Let's hope she didn't forget.
00:55:18You're the same.
00:55:19No, I mean...
00:55:20Yeah.
00:55:22Hey.
00:55:25Hey.
00:55:26Is that her?
00:55:29Wow.
00:55:29Yeah.
00:55:34I'll leave you to the moon.
00:55:38Wow.
00:55:39Wow.
00:55:40Just, wow.
00:55:43Hi, uh, you look stunning.
00:55:46Sorry, uh...
00:55:48Do you want to go try some wine?
00:55:52Yes.
00:55:53Yes.
00:55:53You have to try Alpine's newest red to blend with Missouri, North, and Chamberson, California,
00:55:58and Nebbiolo.
00:55:59Wow.
00:56:00Hi.
00:56:01Uh, to General Fremont's, please.
00:56:10To a very Merry Christmas.
00:56:14And a Happy New Year.
00:56:23Mmm.
00:56:23Mmm.
00:56:24Wow.
00:56:26Wow, that's good.
00:56:27Right?
00:56:29Um, dark berries.
00:56:31Black what?
00:56:32Dark chocolate.
00:56:34Black cherry.
00:56:35And a touch of liquor?
00:56:36And you would show the love, which, wow, you, you really do have an actual power.
00:56:43Thanks.
00:56:46You should come work for me.
00:56:49I can't.
00:56:50And plus, all my passengers need help with their carry-ons, I...
00:56:53I'm serious.
00:56:54Why don't you look here, I'll hire you and you can help me make new wines.
00:56:58It's really sweet, but I, I really don't even know what to say.
00:57:07Say yes?
00:57:09What do you have to lose?
00:57:10I, look, you, you, you have the talent, you just need an opportunity.
00:57:15I, um, I, I need to go wash my hands.
00:57:22Um, I will be right back.
00:57:23What is wrong with me?
00:57:35You don't actually like this guy.
00:57:37He, he's a jerk.
00:57:38He's a real, he's an attractive jerk, but...
00:57:42Get it together, Samantha.
00:57:43Why are you acting like this?
00:57:47He's not that cute.
00:57:49Everything's gone.
00:57:52Hey, are you okay?
00:57:53I...
00:57:55I think I might actually like Parker.
00:58:00What?
00:58:01Are you kidding me?
00:58:03That's, that's awful and...
00:58:05That's great.
00:58:07That's awful and great at the same time.
00:58:09Is it?
00:58:10Oh my, totally.
00:58:12Okay, if Parker finds out who you are, then...
00:58:15There's no way he's gonna have a problem with Tony and I,
00:58:17and then we can all, we can all live happily ever after.
00:58:20And you make it look so easy.
00:58:23Trust me.
00:58:23And I may have already told Dad about Parker and Tony anyways.
00:58:28Wait, what?
00:58:30It's okay.
00:58:30He wasn't angry per se, just grumbly.
00:58:35Great.
00:58:36Look, Sam.
00:58:37Everything is gonna be just fine.
00:58:39Look at me.
00:58:40Go in there and get yourself some true love.
00:58:43Can I please see your after dinner and drink selection?
00:58:56Mm-hmm.
00:58:57I'd like you so much.
00:58:59Miss me?
00:59:01Gabby.
00:59:01So, what is next on our taste menu?
00:59:05Well, I was looking at the dessert menu and I thought that could be fun.
00:59:08Hmm, someone likes to skip dessert, I see.
00:59:11Sometimes I enjoy things that are sweet.
00:59:14You really should consider staying in Herman.
00:59:22It, uh, seems like a nice place to live.
00:59:27Herman's turning into a huge wine destination, and you would be great in the wine business.
00:59:32I'm not just saying that.
00:59:35Look, Parker, um, there's something that I need to tell you that I...
00:59:41Oh, Sam, buddy.
00:59:42Your father has outdone himself this year.
00:59:45This Herman Hoff Norton is, oh, it's amazing.
00:59:49Your father.
00:59:50Hey, Parker Williams, you made it.
00:59:52Yeah.
00:59:53Be good to this one.
00:59:54She's Herman Hoff royalty.
00:59:56I've noticed since she was a baby.
00:59:59Royalty, huh?
00:59:59I remember her and her sister Emily running around those wine cellars like it was their own personal playground.
01:00:06You don't say.
01:00:07Remember that?
01:00:08Oh, and her mother made the most wonderful blends.
01:00:12You know, we're kind of sad that you didn't get into wine.
01:00:15Maybe someday.
01:00:16Well, love the Norton.
01:00:20I hope you guys have a good holiday.
01:00:21I'll see you around.
01:00:22Bye.
01:00:25Look, Parker, I can't explain.
01:00:28What's there to explain?
01:00:29You're, uh, you're Herman Hoff.
01:00:32I know.
01:00:33I tried to tell you.
01:00:33I should have seen this coming.
01:00:34I'm such an idiot.
01:00:36No wonder you knew so much about wine.
01:00:40No wonder you knew so much about me.
01:00:42I'm sorry.
01:00:43Wait a minute.
01:00:45Did Tony put you up to this?
01:00:48I mean...
01:00:50Yes.
01:00:52It was my idea.
01:00:56Are you trying to deliberately sink our winery?
01:00:58No.
01:00:59I love Emily.
01:01:00I just want to be happy with her.
01:01:04You've been dating her behind my back.
01:01:05You've been dating the competition.
01:01:07Yes, Parker.
01:01:07I love her.
01:01:09So you're giving up your shares?
01:01:10You can't do that.
01:01:15Yes, I can.
01:01:17We made an agreement, remember?
01:01:19That if either of us jeopardized our winery, the offending party would forfeit his share.
01:01:25Yes, yes.
01:01:26Why don't you just let him be happy, and then maybe you can be happy.
01:01:29You can quit the act now.
01:01:31You're real great.
01:01:32Thank you so much for your work, but we're done here.
01:01:36You know what?
01:01:37No hard feelings.
01:01:38Let's just, uh...
01:01:40Let's just see who the best winemaker in town is, huh?
01:01:45We are done.
01:01:46I don't know.
01:02:12I can't get her to come out of her room.
01:02:16Well, I can't say I blame her.
01:02:23Wait, are you saying this is my fault?
01:02:27She called me to come here, come home and help her, but she was dating him long before I got here.
01:02:33And that's the problem.
01:02:36That I don't come home.
01:02:38Bingo.
01:02:41Dad, I don't know if you know this, but I have a job, so I can't just take off massive amounts of time at work.
01:02:46But you can make an effort.
01:02:49You pop in here for a day or two, here and there, and then you leave.
01:02:56Are you really that mad at me?
01:02:57Yeah.
01:02:58Why?
01:02:58Because you're stubborn.
01:03:01And we're gonna lose this whole thing if you don't get with the times.
01:03:04I can't with...
01:03:05Are we really gonna argue about that again?
01:03:08Yeah, because you don't trust me, Dad.
01:03:10I don't know how many times I have to tell you this, but I'm good at making wine.
01:03:14I'm really good at it.
01:03:15And I never said you weren't.
01:03:19But what?
01:03:19You just are never willing to change.
01:03:25Because...
01:03:26I can't.
01:03:29Because of Mom.
01:03:32And I'm so sick of you using Mom as an excuse.
01:03:35Because even Mom knew that we have to change our blends every year depending on the harvest.
01:03:40And she listened to the vines.
01:03:42I am not gonna let go of the last thing I have of your mother.
01:03:52Her formula, Dad.
01:03:57If you think that's the last thing that represents Mom, you're even more lost than I thought.
01:04:06I don't know how to be without her.
01:04:08And you think I do?
01:04:17But what I do know is that she wants us to move on.
01:04:21And she doesn't want us fighting.
01:04:26And you wonder why I never come home, Dad.
01:04:31We'll be gone in the morning.
01:04:38What were you thinking?
01:04:48Oh, good morning to you, too.
01:04:51Why can't you let me be happy?
01:04:55You can be happy.
01:04:56You just can't date the competition.
01:04:58You did?
01:04:59Yeah, under false pretense.
01:05:02So what?
01:05:04Do you like her?
01:05:07Do you like her?
01:05:11Yes.
01:05:12I liked her.
01:05:14But I was tricked into it.
01:05:15So that is a false pretense.
01:05:18Okay.
01:05:19Listen, Parker.
01:05:19If you like Samantha, why don't we just tear up the contracts in the end?
01:05:23Because that's not how this works.
01:05:26We signed the contract because love makes people like us make bad choices.
01:05:31But there are choices to make.
01:05:33Sure.
01:05:34But if you want to work at this winery, there are rules.
01:05:39And dating the competition is a flagrant violation of that.
01:05:46Do you understand?
01:05:49I'm sorry.
01:06:05Dad, Sam's gone and she's not answering her phone.
01:06:09Yeah, I know.
01:06:11What did you say to her?
01:06:14It's not your business, little one.
01:06:17Okay, Dad.
01:06:18Whatever is going on between the two of you, you need to work it out.
01:06:24She wants...
01:06:25She wants me to change the plans.
01:06:28I can't do that.
01:06:31Why?
01:06:34Because that was Mom's job?
01:06:41Dad.
01:06:41Dad, you still have Mom in Sam and I.
01:06:48But I'm telling you, you are going to lose Sam with your stubbornness.
01:06:55And Sam has been making blends for a long time and she's really, really good at it.
01:07:00In fact, she made a red blend and I put it in oak barrels.
01:07:11I haven't touched it because I wanted to surprise...
01:07:13Wait a minute.
01:07:15Where?
01:07:17Deep in the cellar.
01:07:18We had our own little secret operation and the first blends we made have been there for seven years.
01:07:27Seven years?
01:07:31Show me.
01:07:41Hello.
01:07:42You've got to be kidding me.
01:07:50Why did she say anything?
01:07:52She didn't, but you weren't listening.
01:07:55Look, Dad, we will always have our traditional wines, like the Norton.
01:08:00But we've got to get creative with our blends.
01:08:03I mean, that's why Mom was changing her red blend every single year.
01:08:08And Sam is brilliant at making wine.
01:08:13I think she got the gift from Mom.
01:08:17Have you even tried any of these?
01:08:19No, but I have just been saving them for this very occasion.
01:08:25Mm-hmm.
01:08:30Oh, go on.
01:08:47Yeah, it's really something, right?
01:08:53Look, Dad.
01:08:54If we don't change, we are not going to be competitive with any other winery.
01:09:03And we are going to get left behind.
01:09:10But you know what I...
01:09:11I really, truly believe is that...
01:09:14the best way to honor Mom
01:09:18is to...
01:09:21to simply strive to do our best
01:09:24and to make the best.
01:09:30I think that's what she would really want.
01:09:34You're right.
01:09:36You're right.
01:09:40Honey, I am so sorry.
01:09:41It's all right.
01:09:44It's all right here.
01:09:45Just...
01:09:47Don't tell me.
01:09:48Tell Sam.
01:09:50Just tell Sam before it's too late.
01:09:56It's all right.
01:10:11Sam.
01:10:12Sam.
01:10:13Wait.
01:10:14Dad.
01:10:15Emily, what are you guys doing here?
01:10:16Sam.
01:10:17I'm sorry.
01:10:18About everything.
01:10:19Emily told me about the...
01:10:20Told you what?
01:10:21I told him about the blends you made.
01:10:22And we tasted the one you made before you moved out.
01:10:24Wait a minute.
01:10:25I thought those were long gone, guys.
01:10:26I stored them.
01:10:27in oak barrels in a cellar.
01:10:28Sam.
01:10:29Sam.
01:10:30Your blend from seven years ago.
01:10:31It's amazing.
01:10:32It's the key to this contest.
01:10:34It's gonna save Hermanoff.
01:10:35I'm sorry.
01:10:36That I've been so focused...
01:10:37In the past and not seeing the future.
01:10:38But...
01:10:39You're the future, Sam.
01:10:40You're the future, Sam.
01:10:41Both of you.
01:10:42Dad, are you sure?
01:10:56I'm sorry.
01:10:57That I've been so focused...
01:10:58In the past and not seeing the future.
01:11:00But...
01:11:01You're the future, Sam.
01:11:04Both of you.
01:11:06Dad, are you sure?
01:11:09Dad, are you sure?
01:11:11That red blend of yours is spectacular.
01:11:15You are our secret weapon to beating reserve sellers.
01:11:24All right.
01:11:25What do you say we go bottle some wine?
01:11:27Let's go bottle some wine.
01:11:39It's time to celebrate
01:11:54The moment we've been waiting for
01:11:58The Christmas tree is up
01:12:00The wreath is on the door
01:12:04And at the sunny parts
01:12:07The party's about to start
01:12:10It's puffing weather
01:12:12It's puffing weather
01:12:14Everyone put on your ugly sweater
01:12:17It's our favorite time of the year
01:12:21Yeah!
01:12:27It's Uncle Carolyn
01:12:29It's singing out of tune
01:12:33My brother, Freaking
01:12:35We're in the Christmas mood
01:12:39Kissed underneath the mistletoe
01:12:43And regret it
01:12:44Tomorrow
01:12:45It's puffing weather
01:12:48It's puffing weather
01:12:49Everyone put on your ugly sweater
01:12:52It's our favorite start
01:12:55Of the year
01:12:56Yeah!
01:12:57Yeah!
01:12:58Hey!
01:13:05Freak
01:13:06And regret it
01:13:10If I did
01:13:15aproximadamente
01:13:15It's夕's and Yoshi
01:13:15It's puffing weather
01:13:17It's puffing weather
01:13:19Everyone put on your ugly sweater
01:13:22It's our favorite time of the year!
01:13:52We're gonna need to tally up those votes really soon. So if you haven't had a chance to fill out your ballot
01:13:58I'm asking you please go over there taste the wines and votes, okay?
01:14:03As you know the grand prize this year is going to be an acre of planted Norton grapes
01:14:08pretty exciting
01:14:15They seem to really love it. You think? Did you make enough? I hope so dad
01:14:22Have you tried the reserve cellars yet?
01:14:25No, I'm nervous
01:14:28Go ahead
01:14:31Great
01:14:37Polaris, please
01:14:47Pretty good
01:14:49Hmm
01:14:51Thought you'd like it
01:14:53Hi
01:14:57Surprised you came
01:14:59Just supporting my family
01:15:01No, the truth at last
01:15:03Everything I told you was the truth
01:15:05Except that I'm
01:15:07Yeah
01:15:09Hate to break it to you, but a lie of omission is still a lie, so
01:15:11Look, I get you can be angry at me
01:15:13But what I don't get is you continuously not letting Tony and Emily be together
01:15:19Well, Tony's a big boy and he knows the rules
01:15:21Are they in the competition or you're out of the winery?
01:15:23You're the only one competing
01:15:25You're the only one competing
01:15:27And nobody wins because Tony and Emily can't be together
01:15:31And I would do anything to make my sister happy
01:15:33Including pretending to like me, right?
01:15:35Do you want to know the truth?
01:15:36Go for it
01:15:37You seem like you know everything, you want to know the real truth?
01:15:39Sure, let's see
01:15:41I actually
01:15:43I actually
01:15:45I actually started to really like you
01:15:49Under this abrasive personality with someone that I
01:15:51Started to care about
01:15:55Loved that you loved to make wine
01:15:57But more importantly I loved how much you loved your stepmother
01:16:03What's your point?
01:16:05My point is, I saw the real you
01:16:07It's not that scary
01:16:11You made a good blend
01:16:17I know
01:16:19Thanks
01:16:21They're done with Vitaly
01:16:27Work calls
01:16:29Fine
01:16:31You try my blend?
01:16:33It's only been sitting in oak barrels for seven years
01:16:37Goes down smoother than yours
01:16:41How is that even possible?
01:16:43How is that even possible?
01:16:53Excuse me, could I?
01:16:55One arm enough, please
01:16:57Go on
01:16:59One arm enough, please
01:17:00Okay, everyone gather round
01:17:09Okay, everyone gather around.
01:17:21The votes have been counted, and the finalists this year are...
01:17:27Reserve sellers.
01:17:34And Hermann Hoff.
01:17:39Oh, good job.
01:17:42Now, our two finalists will have to go head-to-head with the judges who will make the final decision.
01:17:47Did you talk to Parker?
01:17:49Yeah.
01:17:50And every red line was so awesome.
01:17:52I hope we crush him.
01:17:54Winemakers, Magnetic State. All red blends were submitted this year were so wonderful.
01:17:59I'm good.
01:18:00No, no, no. You.
01:18:02Sam, this is your wine. You go.
01:18:04You're a better winemaker than I could ever be. Go get up there, kid.
01:18:09Sam, anything you'd like to say?
01:18:21Thank you, everyone, for being here, and I hope you're having a great time at our Christmas blender.
01:18:27Parker, anything you'd like to say?
01:18:30Um, tip your waiters.
01:18:35Ellen, tip your waiters.
01:18:37Okay, it looks like Reserve Cellars is gonna be first.
01:18:41Judges?
01:18:42Yes.
01:18:43Nine point five.
01:18:44Nine point four.
01:18:469.5, 9.4, and 9.5, that is an incredible piece of the score.
01:19:15Let's go.
01:19:16On to the Hermann Hoff Red Blend.
01:19:18Hermann Hoff, it's going to be a little rough to do that, okay?
01:19:22I am different.
01:19:23What?
01:19:24It's so nice having Hermann Hoff Red Blend.
01:19:28The judges seem to be discussing the Hermann Hoff Red Blend.
01:19:30That's kind of unusual.
01:19:31Okay.
01:19:32So, judges, one more time to deliberate.
01:19:35If Emily and Tony be together, I'll forfeit the competition.
01:19:38You're careful.
01:19:40I don't care about winning.
01:19:45I just want my sister to be happy.
01:19:49Judges?
01:19:509.8.
01:19:52Another 9.8.
01:19:56Another 9.8.
01:19:57Another 9.8.
01:20:019.9.
01:20:02Another 9.8.
01:20:04Another 9.8.
01:20:06Another 9.9.
01:20:1310.
01:20:14Another 9.8.
01:20:279.9.
01:20:36The highest score I've ever seen.
01:20:39I'm gonna know where's that.
01:20:40What? What?
01:20:40Your pop is the winner.
01:20:42You're kidding me, church.
01:20:44Go.
01:20:47Sam, can you say some words?
01:20:49Come on over.
01:20:50Congratulations, sweetie.
01:21:02For as long as I can remember,
01:21:04I have always wanted to be a winemaker.
01:21:07My mother, my father, and my sister are all reasons why I love wine.
01:21:25Girls?
01:21:25Sam, Emily.
01:21:28Sam, the lights went out.
01:21:32I didn't know the two of you were still in here.
01:21:34Don't worry.
01:21:35Sam was looking out for me.
01:21:37That's what big sisters are for.
01:21:39I'll always look out for you.
01:21:41That's right.
01:21:41You guys will always have each other.
01:21:43Okay, now listen.
01:21:44Do you want to see what I've been working on?
01:21:45Yes, yeah.
01:21:46No.
01:21:47Yes.
01:21:47Let's go.
01:21:51Okay, I need you both to take a deep breath and then smell this, okay?
01:21:56What do you smell?
01:21:58Wine.
01:21:58Anything else, Sam?
01:22:04Cherry, plum, cinnamon?
01:22:08Very good, Sam.
01:22:10You're going to be a better winemaker than me and your dad someday.
01:22:14I'm a fifth generation winemaker,
01:22:17and I couldn't be more proud to stand up here today.
01:22:21So I just want to say thank you, everyone,
01:22:23and I hope you guys all have a happy holiday.
01:22:28That was a really beautiful message.
01:22:34Parker, any comments?
01:22:46Samantha's right.
01:22:51Christmas is a time for joy and love, and...
01:22:53Helping those closest to us be happy.
