I've run the numbers, Uncle
Travis, and it turns out we'll

produce twice as many
grapes as we can use this year.

Yep, and we'll sell the
excess grapes that we can't

use in California, like
your dad always did, Beth.

I want you to try something.

Great.

First taste of your new wine?

You'll see.

So...

I lowered the sugar content and smoothed
out the tannins in this year's Pinot Noir.

Experimenting already?

Just taste it.

Wow.

This is amazing.

Well, it's probably
just beginner's luck.

My niece, the winemaker.

You know your dad
would be so proud of you.

Well, you're the one who insisted we
put in the new drip irrigation system,

and it's made all the difference
in the world to our grapes.

Well, that's true.

You can't make good wine
without good grapes, right?

Exactly.

I mean, we're growing the
best Pinot Noir grapes in Oregon.

We should increase production.

Ah, Isabella.

We're not selling enough
bottles to increase production.

Not yet.

Anton.

Hi, it's so good to see you.

Thank you so much for your time.

Of course, Isabella.

What can I do for you?

Well...

I need a wine distributor.

Ricci Heritage Reserve.

I like the name.

Oh, thank you.

I named it to honor my dad.

He was a good friend.

Chateau Saint-Fenier?

Are you distributing
for them now?

Yes.

I just snagged the
North American rights.

That's so impressive.

So, who else have you
shared your new Pinot with?

You were the first.

Good color.

Smooth.

Big flavor.

Notes of black currant
and orange peel.

Fresh and complex.

How many cases
have you produced?

A thousand.

Unfortunately, that's not really
enough for me to take you on as a client.

We're a boutique family
producer, but we could double our

output by next year with
your help as our distributor.

I worked with your father on the side
as a favor because we were friends.

He wasn't interested in
international distribution.

He was happy to sell his wine in
local restaurants and wine bars.

But I don't think
that's what you want.

No.

You're right.

We're bigger.

We've modernized.

We're more efficient.

That's why we're
producing more grapes.

And I've gotten a lot of really
good feedback on this Pinot Noir.

See, I see an
opportunity here, Anton.

I appreciate that.

And although I personally love
Oregonian wines, they're a tough sell.

Well, Clover Falls Vineyard
is just up the road from me.

I saw at least five Oregon
wines when I walked in.

Gold medal.

West Coast Wine Competition.

Silver medal.

National Chardonnay Festival.

You know my dad didn't
believe in wine competitions?

He thought they were rigged.

If you want to grow your sales, you've got
to be more aggressive with your marketing.

Okay.

Maybe you should enter a
few local wine competitions.

Build up your following.

How long do you
think that'll take?

You could be
looking at a few years.

Years?

What's your hurry?

Well, I want to take my family's winery to
the next level, and Anton, I truly believe

that the Ricci Heritage
Reserve is the wine to do that.

Chateau St. Finier won Le Grand
Prix du Vin du Monde in Paris.

Maybe that's the wine
competition I should enter.

The Grand Prix is the
Olympics of wine competitions.

It's what you work
up to, not start with.

Take my advice.

Start here in Oregon.

When you've won a couple
of competitions, give me a call.

My door is always open.

Okay.

Well, thank you so much.

I really appreciate it, Anton.

Of course.

Good luck.

Anton said we shouldn't even
bother entering the French competition.

That we should just start local.

Why not do both?

This is your year, Bella.

I feel it.

Go big or go home, right?

That's great, but the odds of us actually
winning the competition, not so great.

I know.

Chateau St. Finier has won
the last five years in a row.

But you know something?

This could still be a great
opportunity for you to network.

There's bound to be other
wine distributors there.

That's true.

And your friend Lacey,
she's still in Paris, isn't she?

You haven't visited her yet.

Yeah, but this is my first wine.

I don't want to get
ahead of myself.

No.

Bella, you know my grandfather back in
Italy, you know what he used to say to me?

Fortune favors the bold.

I know, but we're not
in Italy, Uncle Travis.

I think I should just
take Anton's advice.

You know, start local,
see what happens.

Hmm?

Isabelle!

Read this.

Dear Miss Ricci,
congratulations.

We are pleased to inform you that
your Pinot Noir has been accepted into the

Grand Prix du Vin du
Monde competition in Paris.

You entered my Pinot
Noir into the Grand Prix?

And you were accepted.

First time out.

I thought we
agreed to stay local.

Uncle Travis, I
can't go to Paris.

I have work to do.

Bella, your dad wanted
you to enjoy your life.

Go to Paris.

See the sights.

It'll do you good.

I love Paris in the springtime.

I love Paris in the fall.

I love Paris in the
winter when it drizzles.

I love Paris in the
summer when it sizzles.

I love Paris every moment.

Every moment of the year.

Every moment of the year.

Why, oh why do I love Paris?

Because my love is here.

Have a wonderful day, Monsieur.

Bonjour.

Hi, I'm Isabella Ricci.

I'm here for the
wine competition.

Ah oui, of course.

Mademoiselle Ricci,
your room is 425.

On the fourth floor.

Thank you.

Enjoy your stay.

Also, I had a case of wine
shipped here last week.

I believe it is already
in your room, Madame.

Thank you.

I'm sorry.

Excuse me.

Chat lag.

Ah.

Reception.

Hi, yes, this is room 425.

You delivered the
wrong bag to my room.

It's a black Samsonite.

Mademoiselle, we will do everything we can
to resolve the situation, but the hotel is

full and it may be a while before
we manage to get it back to you.

Okay.

Thank you.

It has a tag with my name on it.

Merci.

Merci.

Okay.

Isabella Ricci?

Mm-hmm?

I believe this is your bag.

Oh, right.

Wow, that was so fast.

I really appreciate it.

Here you go.

No, that's not necessary.

Oh, the hotel doesn't
let you guys take tips?

Uh, just, um, one second, okay?

Just stay right there.

Um, Lorenzo?

Okay, here, take this.

No, uh, no, thank you.

Oh, no, no, please,
come on, I insist.

It's really good, I promise.

Okay, um... Oh, oh, it's a bag.

Yes, my bag.

Bag!

Here you go.

Um, okay, well, merci beaucoup.

Au revoir and, uh, bon appetit.

Thank you.

Bye.

Surprise!

Lacey!

So, what do you think of Paris?

Oh, I love it, but everyone's
so fashionable here.

Yeah, well, it is the
fashion capital of the world.

Wait, aren't you supposed
to be working right now?

I am, but my boss
is out, so I ditched.

I want to hear everything
about everything.

Are you dating anyone?

Yeah, I'm in a
committed relationship.

With your winery?

You know me so well.

Look, I know it was a bad
ending between you and

Stuart, but you should
maybe get back out there.

No, look, I gave dating a shot.

I did, I just, um, you
know, I've been really busy

trying to update my winery
and I don't have time for men.

Yes, you do.

Come on, tell me, are
you seeing anyone?

I am.

Yeah?

Yeah.

I'm dating a French guy.

His name is Luc.

Oh, Luc, I like it.

And he is a chef.

Stop it.

You're not dating a French chef.

Yeah, I am.

Oh, and his new restaurant opens
this week, so you've got to come.

Okay, great.

Because that means
I'm not going to be able to

convince you to move to
the West Coast any time soon.

Are you kidding?

No way.

I love it here.

Maybe, just maybe, you will fall
in love with Paris just like I have.

So, Lacey, I'm going
to be here for a week.

So, stranger things
have happened.

Don't tell me that some spoiled
guest is making you check in for them.

Actually, I am a guest.

Oh, so you're not?

No, I'm not a bellman.

I'm so sorry.

Hey, you can still
keep my tip, though.

Your tip?

My wine?

Ah, yes, I have
not tried it yet.

Isabella Ricci.

Jacques.

Oh, Jacques, that's very French.

Yes, I am French.

Isabella Ricci, Ricci Bridge
winery in Oregon, checking in.

What's that?

These are my passes
to the winemaker events.

Oh, I'll take one of
those, too, please.

They are not on the list
for any outside events.

They are for returning
competitors only.

Oh.

Don't worry.

These events are
actually quite boring.

Oh, but not for me.

Uh, well, now you have
time to explore Paris.

You should enjoy it.

Oh, no, I didn't come
here to enjoy Paris.

You know, I came here to work.

You can't mix
business with pleasure.

I really need to find a distributor for my
winery, and I don't need any distractions.

Ah, bon.

In this case, I
wish you good luck.

Au revoir.

Oh, um, see you.

When does Maman get into town?

Ah, there's been an issue
with the Chardonnay grapes.

She'll be here by the weekend.

Good, good.

There's an idea I want
to talk to her about.

New oak?

Jacques.

We're making
Chablis, not grape juice.

Hi, I'll have a Merlot.

Domaine Louis
Cole, s'il vous plaît.

If you're going for a
Merlot, try the Lebec.

The Louis Cole is too earthy.

I think I can recognize
a good Merlot.

I apologize for my brother.

He's very opinionated
when it comes to wine.

Says the man who won't drink
anything that has not won a gold medal.

Ah, we only drink
gold medal winners.

Life's too short
to drink bad wine.

So, if my wine wins
the gold medal, I guess

you'll be drinking it by
the end of the week?

Oh, you're here
for the competition.

Please, come join us.

I'm Maurice.

Isabella Ricci.

Nice to meet you, Maurice.

So, Isabella, what wine are you
entering in this year's competition?

Pinot Noir.

Oh, tough category.

Chateau Saint-Fournier has won the gold
medal for the last five years in a row.

Yeah, I know.

I've tried their pinots
and they're normally

great, but last year's
wasn't quite as good.

Not quite as good?

No, look, I get it.

Chateau Saint-Fournier
is a gold star winery from a

grand old French family,
but I think they've peaked.

Peaked?

Mm-hmm.

Well, Chateau Saint-Fournier
is stuck in the past.

I mean, come on, people have moved on from
the 18th century where we had to handpick

all of our grapes and crush
them under our bare feet.

There are new winemaking
technologies available.

You finally said
something that I agree with.

Just because something is
new does not make it better.

And you think that your wine is
better than Chateau Saint-Fournier?

Well, I don't know if it's better, but I
think I have a shot at winning the gold.

Hmm.

Pierre, what do you think?

Hmm.

I don't see a spin-off very
much, Monsieur Fournier.

You're Maurice and Jacques.

The Fournier brothers.

As in...

Chateau Saint-Fournier.

Enchanté.

I am so sorry.

I was not trying to
be rude in any way.

No, no, it was nothing.

No, you know what?

Chateau Saint-Fournier is an
amazing winery and I love your wines.

But you are going to beat us.

Well, I'm going to try.

Come on, isn't that
why we're all here?

You know, actually, I
will have the Louis Côte.

I suppose most people can
tell the difference anyway.

Okay, you know what?

I can tell you the grape and
the region of any wine in this bar.

That's quite a talent.

Well, I grew up in a vineyard.

My dad taught me every
grape under the sun.

Every grape?

So you make the wine yourself?

Took over last year.

Congratulations.

But a blind taste test is hard
even for a world-class wine judge.

For you... Yes, we would
not want to embarrass you.

Okay, Chateau Saint-Fournier.

Let's make a little wager.

Blind taste test, three wines, and
if I get them right, you help me get

into the returning
winemakers' lunch tomorrow.

Interesting.

But if you can't guess the
wines, what happens then?

Hmm, I don't know.

You tell me.

You admit that my
Chateau Saint-Fournier Pinot

is better than your
Ritchie Ridge heritage.

Deal.

Ah, bon.

Glass number one.

Mademoiselle?

Number one.

Munchins.

Chiaretto grapes.

From...

Tuscany.

That's right.

I know.

Glass number two.

I'll get this.

No more lucky guesses.

Chardonnay grapes.

Dry.

Flinty.

Has to be Chablis.

Wow.

Glass number trois.

Good luck with
this one, Isabella.

You're going to need it.

I'm going to hearing you say
that my Pinot is better than yours.

I don't know.

Okay.

I don't think she's got it.

This one is tricky.

Perhaps you would
like to give up?

Admit defeat?

No, my father
didn't raise a quitter.

I know this one.

Riesling, New York.

Bravo!

Oregon for the win.

Yes, indeed.

I am very impressed.

You know, this is a rare
talent you have, Isabella.

It makes me want
to try your wine.

Thank you.

I appreciate that.

Well, Isabella, it was
lovely meeting you, but now

we have to go meet
with our Italian distributor.

Pierre, put her wine
on our tab, please.

Have a good evening
and enjoy your merlot.

Well, thank you for the wine
and I'll see you at lunch tomorrow.

Don't forget my invite.

I won't.

Bonsoir.

Louis Gault, s'il vous plaît.

Ladies

and gentlemen,
I'm Philippe Thibault,

President of Le Grand
Prix des Vins du Monde.

In the next few days,
we will be judging

over a thousand wines
from over 40 countries.

The wines will be
divided into six categories.

Red, white, sparkling,
rose, dessert, and ice wine.

The winners will advance to the final
round where they will be judged again.

The bronze, silver,
and gold medals will be

awarded in each category
at the awards gala.

Good luck to all of you.

May the best wine win.

Thank you.

Oh, um, wait.

What's on the agenda, boys?

Agenda?

What agenda?

Oh, you know, we're
the Pinot Makers.

We've got to stick together.

That's right.

Well, Jacques
will take care of it.

He can introduce you
to all the right people.

What people?

Journalists, distributors.

Really?

Because that would
be so amazing.

I don't know anyone.

Perfect.

Jacques knows everybody.

So, this is so great.

Yes.

We're going to have so much fun.

Jacques, Cherie.

Christina.

Hello.

Good.

Oh, you look beautiful.

Thank you.

I was hoping we could have
dinner while you were in Paris.

Yes, yes, this would be perfect.

Sorry.

Christina, this
is Isabella Ricci.

Isabella, nice to meet you.

You too.

Christina is one of the best
sommeliers in all of Paris.

Oh, that's amazing.

Well, then, you're going
to need one of these.

Ricci Heritage Reserve.

Ricci Ridge Winery.

Yes, from Willamette in Oregon.

I've never heard of it.

Oh, well, it's our first time
in the competition, so...

Congratulations.

Thanks.

Do you have a bottle of
your new Pinot, Jacques?

I want to share it with
the chef in my restaurant.

Bien sûr.

I'll have someone
send it over to you.

Parfait.

A bientôt.

A plus tard.

What's wrong?

It's just, you know, everyone
knows you're a wine jock.

It's practically throwing
loose all to you.

I just have to figure out what I
need to do to get noticed around here.

Can I give you some advice?

You know, why
do people ask that?

Because they're always
going to give advice anyway.

Well, I was just trying to be
polite, but okay, I will say it.

You need more patience.

Try to...

relax a little.

Relax?

Yes.

Look, you have an
amazing palate, Isabella.

Now, I have not tried
your wine yet, but it must be

incredible if it was
accepted into the competition.

So you don't
have to try so hard.

Just let the distributors and
the sommeliers come to you.

You seem a bit too eager.

Oh, well, I am eager.

I only have a few days in Paris here to
find a distributor, and speaking of which,

how are we going to get me
into returning winemakers' lunch?

Yes, I have been thinking
about this very carefully.

My mother can't be there,
so you use her name.

Say that you are
Margot Fournier.

Wait, you want me to
say that I am your mother?

Why not?

Well, how old is she?

French women never
speak about their age.

No, no, no, we're going to
need to just stop and clarify.

Do you actually believe that people
will think that I am your mother?

It's the best I can do.

What?

No, you're serious.

I...

I'm Margot Fournier.

Margot Fournier has
already checked in, Madame.

Oh.

Ah, it must be
under Isabella Ricci.

From Oregon?

I'm afraid you're
not in the list.

Are you a returning winemaker?

Not exactly.

Miss Ricci is with me.

Sorry, but she's not in
the list, Monsieur Fournier.

She's my plus one.

But of course.

Thank you so much
for saving the day.

I did not know that my mother
was coming back to Paris so soon.

Ah, merci.

Thank you.

Jacques!

Ah, mon chéri.

Ah, the only new
face I've seen all day.

Are you going to
introduce me to your friend?

This is Isabella Ricci.

Isabella, this is my
mother, Margot Fournier.

Oh, it's so nice to meet you.

I'm from Ricci Ridge Winery.

You're from America?

Ah, Napa Valley?

Sonoma?

Um, a little north.

Oregon.

Oregon?

Lovely.

Cool climate.

The Oregon wines are similar
to the Pinot and Burgundy.

Yes, yes.

I actually entered a Pinot
Noir into the competition.

Good for you.

It's nice to see more
women in the competition.

Oh.

The Pinot Noir grapes may be the
same, but New World wines are different.

Like comparing the Empire
State Building with the Eiffel Tower.

We, uh, prefer the
traditional process.

Well, not all of us.

I love traditional wine, but I
just find that tastes have evolved.

That's why I shortened the
harvest and automated my process.

Exactly.

She knows how to wine.

Thank you so much.

My dad taught me
everything he knows.

A machine can't pick out the
best grapes like a vendangeur.

We get workers of the highest
skill to choose the best grapes.

We get workers of the highest
skill to choose the best grapes.

That's how the
ancient Romans did it.

Yeah, we all know how
things turned out for them.

Smile, everybody.

Jonathan Ronan is eavesdropping.

Jonathan Ronan?

As in the world's
top wine journalist?

Oui.

He's nothing but
a gossip monger.

Oh yeah, but all press
is good press, right?

I mean, free publicity.

Be careful what you wish for.

Jonathan's reviews
can be vicious.

Alors, here he comes.

Jonathan.

So nice to see you.

Comment ça va?

Jacques and Maurice.

I hear you've both entered very similar
pinots into this year's competition.

And the winner gets to choose
the future of Château Saint-Fournier.

Who told you that?

I have spies everywhere, Margot.

Is it true?

No comment.

Maurice and I both entered
wines into the competition to

make sure that Château
Saint-Fournier would win gold again.

You know, I heard the Ricci Heritage
Reserve is a real contender this year.

And you are?

I am the maker of
Ricci Heritage Reserve.

Never heard of it.

Oh, it's a real underdog story.

It's about a scrappy,
Argonian winery taking on

the traditional French
winemaking establishment.

You know, people
love that kind of stuff.

Well, not my readers.

They like reading stories
about the classic wineries.

The wineries that actually
have a chance at winning.

Well, I think that...

now may be a good
time for our interview.

Well, there's nothing
else of interest here, so...

A plus.

Bonne chance.

Bonne chance.

Don't worry about him.

Jonathan is mean to everyone.

I was just hoping to get some
exposure from my winery, Jacques.

I know, I know, but
it's going to take time.

Yeah, but that's the problem.

I don't have time.

Maybe I could help you.

We have lots of distributors.

Really?

Ah, Mick.

Jacques, great to see
you again, my friend.

Hello.

May I present to
you Isabella Ricci.

Hi, nice to meet you.

I'm Mick Hamilton with
Hamilton Fine Wines.

I handle all our North
American distribution.

Perfect.

I am the maker of the Ricci
Heritage Reserve from Oregon.

Oregon.

It's a bit of a tricky market.

Hey, Jacques, tell me, are you still
happy with your current distributor?

Mick, we've been with the
same people for decades.

You know this.

But listen, Isabella is an
exciting new winemaker.

She's here in the
competition for the first time.

She could be a
great get for you.

All right.

I'm intrigued, Miss Ricci.

Yeah, I'll give you
one of my cards.

And if you have one, I'll
send over a bottle to you.

This is all my
contact information.

And I very much look
forward to that bottle.

And Jacques, if you're ever
looking for a new distributor.

Merci, Mick.

That was incredible.

Thank you so much.

It was nothing.

No, it wasn't nothing.

You vouched for my wine.

You know, it doesn't mean he's
going to take you on as a client.

Yeah, yeah, I know.

But still, it was really,
really nice of you.

I suppose now I'm going
to have to try your wine.

What?

You haven't even tried it?

I...

Oh, sorry.

Oh, shoot.

I'm supposed to meet my
friend Lacey this afternoon.

So, uh, I'll see you later.

I'm gonna be back at the hotel.

You know, send him after dinner.

Okay.

I'll see you later.

Sure.

Later.

Bye.

Excuse me.

Is Lacey Betts here?

Okay, thanks.

Uh, Lacey!

Hi!

Oh my gosh, it's
so good to see you.

How are you doing?

I'm good, I'm good.

It's just, everyone in Paris
is so fashionable, and I was

hoping maybe you could help
me step up my game a little.

Yes, you've come to Maltimie, one
of the best fashion houses in Paris.

I can't believe they actually
pay you to work here.

It seems glamorous, but
we're gearing up for Fashion

Week, so I am literally gonna
be sleeping here this month.

Okay, here.

You should try this song.

Okay.

So, tell me, how's the wine
competition coming along?

Oh, I'm not even in the same
league as half these competitors.

Okay, that is way too big.

And you know the
winemakers here?

They own the top
wineries in the world.

Oh, winemakers like who?

Like Jacques and
Maryse Fournier.

Wait, did you meet
Jacques Fournier?

Yes.

What's he like?

Kind of charming.

And he told me that he
thinks I have a great palate.

Oh, he did, did he?

That's a very nice compliment.

And he should know.

His vineyard makes
the most amazing wine.

And Luke is obsessed
with their Pinot.

That looks amazing on you.

Yeah, I love it.

Actually, it looks
like I'm from Paris.

Yeah, well, fashion's
just an attitude.

You just gotta know you
look good to carry it off.

And you, my darling,
you look amazing.

Thank you so much, Ceci.

Yeah, of course.

How much do I owe you?

Nothing.

Just bring it back
when you're done.

Are you sure?

Yeah, I'm gonna be your
personal stylist while you're in Paris.

Ooh, never had my own
personal stylist before.

Yeah, well, we gotta keep
you looking good if you're

gonna be hanging out with
the likes of Jacques Fournier.

Okay, we are not hanging out.

He was named one of
France's most eligible bachelors.

Yes, well, I think that
he has a girlfriend.

Her name is Christina.

And she's a
world-famous sommelier.

Super gorgeous.

And you know what?

I didn't come here
to meet anyone.

No, of course not.

Because meeting somebody in the city
of love, I mean, that could never happen.

I know this look.

You're not setting me up.

Okay.

Bonsoir, Pierre.

Bonsoir.

Have you seen the
American woman that

Maurice and I were
speaking with last night?

The wine tester?

Yes.

No, not tonight.

Too bad.

Could you open this for me?

Perfect.

Ladies and gentlemen, the
judging of the wines will now begin.

Hi, excuse me.

Um, hi, excuse me.

You don't happen to know what
kind of wine we're tasting, do you?

It's a blind test.

We don't even see the labels.

It's just code.

Okay, of course.

Good morning.

Hi.

I've been looking for you.

Oh, yeah?

I tried your wine last night.

Oh, what did you think?

I'd rather not talk
about it here at the hotel.

What, you're just
going to make me wait?

You know that the wine
judging is going to take all day.

You'll make yourself
crazy if you wait here.

Yeah, I already have.

Okay, so, let's take a break.

How many different kinds of cheeses
do you think there are in France?

Oh, about 400, more or less.

I'm going to try them all.

And there are 470
top quality wines.

That might take a little longer.

Do you think you
can guess this one?

Let's see.

Chianti grapes.

From somewhere in Italy.

That's all I've got.

How do you do that?

I don't know.

My dad made me try every
single wine under the sun.

Wines are like fingerprints.

Each one is unique.

Yeah, my dad used to say that.

You know, he didn't
believe in marketing.

And he was fine with
being a local winemaker.

You know, just that.

I mean, not that there's
anything wrong with that.

No, of course not.

You want more than this.

Yeah, I do.

You know, I made the Ricci Heritage
Reserve to honor the legacy of my dad.

And I just, I want to make
wine that everyone loves.

And that is exactly
what you have done.

Oh, come on.

How can you be so sure?

Because.

I've tasted your
wine last night.

It's incredible.

Really?

You're not just teasing me?

No.

It's rich and complex.

Sophisticated.

The taste was like
velvet with a hint of spice.

It was perfection.

Bold and beautiful.

Unlike anything
I've ever tasted.

Okay, now you're just
getting carried away.

No, I'm serious.

Isabella, you have
made an incredible wine.

And that is the real
accomplishment.

You know, it doesn't
matter what the critics are

going to say or what will
happen with the competition.

You should feel
very proud of yourself.

Thanks.

What about you?

Did you always want
to be a winemaker?

I did not have a choice.

Wine is in my blood.

Yeah, but you
like the work, right?

Oh, I love it.

Maybe too much.

You know, everything
has its price.

What do you mean?

My ex-wife is from Paris and
she never liked living in Burgundy.

She did not even
really like wine.

You know, some things
are meant to be together.

The right wine, the right cheese,
they complement each other.

But she and I, unfortunately,
we were not a good pairing.

Oh, I'm sorry to hear that.

Thank you.

But you know, this
is all in the past.

Here is to the future.

This is the Cathédrale
Notre-Dame.

Wow, as in the Hunchback of?

Yes, the novel from Victor Hugo.

Or the musical.

Come on, we have
to take a photo.

Smile!

My brother and I used to play in there when
my mother would come to Paris for business.

Yeah, what's going
on with you two?

It seems like there's
a little bit of tension.

Maurice entered his own Château
Saint-Fournier-Pinot into the competition.

I made mine.

We entered separately.

And whoever made the best wine
will decide the future of our company.

Oh, wow, so you have
a lot to prove to Maurice.

I mean, you really
need to win the gold.

You know, when we are not talking
about business, we are the best of friends.

But lately, this is
all we talk about.

Well, where's Maurice now?

He is at a meeting with
our British distributor.

Ugh, the Brits
love their Burgundy.

You know, we actually
sell more to Americans.

Huh?

Well, I'm not keeping you from
anything really important, am I?

No, no, he would prefer
that I am not there so

I don't scare off our
buyers with my new ideas.

Oh, come on, I'm
sure that's not true.

Listen, I worked with my dad and
my uncle and we disagreed all the time,

but in the end, we're family.

And family is important to you?

Oh, it's everything.

I could not agree more.

This is Le Petit Palais.

It's very beautiful.

Would you like to go?

Sure.

Yeah, that's it.

This is Sacré-Cur, one of the
most beautiful landmarks in all of Paris.

So amazing.

Yeah.

I

had a really great time today.

You're a wonderful tour guide.

I had fun as well.

Well, uh...

Here we are at the elevators.

You know, they're announcing
the finalists at breakfast tomorrow.

And I was wondering if
maybe you wanted to join me?

I would love to.

Except I have to
be there anyway.

Right, of course.

I suppose you do.

Well then, um... Okay,
I'll see you tomorrow.

At the breakfast, we
both have to be there.

So, okay.

Good luck.

Bonne chance à toi.

You disappeared yesterday.

He's been busy showing his
friend Isabella around Paris.

Playing the tour
guide to the American?

No, I just wanted to be polite.

And you know her wine is superb.

Well, that's high
praise coming from you.

Are you concerned?

No, I think it might
help us improve.

We don't need to improve.

Chateau Sinfonie has been made exactly
the same way for the last 300 years.

You know, Maurice,
change is a good thing.

Please don't argue in public.

Where is your badge?

Did you forget it?

I couldn't find it this morning.

Hey!

Did you make it
to the next round?

They're making the announcements
in a few minutes, so I actually gotta go.

Oh, wait, can you bring Jacques
to Luc's restaurant opening tonight?

He's dying to meet him.

Yeah, sure, I can ask him.

I gotta run.

Bonjour.

Bonjour, Isabella.

Good morning, everyone.

The judges have decided which
wines will enter the final round.

And from these finalists, they will
decide the medal winners in each category.

We'll start with Pinot Noir.

So, first off, is Chateau Saint-Fournier,
Pinot Noir, Bourg-en-Dufresne,

Maurice Fournier.

And the next, Golden
Sky Winery, Napa

Valley, California, Seth
and Diana Randworth.

And for the next
wine, it's the first time

that this region's ever
made it to the final.

Empire George Winery, Finger
Lakes, New York, Simon Robert.

And then, of course, Chateau
Saint-Fournier, Réserve

Pinot Noir, Bourg-en-Dufresne,
Jacques Fournier.

Thank you.

Congratulations to everyone.

I...

Oh, sorry.

I didn't see the last one.

Ritchie Heritage Reserve,
Ritchie Ridge Winery.

Congratulations.

Congrats.

You too.

Congratulations.

Merci.

Please contact us
when you're in Germany.

Yes, yes, please.

Thank you so much.

I'll be in touch.

Miss Ritchie.

Hi, I'm Jane Townsend, and I
blog about West Coast wines.

I'm wondering if I could possibly
schedule an interview with you.

Oh, yes, I would
love that, Jane.

Great.

I'll give you a call.

Hello.

Hi.

Jacques Fournier.

It's an honor to meet you.

Pleasure is all mine.

I see you've
already met Isabella?

Yes, just now.

Have you tried
the Ritchie Pinot?

Ah, yes, I have.

And can I quote you?

Of course.

The Ritchie Heritage Reserve
Pinot is rich, smooth, and unexpected.

It's the wine to beat this year.

Thank you.

I am going to
post that right now.

Thanks.

Wow, that was a really,
really nice thing for you to say.

I was just telling the truth.

Well, I appreciate it.

Jacques.

Ah, Christina.

Hello.

You remember Isabella?

Of course.

Hi.

So, I think I made a mistake giving
Jacques's wine to my chef instead of yours.

What?

I am offended at this.

You'll survive.

Well, you know, we
both made it as finalists.

I'm going to give your
wine to my chef, tonight.

I promise.

Oh, thank you.

It's very nice.

Excuse me.

I see someone I must speak with.

Have a good time.

I am so glad you are
spending time with Jacques.

It's nice to see
him smile again.

So, you two aren't dating?

No.

We are old friends.

He's like a brother to me.

Oh.

Okay.

Good luck.

Thank you.

Mademoiselle Ritchie.

There's a reception
later for the finalists.

Can you join us?

Yes, I would love to.

Everyone is looking
forward to trying your wine.

Oh, great.

I'll see you.

Okay.

Ah, Mademoiselle Ritchie.

So, have you found
a distributor yet?

Well, I have a few people
who are interested, but no

one will come in until after
the awards are given out.

Ah, so this means
you have some time.

Time for what?

To visit a boutique perfumery.

You know, I don't think
that's on the tourist trail.

No, no, no.

Chambleu is a very
special perfumery.

It's owned by an old
friend of the family.

My mother's been
going there for years.

You know, I was actually hoping
to go to a panel on label design.

Why?

No, your label for Ritchie Heritage
Reserve is beautiful already.

It's classy, elegant.

They're not going to teach you
anything that you don't already know.

Yeah, what am I going
to learn at a perfumery?

Well, you see, making
perfume is not an exact science.

It's half chemistry, half art.

Like, line making.

Exactly.

So, we go?

Por cuapa.

Ah, very good!

Did I say that right?

You did, exactly.

Por cuapa.

It's not so Spanish as this.

Perfumers are alchemists
meet artists, meet chemists.

They use all of their knowledge and
talents to compose their masterpieces.

Masterpieces?

You will see.

Et voila.

The perfumes of Chambleu
are available only in Paris,

but they are sought after
by royalty all over the world.

Jacques!

Ah, Claude.

So good to see you.

And you.

How is your wonderful mother?

This is my friend from
America, Isabella Ricci.

Enchanté, mademoiselle.

So nice to meet you.

Your shop is beautiful.

Merci.

And your timing is impeccable.

I've just finished my
latest eau de cologne.

Oh, what's it called?

You know, I haven't decided yet.

Here, try it.

Hmm, let's see.

I detect vanilla, jasmine,
and a hint of patchouli?

Bravo!

Perfect, yes.

It's bright and floral, but with
an earthy finish, n'est-ce pas?

Mais...

It's beautiful.

You know, perhaps you'd
like to help me name it?

Sure.

How about...

Summer Wind?

I know.

Femme inoubliable.

Ah, I love it, I love it!

Femme inoubliable.

Voilà.

For you, mademoiselle.

Oh, merci.

Okay, so I know the word
femme means woman.

Inoubliable...

What does this word mean?

Unforgettable.

This is really wonderful.

Thank you for taking me.

It was my pleasure.

So, do you think you will go right
back to Oregon after the competition?

Unfortunately, yes.

You know how it
is running a winery.

There's always so
many things to do.

I'm kind of excited,
though, because I have all

these ideas I want to
try out for new wines.

You know, I'm kind
of jealous of you.

Of me?

Yes.

You get to modernize and innovate
and experiment with your winery.

But me?

My family doesn't want
to change anything.

Okay, come on.

Your winery is a classic.

It's amazing.

I mean, you've won gold
medal five years in a row.

I suppose.

Trust me, it's not always easy being
the winery nobody's ever heard of.

Well, you won't be for long.

Hey, my best friend's boyfriend is opening
his new restaurant tonight, Cherubul.

I was wondering if maybe
you wanted to join me?

Cherubul?

It's famous already.

I would love to.

Great.

I think they want
us there at like eight.

Perfect.

Perfect.

I don't see what the problem is.

He's sweet and
charming and gorgeous.

Yeah, but we're so different.

You and I are
completely different.

It just makes things
more interesting.

We also live 8,000 miles apart.

No, definitely not.

You gotta look your
best for Jacques.

What's wrong?

I don't know, Lacey.

It's just...

You know, when Stuart
broke up with me, it took every

piece of my strength to
pull myself together and...

Now you're afraid of
getting involved again?

Yeah.

Yeah, I guess I am.

Okay, I get it.

This thing with Jacques is
not practical and it doesn't

make sense, but you have
just met an amazing guy in Paris.

The most romantic
city in the world.

That's just proof that
anything is possible in Paris.

Okay, that's beautiful, but you couldn't
just... You can't keep giving me stuff.

Yes, I can.

Otherwise, what is the point
of me being a fashion designer?

And...

It's a pair.

Oh, those are stunning.

You know, you're like a
real-life French fairy godmother.

Except I'm American.

And definitely not old
enough to be your godmother.

Yeah, definitely not.

Oh, thank you so much, Lacey.

Yeah, of course.

What are friends for?

You know, as...

As long as you're being
so generous, you don't

happen to have a clutch
that might go with this.

Follow me.

Hi.

Wow.

You look...

fantastic.

Oh, thank you.

Listen, Isabella, I...

I'm sorry, but my mother's just
announced that she's retiring.

And the marketing team wants
to do a whole campaign about this.

That sounds important.

They want to have a big
meeting tonight, though.

Which means I won't be able
to make it until the front opening.

I'm so sorry.

No, it's... I get it.

You know, you're here to work,
and I'm here to work, so it's... It's fine.

Well, I really am disappointed.

No, it's... It's okay.

I'll see you tomorrow.

Okay.

I wish you a good evening.

Yeah, you too.

Bonsoir.

Merci.

You look amazing.

Thank you so much.

It's because of you.

Where's Jacques?

Oh, he had a work meeting,
so he sends his regrets.

Oh, are you okay?

Yeah, it's not like
we're dating or anything.

Oh, well, Luc will be even
more disappointed than you are.

It's probably better
this way, you know?

Keep things professional
between me and Jacques.

If you say so, but
I don't think there's

anything wrong with
dating a cute guy in Paris.

It's like the Gougere.

No guilt.

Gougere?

What is that?

French for gooey cheese puff.

Calories outside the U.S.

don't count.

Wow, this is incredible.

Let's go to our table.

And this is my very
own personal chef.

Luc.

Welcome.

Isabella.

Enchanté.

I have heard so much
about you, Isabella.

It feels like I
already know you.

Yeah, I feel the same exact way.

It's amazing.

I can't wait to try it.

Oh, wow.

Look who blew off his
meeting to spend time with you.

Merci.

Bonsoir.

Bonsoir.

You look beautiful.

Thank you.

Jacques, this is my
best friend, Lacey.

Great to meet you, Jacques.

Yes, you as well.

Oh, this is Luc Raboul.

Enchanté.

The restaurant looks wonderful.

Ah, merci.

And I'm a huge fan of your wine.

Ah, well, cher Raboul
is the talk of Paris.

I hear you can get a
reservation for love or money.

Look, you always have a
table at my restaurant, okay?

Which is great, especially if I can
persuade Isabella to stay in Paris.

You're going to stay in Paris?

This is the first I'm
actually hearing about it,

but you can't listen to
anything that Lacey says.

Well, I like to put my
wishes out into the world.

That way I can manifest them.

Ah.

Does this work for you?

Sure.

That's how I met Luc, right?

OK.

I met you through my cousin.

OK.

Well, that's not the point.

The point is, wouldn't it be great
if Isabella were to stay in Paris?

I think this would be great.

Jacques, I have to tell you, I'm a
huge fan of your new Pinot Noir.

Ah, you've tried it?

Unfortunately, I only have two cases, but
they are safe for my favorite customers.

We have a couple of
crates left back at the winery.

Maybe tomorrow I
send them to you.

Really?

Ah, merci.

I appreciate that.

Excuse me.

I must go and entertain.

Bien sur.

It was great to
meet you, Jacques.

You too.

Have fun.

Thank you.

So, did your meeting end early?

Ah, well, when I suggested that we sell
our wine in supermarkets, Mama and Maurice

looked at me as if I had
burned the vineyard down.

Oh, sorry.

Ah, no, it's OK.

Ah, génial.

Merci beaucoup.

Merci.

What's wrong?

Oh, no.

Don't tell me that this, this bold American
woman is afraid to try a little escargot.

No, I'm not afraid.

I just, um... Oh, no?

Mm-hmm.

It's really quite delicious.

Go on.

I dare you.

Ah.

Ah.

Hello?

It tastes like garlic
and white wine.

Yeah, it's, it's
kind of delicious.

Um, you have a little
something at Mer?

It's my Uncle Travis.

I have to get this.

Of course.

OK.

I'll be right back.

All right.

Travis?

I hate to ruin your trip.

I'm sorry.

Why?

What's wrong?

The crusher to Stemmer's broke.

How bad is it?

It, it's gone.

And we're looking at thousands
of dollars for a new one.

What?

No.

Uncle Travis made me
that money for marketing.

Is there any way you
can get it repaired?

We're trying, but if we don't get it
working soon, we're gonna miss the harvest.

OK.

I'll, I'll figure something out.

Is everything all right?

My crusher to Stemmer died.

I actually, I have to
go find a replacement.

Oh, you are leaving.

I, I know you just
got here, Jacques.

I'm so sorry.

It's just I need to go and, and
make sure I can find new equipment.

Tonight?

It has to be.

You don't get a vacation
when you own a winery.

No, you don't.

I'm really sorry.

I completely understand.

Um, I'll walk you
back to the hotel.

Oh, no, please stay.

I don't want to ruin the party.

You know, I only came
here to be with you.

Let's go.

Hey.

Fancy meeting you here.

Well, I've learned your routine.

You have your Café American
every morning at exactly 9.30, no?

Mm, yes.

Did you find a new distemmer?

Yeah.

As a matter of fact, I did.

And I got a deal.

I took a little bit of work,
but I found a used one.

I'm having it shipped up
from Paso Robles next week.

That's so great.

Yeah.

I'm very impressed.

Impressed by what?

By you.

By the way you get things done.

So fierce, so determined,
like, like a little bulldog.

Oh, yeah.

You know, I know you think
that sounds like a compliment.

It is a compliment.

Comparing a woman to a
bulldog, it's not that flattering.

Well, I love dogs.

That still doesn't translate.

You're going to have
to trust me on this one.

Okay?

So, what's on the agenda today?

The agenda?

I thought you
didn't like agendas.

I don't.

I was just trying
to sound American.

Oh, yeah.

I'm going to pretend
like you didn't say that.

I actually signed up for the workshop,
the wine critique one with Julie Montard.

Oh, no.

You can't go to that.

Why?

I know Julie Montard.

I've heard her speak.

She's so negative.

Negative?

Yes.

She's sad, bitter, destructive.

She's too dangerous for a
fragile young winemaker like you.

Okay.

You know what?

I'm not that fragile, Jacques.

I can handle a little criticism.

She only likes French wine.

I could teach you everything
she knows in ten minutes.

Yeah, no, no.

I just can't skip the
workshop, Jacques.

You know, I came here to learn
how to take my winery to the next level.

No.

You came here to
win the competition.

Well, it's the same thing.

And the judges are
tasting the finalists today.

There's nothing you can do to
change what's going to happen.

Okay.

So, what are you saying?

Well, you already
found the distemmer.

Huh?

You saved the day.

You are the hero.

Hero?

Really?

Mm-hmm.

And I think the hero should take
the day off and go out with me.

All right.

Okay.

You know what?

I haven't even had my coffee,
so what's on your agenda?

I was thinking about
going to get a croissant.

A croissant?

Jacques, they have
breakfast at the hotel.

We could just have one here.

Not like these croissants.

Come on.

Some fresh air
will be good for you.

Huh?

Okay.

This is the Pont Alexandre III.

The Alexander III Bridge.

It's named for... Alexander III?

Yes.

This has to be the best
croissant I've ever had.

I hope so.

It's the best in all of Paris.

Oh.

It's so so beautiful here.

Paris is the city
of eternal love.

What?

Paris is the city
of eternal love?

Mm-hmm.

Oh, come on.

Who says stuff like that?

I'm not making it up, you know.

This is a fact.

Hmm.

So what?

You don't believe
in this kind of love?

Sure, I guess.

For some people.

My parents had
that kind of love.

But not you?

I'm not so lucky.

Never?

Fine, okay.

When I worked down
in California, there was

a guy, Stuart, and he
was a winemaker too.

And we got really serious.

We even talked
about getting married.

And then when my mom got sick, I
went up to Oregon to help my dad with

the winery, and we
just kind of drifted apart.

Love is like a vine.

If you don't tend to it,
it will wither up and die.

What?

There you go again.

But you're right.

Because after a few months, he
called me, and he broke up with me.

And now?

Have you given up on love?

Well, it's just, you know,
things are really hectic at

the winery, and, you know,
my life's really complicated.

You know life is
always complicated.

Yeah.

It's beautiful, and it's ugly, and it's
messy all at the same time, but love.

that's what makes
life worth living.

You really believe
that, don't you?

It's my mother.

Excuse me.

It's fine.

Hello, Mama.

Jacques, one of the volunteers
dropped the last case of your pinot.

It's all gone.

You mean there's nothing
left for the judges to taste?

No.

And the judges need
it within the hour.

I'm so sorry.

I don't know what to do.

No, it's okay.

I will figure something out.

What's going on?

One of the volunteers at the
competition dropped my case of wine.

All the bottles smashed,
and now I'm disqualified.

Okay, so just go back to your
winery and get another case.

No, Burgundy is three
hours' drive from here.

They need it in one hour.

Uh, don't worry.

We'll think of something.

Not this time,
my little bulldog.

I thought I told you that women
don't like being called that.

Yes, but when you are
determined, your face,

it scrunches up,
and it's very adorable.

Oh.

Well, this little
bulldog has an idea.

Come on.

Come on.

Where?

Okay.

Luc, merci.

Thank you for meeting us.

Salut.

What's the emergency?

We need all of your Chateau
Saint-Fenier pinot right away.

There are two cases, but I wanted
to keep them for my best customers.

Give me one case, and I'll have ten
more sent to you from the winery tomorrow.

Okay.

He'll be disqualified from the
competition if we don't get them.

S'il te plaît, Luc.

Okay.

You should probably text your
mom, tell her you're on the way.

Yes, good idea.

Um, my phone is... Uh,
could you... Oh, yeah, sure.

Sorry.

Philippe!

Philippe!

Jacques is on his
way with the wine.

He'll be here in 15 minutes.

That's too late.

I can take it back.

Oh, yeah.

It's okay.

Sorry.

Back in a minute.

Okay.

Oh!

Oh!

It's my mother.

She says, if I'm not back in
ten minutes, I will be disqualified.

What?

Oh, I don't know if
we're gonna make it.

Let's see.

Perdón.

If you can get us there in less than
ten minutes, I'll give you 50 euro.

Mm-hmm.

Thank you.

Please, move.

Please, please.

Thank you.

No, Philippe.

Excuse me.

You can't judge the competition
without my brother's wine.

Sorry, there's nothing I can do.

Perhaps we can delay the
final judging just a little bit.

Well, that's against the rules.

Well, then, take me out
of the competition, too.

Maurice!

Please, you cannot do that.

Will you leave me no choice?

We got it!

We got it!

Jacques, come with me, please.

Thank you.

Where did you find the wine?

Oh, uh, my friend Luke.

He has a new restaurant and he had
two cases in his cellar, so... We owe him.

Thank you, Isabella.

Sure, oh, gosh.

Please, you don't
have to thank me.

Anyone would have
done the same thing.

Well, I don't understand.

Jacques and I are
your main competitors.

If Jacques was disqualified, you have
a better chance of winning a medal.

Well, yeah, but I wouldn't want to win
unless I made the best pinot in the world,

and it wouldn't count if your
brother wasn't in the competition.

How admirable.

Thank you so much.

We won't forget this.

Can we take you to lunch?

I would love that, but
I actually have to get a

dress for the award gala
tonight, so... Of course.

We'll hold a place for you.

Perfect.

See you this evening.

Merci.

Vermont.

Oh.

Oh, Jacques.

So I understand your
mother's retiring, and so the

future of Chateau Sinfonier
hangs in the balance.

Well, that's one way to put it.

Now, your brother is doing
a lot of interviews, but I

think that you might have
the more interesting story.

Well, Jonathan, I think that
the most interesting story is...

The most interesting story here is not
going to be about Chateau Sinfonier.

Could you, uh, elab...

Elaborate.

I like Isabella.

But the competition ends tonight,
and she's going back tomorrow.

There are events like this all
over the world, even in Oregon.

But you said you
wanted to settle down.

How do you do that with a woman
you only see a few times a year?

Try this vintage 96.

Jean-Marc sent it over.

You look amazing.

Thanks.

You cannot survive yourself.

That dress is...
It's gorgeous, right?

I actually borrowed
it from Lacey.

I just figured.

Went in Rome.

But we're in Paris.

Yeah, no.

It's an expression.

It means, um...

It doesn't matter what it means.

Bonsoir, Isabella.

Bonsoir.

You are magnifique.

Oh, thank you.

Welcome to the final night of
the Grand Prix des Vins du Monde.

The judges have spoken,
and tough decisions were made.

The first category
is Pinot Noir.

Good luck to everyone.

Thank you.

We had some classic favorites
and some surprising newcomers.

And the bronze goes to...

Golden Sky, California, winemakers
Seth and Diana Wintworth.

Congratulations, guys.

There's only two medals left,
and only three of us at the table.

Who knows who's going to lose?

It's life.

And next, the silver medal.

And the silver medal goes to Richie Rich
Winery, Oregon, winemaker Isabelle Richie.

I'm so happy for you.

Congratulations.

Congratulations.

Congratulations,
Mademoiselle Richie.

And now to announce
the winner of the Pinot Noir

category, and this
was very difficult for us.

And the winner of
the gold medal is...

Chateau Saint Fournier Reserve
Winemaker, Jacques Fournier!

Chateau Saint Fournier Reserve
Winemaker, Jacques Fournier!

Go.

I

know we don't usually make
speeches, so please forgive me.

But I want to say this is for my
brother, Maurice, and my mother, Margot.

You push me, you push all
of us to be better winemakers.

So thank you and
I love you both.

You know, this wine
would not even be here

tonight if it was not
for Miss Isabella Ricci.

So, Isabella, merci beaucoup.

I want to share this
moment with you.

Wow.

It really is beautiful.

It's no wonder they call
Paris the City of Lights.

It's the City of
Light, actually, no S.

And it's not because of the buildings,
you know, it's because Paris was the

birthplace of the age
of... enlightenment.

So it's a city of inspiration.

Yeah.

You know, you really are
the best tour guide in Paris.

I wish I could be
more than that.

I wish you could, too.

Then stay.

Just another week.

We could explore Paris together.

We could visit the
wineries of the Loire Valley.

I can't.

I have to go back and
deal with my real life.

Your real life can
wait a few days, no?

Well, I can't.

Life is short, Isabella.

Sometimes it's hard,
but also it's beautiful.

And you and I...

How would we make
it work, Jacques?

We're half a world apart.

Always so practical.

We can make this work, Isabella.

I know it.

Tell me you're not going
to answer that right now.

It's my Uncle Travis.

Like, I'll just be a minute.

No, no.

I understand.

Congratulations.

Silver, first time out.

Huh?

Not too shabby.

Well, I wouldn't even
be in this competition

if it weren't for
you, Uncle Travis.

Oh, Isabella, I told you
you had something special.

Oh, Jacques won gold.

I wish he hadn't.

Not after he trash-talked
you in that interview.

What interview?

Well, I have it here.

It says, when asked
about what Funya thought

about the other
finalists, he laughed.

And said he wasn't worried
about some table wine.

I'm sure you'd be happy to have
some wine from Oregon taking the prize.

That doesn't sound like
something Jacques would say.

Well, I'm looking at his ID
badge right here on the photo.

It says Jacques Funye.

Wow.

Well, look, uh, I have
yours flight details

and I'll be there
tomorrow to pick you up.

OK?

OK.

Thanks.

Alors, I know of this
great after-hours jazz club.

You know what?

I have an early
flight I should turn in.

What?

But it's not even midnight.

I need to go.

Is everything OK?

Did something happen?

Congratulations, Isabella.

It depends on
beating my table wine.

What are you talking about?

Were you just pretending
to like my wine?

No, no, of course not.

I thought you were
different, Jacques.

I trusted you.

I don't understand
where this is coming from.

Isabella.

Goodbye, Jacques.

Jacques, we got a lot of wonderful press
in the wine trade from winning the gold.

But one of the reporters
mixed you up with Maurice.

Oh, really?

I sent you a link.

They should know you
and Maurice better than that.

Maurice!

Oui?

Why did you call Isabella's
Pinot a table wine in this interview?

I was just making a joke.

No, you don't understand.

She thinks that I said this.

This is why she's
not speaking with me.

That was before
we got to know her.

For heaven's sake.

Maurice, you're
wearing his ID badge.

That's why you
could never find it.

No, it's not.

I have to tell her.

Jacques, I am so sorry.

Hi, this is Isabella.

Please leave a message
and I'll get right back to you.

Our machine.

So I need all the Merlot's
inventory by this Friday, okay?

Okay.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Hey, Belle.

Hey.

Hi.

Hi.

You okay?

Yeah, I'm fine.

What's up?

You left your
phone in the office.

Oh.

You seem to go anywhere
without your phone.

Like, anywhere.

Yeah, well, I just need to take
a break a little bit, you know?

And get out some things.

It's been ringing off the hook.

Well, then I'm glad I left it.

Weren't you supposed to be
lining up meetings with U.S.

distributors?

Eh, I don't want to seem
desperate, you know?

So I decided that I would just wait for a
week, see what kind of offers come in.

You know, call them back.

Thing hard to get.

I like it.

Maybe you shouldn't enter wine
competitions more often, right?

Yeah, maybe I will.

Your friend Jacques called
a bunch of times, actually.

Maybe you should call him back.

Yeah.

Give him a chance to explain.

It's just, it's too late.

Are you sure about that, pal?

I mean, I know it ended
badly, but from what you said,

it sounds like you and Jacques
were really good together.

We were.

There's someone here to see you.

Isabella, hi.

Anton, hi.

What a nice surprise.

Please, have a seat.

I was visiting one of my other
clients nearby, and I thought I'd drop in.

Congratulations.

Silver medal.

Amazing.

Thank you.

It must have been
tough leaving Paris.

You have no idea.

I assume it must
have been productive.

Jonathan Ronan gave you quite a
nice write-up on your heritage reserve.

Wait, what?

Jonathan Ronan
wrote about my wine?

He loved your wine.

And having Jacques Fournier say it was
the best pinot he's tasted in five years...

Well, I've had people calling
me all week asking how to get it.

Jacques Fournier said my pinot was
the best he'd had in over five years?

He was very generous.

Well, speaking of generous,
we've been talking with a few U.S.

decisions.

I'm sure you've met
a few distributors.

Yes, we have.

Who?

They can't poach you.

This is my territory.

No.

Well, I don't want to
name names, Anton.

And you were friends with Dad.

And you did give me the idea of
entering Le Grand Prix de Vindemande.

That's right.

Even though you said we
didn't have a chance of getting in.

Right.

Yes, I just didn't want you
to get your hopes too high.

Well, then, if you can match what the
other distributors are offering... Done.

And maybe increase it?

I'll beat any offer you
get by five percent.

Sounds good, right?

Hold on.

Just curious, Anton.

How much are you willing
to spend on advertising?

That's an excellent question.

I've got some great ideas on how
to market the Richie Rich brand.

How much?

I'll send over the
numbers in the morning.

Sounds good.

Thank you.

But you'll have to tell me how you
landed that Jonathan Ronan article.

He only talks to
the major players.

Well, we are major
players, Anton.

That's right.

Major players.

I'm starting to realize that.

Jacques?

Oh, there you are.

Are you ready for
Mama's retirement party?

Yes.

I'm not really in a festive
mood, but of course.

You miss her.

Yes.

I haven't spoken to
Isabella since she left Paris.

She won't return my calls.

I've stopped trying.

You know I've always
said not to get involved

with someone who lives
halfway across the world.

But sometimes when you
meet someone as special as

Isabella, you can't let
anything stand in your way.

She's right.

I won this at a charity auction.

And I think you should try it.

I know this wine.

Why do you think
I should try it?

Because they took a risk.

Some people are meant
to carry on tradition.

And some people are
meant to take a new path.

Oui.

See you.

Isabella!

Hey.

I just got the
paperwork in from Anton.

You ready to sign?

Oh, definitely.

But could you help me for a
second in the Bauer room?

One of the humidity
controllers is broken.

Uh, sure.

Thanks.

You know, ever since I
won the wine competition,

it's like you think
I can do anything.

And I have no idea how
you expect me to help.

I'm not a mechanic.

Come on.

It'll take a second.

I promise.

I mean, I'll do what I
can, but it's... I'm not sure.

Jacques.

You haven't returned
my calls in years.

In weeks.

So you just flew halfway
around the world?

The magazine mixed
up me and Maurice.

You know I would never
say anything like that.

I know.

I actually ended up reading
an article where you said

my Pinot Noir was the best
you'd had in over five years.

But still, you
didn't call me back.

Because you live in France.

And I live here in Oregon, and I have no
idea how we could possibly make this work.

I came here to give you a gift.

I know this wine.

This wine is all
about taking risks.

You see, decades ago, no one
took California wines seriously.

But then Baron Philippe de Rothschild
collaborated with a new California

winemaker, and together,
they created a masterpiece.

It ended up being one of the most
successful wineries in the whole world.

Because it's the
best of both worlds.

The old and the new.

So, what are you saying?

That you think we should
make a new wine, you and me?

That's exactly what I'm saying.

Jacques, how can you leave
your winery for that long?

Well, I can be away
as long as I like.

I gave control to Maurice
of Château St. Fournier.

You just gave it away?

Well, sold it.

He bought my share.

So, just to clarify, why would
you sell your half of the winery?

Think about what we
could do together, Isabella.

A new partnership.

Burgundy and Oregon
working together.

To create a new Pinot?

Create a new life together.

What do you think?

I think your brother better watch out,
because we're going to win gold next year.

Maybe we should toast
to this new partnership.

I have a better idea.
