All language subtitles for Christmas.on_.the_.Vine_.2020.720p.WEB_.h264-BAE

I'm very impressed, Brooke.

This is quite the holiday treat.

I just wanted to take my boss
and my friend to dinner

to say thank you
for this past year.

Yes, that's the one.

I should be taking you.

Oh, I'm sure it's fine.

You've created some
very successful campaigns

for our company this season
without a break.

At least allow me to make
the toast.

Thank you.

Here's to your first 12 months
and the next

with our little
marketing operation.

Cheers.

Like Christmas in a glass.

Such a special time of year,
isn't it?

Oh, I love Christmas.

All the small town traditions.

I always thought of you
as more of a big city type.

Where I grew up you cut down
your own tree

and all the kids gather around

the window displays
on main street

and the whole town turns out

for a Christmas tree
lighting ceremony

to kick off the season.

You make it sound idyllic.

It is.

Hot chocolate, snow angels,
a huge Christmas fair.

Sarah, I could really use
that right now.

I wanna get back.

I want an old-fashioned
Christmas

like the kind my sister and I
shared as kids.

I hear you just signed
a new client.

A winery in eastern Washington?

Lockwood crest family vineyards,
yes.

They're in serious trouble.

Absolutely desperate for
a new marketing campaign
by Christmas.

Well, that's where
I was raised.

Columbia river valley.

I know it well.

I know the people.

I can help them and re-live
the Christmas from my childhood.

I've seen their sales figures.

This won't be easy.

Sarah, I can do it.

Please?

I really need this.

Well then... It's yours.

Really?

Merry Christmas, Brooke.

Merry Christmas.

Thank you.

Kelly, hi, it's your sister.

Surprise!

I'm coming home for the holidays
and I cannot wait to see you

and your beautiful family.

I know it's last minute,
I- I just found out myself.

But call me, ok?

my car is over here.

You know, it's for a holiday
party at my bridge club.

Why they put me in charge,
I'll never know.

I don't even drink.

Well, you've made a fine choice,
it's one of our best wines.

Well now, we can put that
in the back seat.

Excuse me.

Welcome to Lockwood
family crest.

Hi.

I have a meeting
with Evelyn Lockwood.

That'd be my mom.
My name's Tyler.

Brooke Sherman.

You still work here?

Still? Uh...

You don't remember me.

There's no reason you should,

I was two years behind you
in school.

Oh, yeah, no,
I remember-

no, you don't.

No, I don't.

Um, Brooke you said?

Mr. Lockwood?

My wine?

You have a customer.

I'll be right with you, ma'am.

She's down in the chapel
tasting room.

It's by the vineyards
along the path.

Oh, great. Thank you.

I'll find it.

Ok.

Bye.

I have a few questions.

I mean, people will want
to know about this.

So, oh yes, number one.

I see a lot of people on TV
sniffing corks.

This was a chapel
my father-in-law built

with his own hands
for his wedding day.

We converted it to a tasting
room when we renovated

a while back.

We spent so much money.

The house, the production rooms,
everything.

Well, it really looks beautiful,
Mrs. Lockwood.

Evelyn, please.

I had hoped that the investment
would help business

but it didn't.

In point of fact it got worse.

People just aren't buying our
wines the way they used to

and if we can't fix things
soon, well...

What does your distributor say?

We used to be with one of
the big ones

but we lost him
to kilgore wines.

They're taking over
the whole valley.

We are waiting to hear back
from multiple distributors,

we have high hopes.

We need to rebrand you
as a destination winery.

It's not only about the wine
but the whole experience.

Create a little buzz.

You are a family
friendly business.

I do like the way that sounds.

Whatever we do it has to be
by Christmas.

Any reason for that deadline?

We just need to see some
real progress, and soon.

Some light at the end
of the tunnel.

Did I hear you're from the area?

Yeah, I grew up here.

My parents moved to Arizona but
my sister still lives in town.

Kelly Sherman?

Kelly baker now?

She teaches music at
the elementary school.

It's a small town but
not that small, I guess.

Evelyn, have you ever
thought about

sprucing up for the holidays?

Me, or the room?

ok, well of course we need
to focus on more the decor,

but it's a place to start.

If we bring some real Christmas
to the winery,

customers are sure to follow.

Yes.

Oh, I am feeling very good
about hiring your firm.

Won't Tyler be surprised.

He doesn't know?

I just wanted to be sure first.

Still, I know my son.

He'll be fine with it.

So I assume you'll be staying
with your sister?

No, I wanted to be close to work

so I checked into the bed and
breakfast on my way into town.

With all the space we have here?

Nonsense.

You drive back over there
right this minute,

get your things,
we'll settle you in.

That is such a nice offer, but-

no argument.

We're family here
at family crest.

It says so right in the name.

Well, ok.

Thank you.

That didn't take long.

Is everything alright?

Absolutely.

Evelyn will fill you in.

What's the big mystery?

I have to get back to town

but looks like we're going to be
working together.

What?

We're gonna... What?

Talk to your mom.

Nice to see you again,
Tyler.

Yeah, you too.

A whole new marketing plan?

Mom, can we really afford
that right now?

We can't afford not to.

Well, I know that, but...

We're running out of options,
ty.

Yeah.

Brooke? It's Lila Garrett.

Lila, it's so good
to see you.

Do you work at
the gallery still?

Better, I own it now.

Come on, mommy!

Grace, wait for mommy!

If you're here for a while
drop in for a visit.

I'd love to catch up.

That sounds great.

Mommy!

Sorry, gotta run.

No, I get it.
So cute.

Hi.

Jack Matheson, right?

Yes, uh, how can I help you?

I checked into your dad's bed
and breakfast this morning

but my plans have changed.

I just picked up my bags
but he wasn't there

and I was hoping I could leave
these with you.

Yeah, sure.

Thank you.

Oh, the Christmas fair.

That was one of my favourite
traditions as a kid.

Every Christmas eve.

Is that why you're in town?

One of the reasons.

I mean, I wouldn't miss it.

The fair and old friends.

Can I offer you something?

I've got hot apple
cider brewing.

It's perfect for a cold day
like this.

I'd love some.

It's coming right up.

It's like I never left.

Merry Christmas.

If you're interested in wine
I can recommend this.

I had some errands in town
and I saw you duck in here.

"wine" by Tyler Lockwood.

Clever title.

Well, I think it paints
a pretty accurate picture.

So you're an author.

One book.

I hear Hemingway started
with one book.

Could be a rumor though,
don't quote me on that.

That's probably it for me,
one and done.

I did not see this on display
at the winery.

It kind of feels like bragging.

You wrote it to sell it, right?

And if it highlights
your business...

You guys do need me.

Your mom didn't tell you, huh?

No.

No. She does this sort of thing
all the time.

Last spring, for example,

I came home only to find that we
were now raising pygmy goats.

Which lasted all of a week.

Uh, not that I'm comparing
you to goats, of course.

Thanks for clarifying.

Seriously.

We're counting on you
to help us out,

or at least to point us
in the right direction.

With a product like yours
that won't be a problem.

Cider's up.

Oh.

I'll take this, too.

It comes highly recommended.

Please, my treat.

Compliments of the author.

You will not get rich
like that.

Wasn't on my bucket list,
anyway.

Mmm.

This cider is amazing.

So do you have some time?

Maybe we can grab a bite.

You know, if we're gonna be
working together

it might be nice to get
to know each other.

Sure.

The diner is good.

Great burgers.

Works for me.

Diner?

Already on my Christmas list.

It used to be my old spot.

Well hey, in a town this size
it's everybody's old spot.

True.

Thanks, jack.

Merry Christmas.

I forgot how big
these things are.

And so messy.

Wow.

It's a nice change from seafood,
I imagine.

That's mostly what you eat
on the coast, right?

Oh yeah, practically every meal.

It's the city ordinates.

How is life in Seattle?

Good.

It's exactly what I was
looking for

when I left town
after high school.

Big city, big life,
big career.

I just thought it would be
more somehow.

More what, exactly?

More satisfying?

I don't know.

I'm still figuring it out.

I'm still trying to decide
what I wanna do when I grow up.

Have you been with the company
for very long?

It will be a year
this Christmas.

I just came off this huge
marketing campaign

for a footwear company,
had a Cinderella theme.

If the shoe fits.

Very nice. It's cute.

It was.

It was great.

We had all these models
dressed as princesses

at all the outlet stores

trying on heels and flats
and flip-flops.

Obvious, but social media
went wild for it.

I bet.

It got people talking.

So tell me about you.

There's not a lot to tell.

You know, I'm still here

and carrying on the Lockwood
family tradition.

And now that's in jeopardy.

I'm so sorry.

Thanks.

There's just too
much competition

with a bigger company
that keeps buying up

all the smaller wineries.

Kilgore wines.

Your mom told me.

And you guys are one
of the last hold-outs.

Good for you.

Here's the deal.

You teach me about wine and I
will teach you how to market it.

Together I have no doubt
we can turn this around.

I don't know what it is but
when you say it, I believe you.

Have you always been this sure
of yourself?

Only when I know I'm right.

Here you go.

-Thank you.
-Thank you.

You're welcome.

Oh, please.

No, I got it.

It's a business expense.

Are you sure?

I'm sure.

See?

We're a great team already.

So how does it feel being back?

You can't imagine.

I had a really wild year.

What I needed more than anything
was a hometown Christmas.

The kind of holiday
I had as a kid.

Right. Some comfort food
for the soul.

Yes.

Oh, like the tree.

Ah, I guess I missed the
lighting ceremony, huh?

My family and I used to make

a whole evening out of it
every year.

Yeah, well they haven't done
that for a few years now.

So many of the boutique wineries
were bought out

that a ton of people left

and I guess the new businesses
don't care as much.

Oh, no, no.

Don't tell me that.

No band?

No children's choir?

They flip a switch and call it
Christmas now.

Brooke.

Kelly!

Why didn't you call me back?

I've been so busy
with the school play

and I had to run
these errands.

Tyler Lockwood,
my sister, Kelly.

The music teacher.

hi.

Hi.

Uh, brooke's working with us
over at the winery.

Lockwood crest?

Oh yeah, sure.

That's... That's still open?

And going strong.

Spread the word.

We are launching an exciting
new marketing campaign.

Well, hooray for you
being home.

It's been way too long.

I know, entirely my fault.

I... I got really caught up
in work this year.

I know, it's not an excuse.

I'm determined to fix it
this visit.

How's my nephew?

How's Michael?

He's great.

He's getting taller every day.

He's at home with Scott,
his dad,

so I can do some
Christmas shopping.

I can't wait to see him.

Just give me a few days
to get settled.

Well, ok.

I still have to get to some
stores before they close.

It was lovely to meet you,
Tyler.

You too.

Merry Christmas, sis.

Ok.

-Love you.
-Love you.

Bye.

See? That's what I've
been missing.

I bet it feels like
Christmas now.

It really does.

It also feels like
a very long day.

Yeah.

So where are you staying?

I can walk you back
if you like.

That would be quite a walk.

I'm actually parked up the
street so I'll drive myself.

Sure.

I'll see you in the morning.

What's all this?

Another meeting?

No, not a meeting.

I'm... I'm checking in.

What-

Evelyn insisted I stay here.

Here, here?

At the house?

Your mom doesn't really
take no for an answer.

Have you ever noticed that?

Yeah, every single day
of my life.

let me help you with those.

Oh, I got it.

Please. I insist.

No. Really, it's ok.
Thank you.

Hi.

Hi, Evelyn.

Welcome back.

Your home is beautiful.

Look who I ran into in town.

Hi mom.

The guest rooms are
on the second floor,

last door on your right.

Show her, Tyler.

And help the girl
with her luggage.

Is that how I raised you?

See? Now you got me in trouble.

Ok, I'll allow it.

You make yourself at home.

Thank you so much.

Any other surprises
I should know about?

Nothing you should know about.

I can take it from here.

Thanks.

So what's the plan?

Up and at 'em bright and early
form now 'til Christmas.

That sounds like quite
the holiday.

It will be.

Just you wait.

wow.

Is this what a marketing
exec does?

This is just window dressing.

The real work began
last night.

Researching your competition,
updating your website.

Which reminds me, we've got to
talk about your social media.

What social media?

Exactly.

Hey, I need to grab another tree
for that corner.

You wanna run out
to mr. Buckles' farm?

We can chop it down ourselves,

we used to do it every year
when I was a kid.

It's really fun.

Well, that would be a great idea
if it were still there.

Kilgore wineries bought it.

It's levelled to make room
for more vineyards.

big business strikes again.

Yeah.

It's such a shame.

I'll figure something out.

In the meantime, I reached out
to all the gourmet magazines,

the food and wine critics.

It's all about name recognition,
you know,

what sets the lockwood
label apart.

Well, as long as we don't lose
what got us this far, right?

We have a lot of memories
wrapped up in these vineyards.

You should check out
upstairs sometime.

That's where mom keeps the
entire lockwood family history.

See? That's what we're selling.

The feeling of family.

Your family.

I have a lot of memories
in this valley, too.

Local vineyards in the summer.

I even had a job one year
stomping their grapes.

Hey, we all used to do that.

That is, before the machines
took over.

My feet were purple for weeks.

They called me "grape ape"
in the locker room.

see, I was smarter.

I never took my socks off.

That's nice.

So how much do you know
about wine?

Let's pretend I know nothing.

'cause you don't.

Show me all the stuff
about wine.

Ok.

Let us start with a tasting
then, shall we?

Now, that I know quite
a lot about.

-We'll see.
-Great.

Oh, can I look at the label?
I just want to see the vintage.

Sure. Why?

I just want to make sure you
didn't crush these grapes

with your feet.

we're good.

So proper.

Always.

There's no other way to-
woah, woah not- not so fast.

There's an entire art to this.

Oh.

So first, down low by the stem,
we start by looking.

So we raise our glasses
up to the light

and we check the clarity.

Next, flat on the table,
a good swirl.

And you're gonna look at the
patterns on the side of the-

maybe try to keep it
in the glass.

Oh, like that's never happened
to you.

Never.

Ok, now what?

We sniff.

Sniff?

Just a couple short ones.

It tickles my nose a little.

Well, it should.

See, the finer wines satisfy
all the senses,

not just taste.

Now, if you'd like,
go ahead and sip.

But do not swallow.

I don't swallow?

Mmm-mmm.

You're going to swish
and spit.

spit it out?

Yeah.

After you swish.

It aerates the wine.

Uh, hits all the taste buds.

The flavours bloom though,
right?

Actually, yeah.

Wow, that's kind of amazing.

Now what?

I say we drink.

Don't have to ask me twice.

So, aside from saving
our humble winery,

what's on your agenda
this christmas?

Well, I had a whole list
of things I wanted to do

when I was home but
so much has changed.

The tree farm, the lighting
ceremony downtown.

Has anyone moved
any mountains yet?

Why do you ask?

My parents got kelly and me
sleds for christmas one year.

We came out here every weekend
until spring thaw.

That's quite a workout.

It didn't used to be.

-It must be these inner tubes.
-Yeah.

Either that or the mountain's
gotten steeper

since high school.

I remember you on the football
team back then.

Everybody thought you might
go pro.

I had some chances.

Some athletic scholarships
if I wanted them.

But that was never gonna happen.

Why not?

We've had the vineyard
for over 50 years.

I learned the trade
and the business

directly from my father
and my grandfather.

Now it's my turn.

Ah.

I'm sure that's what they
expected but what did you want?

The same thing.
Lockwood family crest.

-Never a doubt.
-Nope.

It must be comforting to know
exactly what you want from life.

Don't you?

Not yet.

I'll figure it out.

For now, the mountain
is waiting.

Hey!

Where are you going?

If I knew we were racing I
would have stretched first!

alright, we're gonna get serious
about this.

Oh, here are our official
santa hats.

Ok.

No, no, no. It's not my rule,
it's in the christmas handbook.

Article two, section seven.

Yeah, no.

Uh, you're setting yourself up
for a big fine

if they catch you.

Well, I, hey-
what are you-

woo!

♪ slipping and sliding
on a frozen pond ♪

last one to the bottom
is a summer snowman!

Woo!

♪ christmas with the one ♪

♪ christmas with
the one that I love ♪

ok, let's go again.

Are you kidding?

Come on.

When am I gonna get
this chance again?

You know, you're very pushy.

Yeah.

It's one of my better qualities.

Help me up.

Alright, let's go.

Ok, race you to the top!

You gotta be kidding me!

Come on!

So what now?

Back to work.

You don't pay me to slide
down mountains.

You know what would look
really beautiful?

White christmas lights
all throughout the vineyard,

just a whole hillside of them.

It's pretty perfect in its
natural splendour, isn't it?

Sure, but I think it would just
really brighten everything up.

It would get people out here.

Hi.

I was in the neighbourhood
and I thought I'd stop in

and see if you'd given
any thought to my offer.

Brooke sherman,
this is carla kilgore.

She and her company own most of
the valley these days.

Ok, so you're the one.

Oh, you've been talking
about me, tyler?

Should I be flattered?

The mom and pop places
are struggling.

I'm trying to help.

So eliminating the competition
is a sort of charity work?

Lockwood family crest
is a family business.

We're still not gonna sell.

The choice is yours.

I've just seen the numbers
and they don't lie.

So the offer's on the table
'til midnight christmas eve.

It's here before you know it.

I'll see you next week.

At the fair committee.

Merry christmas.

Merry christmas.

So that's the christmas
deadline.

Would you guys ever
consider selling?

Never.

We lockwoods never give up.

I like your attitude.

We'll make sure it doesn't
come to that.

What I think I hear you saying
is that you're uh...

Maybe um, ready for a fight?

-Yeah, I mean-
-yeah?

We always come up with something
but this year I'm at a loss.

Yeah.

And people have come
to expect something

that says merry christmas now
when they visit.

Well, I think that this is great
and we can build on it.

Rather than waiting for them
to come to you,

why don't we try going
to them?

Do you have anywhere
we can spread out,

roll our sleeves up?

It's hard to believe
this is a work space.

Chandeliers?

Yeah, they were a gift
from dad to mom years ago.

Christmas.

I love that.

There's so much
family history here,

I mean everywhere you look.

You seem awfully appreciative
of family history.

It's kind of everything,
isn't it?

Even these wreathes.

My sister and I used to make
them together every year.

We'd use evergreen clippings
and berries.

Discount store decorations.

Whatever we had on hand.

On that note, what do you think
of this?

It's not bad.

A little more holly
and maybe tuck in

an ornament right in there.

How many of these are we
making, again?

Enough to fill your truck bed.

And on each one of them
we're going to put one of these.

Merry christmas

Brooke sherman?

Well, there's a face

You must know tyler lockwood.

We've done a lot of business
in our day.

Merry christmas, ty.

Merry christmas.

A hometown holiday, is it?

A working holiday.

I'm just here for a few weeks
helping out

lockwood family crest.

We're spreading cheer.

I see that.

Hey, maybe you could put one up
at the nursery.

You always do such elaborate
christmas displays.

You didn't hear?

I sold the place last summer.

Carla kilgore's company.

I'm sorry to hear that.

I was looking forward
to coming out.

There's no regrets.

They paid well.

And it gives me extra time
to spend with my grandkids.

What'd you do with all those
christmas decorations?

They're in storage.

I didn't have the heart
to sell them,

but now there's no place
to show them off.

Maybe there is.

What's the point of being

if you can't call in
a few favours?

Oh, let me take that for you.

Oh, thanks.

Wow.

What a display.

Smile.

I'm bringing the whole
family out tomorrow

to snap next year's
christmas card.

I'm glad you like it.

No wine today?

One more.

Your mom says that you're
sold out of that merlot I like,

the 2017.

I might still have a case
or two set aside.

You find it, you put
my name on it.

You got it.

Hey, brooke!

Do you mind helping me look
for some wine in the aging room?

Sure.

Definitely christmas card
worthy.

Thank you.

Gosh, it's a shame this space
doesn't get more use.

Yeah?

What would you do with it?

Dinners, dances,
wedding receptions for sure.

Yeah well, we are a winery.

That should be enough.

Oh.

Did you find it?

Yeah.

This'll make hank's holiday.

What are those?

The bottles?

Just empties waiting to be
sanitized and recycled.

Come on.

Oh, you bet. We're all about
christmas here at family crest

try the merlot.

Wine tree. Who knew?

I'm telling you, christmas
really brings out the elf in me.

Yeah, you really love this
season, don't you?

Yeah, I really do.

Don't you?

Well, I could take it
or leave it.

It's more of a kid thing,
right?

There's not an age limit
on christmas.

You must have some
good memories.

I do.

I mean, my dad used to love it.

My granddad, too.

Remember the year
they both dressed up

as santa to surprise you?

Wound up surprising each other.

Yeah.

Wait, two santas?

Yeah.

How'd you explain that one?

I was told that santa
was twins and so,

for several years after that,
I put out two plates of cookies

and wrote two letters
to the north pole.

That is really cute.

Ok, ready?

What do you think?

Brooke, it's perfect.

It's christmas, it's
the winery... I don't...

Hey, lovebirds!

How about a smile?

Sure.

This one's going on instagram.

Hashtag "adorable".

Oh, tag the winery.

Yes, please.

Oh, glad you made it.

Sorry we're late.

I hope you guys don't mind.

I brought brooke sherman along.

Everybody, brooke.

Hi, hi everybody.

Brooke, everybody.

Of course I remember
some of you.

Hi lila.

Since the christmas fair
is for such a good cause...

We just voted to donate
the profits

to the river valley
arts program this year.

Oh, what a great organization.

And since my company
is hosting

I am picking up all
related expenses.

Quite a generous gift, carla.

Well, I'm happy to do my
fair share for the community.

Miss sherman?

I just wanna say I think
it's so great

that the proceeds are going back
into the community

and if anyone needs a volunteer,
I'm your girl.

That's so nice of you.

I don't wanna brag but I did win
the stuffed elf toss

two years in a row.

Eighth and ninth grade.

Do you guys remember
the hay ride?

The children's choir,
so cute.

And my grandmother's cookies?

This presentation is going
to be a little more

of a grown-up presentation,
you know?

Art seminars, wine tastings,
not so much the elf toss.

But it'll still be
a family event,

I mean, I can't imagine the
children attending a seminar.

Well, we're trying to bring
this fair

into the next century,
you know?

Cultivate a more
sophisticated image.

And you're all good
with that?

Carla's winery,
carla's rules.

Ok. Let me tell
you what's going to be
on the catering menu.

I mean, what's she thinking?

Where's the fun?

Where's the magic?

Well, it's not at carla
kilgore's place this year,

that's for sure.

Well, that's not fair.

It's a board meeting.

Yeah.

What if we bring the old
christmas magic here

to lockwood crest?

Just another step on the way
to making lockwood

the destination winery
we talked about.

The expanded website,
social media accounts,

mentions in online magazines.

It's all working.

There's no way a distributor
won't come on board.

Mmm.

Have you tried this?

The cookies and the wine?

The cookies are just
store bought,

they're nothing special.

But they don't have to be.

What about an evening of cookie
and wine pairing?

Would anyone actually
come to that?

Of course they would.

Especially with
the right cookies.

My grandmother's.

Those really say christmas
to me.

Do you have the recipes?

No, but I know where
to get them.

Ok.

Cheers.

oh!

Ok, so we need all of this done
by lunchtime

so I can get the kids
on the set to rehearse.

Ok.

Hey, michael, could you
hand me that big present?

-Ok mom.
-Thanks buddy.

Rick was gonna help us paint
the trees

but his wife needs him today.

It couldn't wait?

Well, I suppose he could
but she couldn't.

They're having a baby.

Oh. Oh!

Ok, thank you.

I'll uh, I'll go hang up my
outfit and see who else is here.

Thank you.

Oh, it looks great!

So festive!

-Hi!
-Hi.

Was that principal carmichael?

Yes.

Yes, it was.

Some things never change, huh?

Like me directing this pageant.

It's all I have time
for these days.

So what is all this?

Is it santa's workshop?

It will be with another
coat of paint.

Michael, look who's here.

-Michael!
-Hi aunt brooke!

Hi!

I'm sorry I haven't been able
to see you yet.

Your mom was telling me
that you're getting so tall.

Actually, I'm average
for my age

but we're expecting a growth
spurt in a couple of years.

Good to know.

ok, off you go,
back to the presents.

You know, if you guys
need some help,

uh, I'm pretty good
with a paint brush.

Yes, please.

That would be great.

Hey, michael?

Can you please show tyler
what needs painting?

He's going to help.

Ok.

Yeah.

Thank you.

I was hoping we could chat
but you seem really busy.

No, please.

I could use the break.

-Yeah?
-Yeah.

Ok, kids. Just keep doing
what you're doing.

Just with more cheer.

Huh?

Merry, merry!

Let's go to the break room.

So what's up?

Ok, I'm working on an event

and I need some really great
christmas cookie recipes.

I was thinking
grandma sherman's?

Oh, they were the best.

Do I have those?

Oh, maybe I do have those...
In a box somewhere at home.

Oh, when do you need
them by?

Tomorrow.

I know you have so much
going on.

Say no more.

I should have about an hour
between this and the show

and if I can find them,
I will bring them tonight.

Thank you.

You're a lifesaver.

I can't wait to see it all
come together.

Oh, it's so cute,
isn't it?

Michael is so happy you're here.

Hey, look at me!
I'm an airplane!

Oh, that's not good.

Joey!

Joey, get down from that ladder!
Hey!

Yeah. Careful.

There we go.

A little help?

It's not very easy to see.

Tyler, you are doing great.

Just put it over here
by the window.

Just follow my voice.

Oh, watch the chair.

Here we go.

This tree is gorgeous.

It's from a lot in town.

It's not your tree farm
but I think it'll do.

I mean, the shape
and the size,

it really doesn't get
much more perfect than this.

Just imagine it with lights
and ornaments.

The lights are here, uh,
the ornaments are where?

In the garage.

You deal with that tangle
and I'll get the rest.

How is it that every year
I put these away

in neat little coils and still
they come out like this?

It's a christmas mystery.

Part of the fun.

Actually, one of the traditions
I've been missing.

Oh, you miss this?

Mmmhmm.

Ok, if you say so, but this is
one christmas tradition

I'm willing to pass on.

uh, what time's
the show tonight?

Are you sure you
don't mind going?

Of course not.

I've got a big stake
in this production.

Some of my finest painting
is up on that stage

and I promised your nephew.

Michael's a great kid.

He really is.

My sister has it all.

That family, a job she loves.

Here I thought I was
the lucky one,

going to college and being
so independent,

chasing my dreams.

Well, I mean, it looks from here
like you've got it made.

What could be missing?

A relationship eventually,

and a career I can fall
in love with.

So not marketing?

Marketing is the first thing
that has felt like a good fit.

Do I wanna do it forever?

I don't know.

Here's the first bunch.

Tyler, I just saw
the mail truck pull up.

Do you mind checking while
brooke and I start on these?

Sure thing.

We didn't get very far.

alright then.

I regret to inform you...
Changing markets.

Evelyn, you have so many
beautiful ornaments.

My husband was a collector.

Really?

Yeah.

Oh, this one has been
on my tree every year

since I married tyler's father.

It was a christmas wedding,
did you know?

That's lovely.

Most all of these have stories
to tell.

Oh, what about this one?

That is a family heirloom.

Tyler's grandfather painted
that the very first year

he had the vineyard.

So special.

oh, no tyler, what's wrong?

Another distributor
has rejected us.

And in the form letter
of all things.

It's not the end
of the world.

Well, it might be the end
of ours.

Carla's offer only extends
until christmas eve.

Either we accept it
or we risk foreclosure.

And they get the property
from the bank at a big discount.

Won't there be distributors
at the fair?

If they taste your wine
you never know.

Only the hosting winery
can supply the wine.

It's one of the reasons

that carla took over the fair
this year.

Ok, then we'll focus
on online sales.

And for customers who visit

I have an idea for a sip
and ship promotion.

They try it, they like it,
we take it from there.

The easier we make it
for them-

stop. Please.

I mean- fancy decorations
and free shipping

aren't going to save us
right now.

We still have time to attract
another distributor.

Or what do you suggest?

Selling out?

Giving up?

What other choice do we have?

Hey.

Hey.

Are you ok?

Yeah, yeah.

I'm good.

I just- I look out there
and I see myself

at five or six tagging along
by my grandfather,

picking grapes
in the summer heat.

My dad's nearby,
he's planting new vines.

Worrying about too much water,
or not enough.

Three generations.

Three generations of lockwoods
are counting on me, brooke.

We will find a solution.

Yeah, but you can't
promise that.

No, I can't.

But I can try.

This place is everything to me.

It's all that I am.

It's family.

Speaking of family, I have
to get going for the pageant.

I'll tell kelly and michael
why you can't make it.

No, no, no, there's no way
I'm missing that.

You still wanna go?

Yes. I promised michael.

You are so good with kids.

I'm surprised you haven't
settled down

and had some of your own
by now.

Ah.

Well, if it happens,
it happens.

I've got the winery,
the vineyards.

So for now, at least,
I think that's enough.

I don't know why enough
has never been enough for me.

It just always feels like
there's something better

waiting over the horizon
or around the bend.

But you miss out on a lot
of life that way, don't you?

Appreciate today.

That's what my grandfather
taught me.

And then you just sorta let
tomorrow take care of itself.

Smart man.

Yeah. So I guess now
all I can do is trust that.

Hmm.

ok, alright.

Oh, cher, frankie, joey,
come away from the curtain.

Come on.

Ok.

Everyone, come over,
I need your attention.

Everyone, we're gonna
sit down.

Shh.

Alright, thank you, everyone.

Ok, principal carmichael is
playing pretend santa this year.

Now, we need your attention,
ok?

Ok, we went over your lines
this afternoon.

Does anybody have
any questions?

Yes, cher, you have
a question?

I don't remember my line.

Oh, that's ok.

Let me see.

You walk up to santa
and you say

you want new wings
for christmas.

You want new-

no, no, no. You say "I want
new wings for christmas".

"I want new wings".

You want new wings, too?

Ok.

The magic of theatre, somehow it
all magically comes together.

Hey, uh, I don't see michael.

Oh yeah, he's the little
christmas tree.

He's right...

You do what you need to do here,
we will find him.

Ok?

Thank you.

Ok, so we're gonna stay here and
we're gonna be nice and quiet.

Michael, is that you in there?

It's me.

I'm a tree.

You gotta get out there, bud.

It's almost showtime.

I don't think I can do it.

Sure you can.

Do you remember
what you're gonna say?

What you're gonna ask santa?

Yes.

I want the star on top to shine
all through christmas.

It's dumb.

Hey, it's not dumb.

It's a great line.

It's for the audience, anyway.

They're gonna eat it up.

Santa's depending on you.

You know that's not really
santa, right?

Right, because the real santa is
getting ready for christmas eve.

Do we need to have a talk?

Michael, you're an actor.

Your job is to convince
the audience

that that santa
is the real deal.

That won't be easy.

Everybody knows
principal carmichael.

The most important thing is
that you know in your heart

that everything will work out
if you believe in yourself.

Do you think you can do that?

Yes, maybe if I improvise
a little.

Thanks, aunt brooke!

Wow.

You ever think about
coaching football?

You're a natural.

I'm not ruling anything out.

Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho.

Merry christmas,
little angel.

Do you know what
santa wonders?

He wonders what you want
under your tree this year.

Most of all, you want-

I want new wings
for christmas!

Ho, ho, ho!

That is a good wish!

We'll see what santa can do
about that.

there you are, dear.
Take a bow.

oh, and you, my favourite
christmas tree.

What do you want from santa
this year?

I would like a star on top,
up here,

that shines all
through christmas

and to light up
the whole world!

Ho, ho, ho, ho!

isn't that-
take a bow.

Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho!
Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho!

Oh, thank you.

Thank you.

Do we still need those?

Absolutely.

We stick with the plan,

We spread the word

Santa here at lockwood
family crest wines

hoping that you will all come by
tomorrow night

for a very special,
one-of-a-kind event.

You can ask santa's elf.

This time of year

there's nothing the big guy
likes more than cookies.

And what goes better
with cookies

than lockwood crest
family wines?

You see, I...

Guys, I'm sorry. We gotta
stop for a second.

Brooke? Seriously?

Keep going.
You're doing great.

I'm-

adorable, both of you.
Like a christmas card.

Well, now I know how michael
felt in his tree costume.

Tyler, this is a family
business.

You're the face of it.

Carla's company cannot compete
with a personal touch like this.

And the big distributors
in portland and seattle

will eat this up.

I'm serious.

Ok, ok.

It's kinda hard to take you
seriously in this get up,
you know?

I told you, christmas really
brings out the elf in me.

Literally, this year.

The elf has a point.
And not just her ears.

You're spreading
christmas cheer.

Yeah, so keep spreading it.

Ok, ready?

Action!

Uh, sorry.

That's your job.

Yep.

Won't happen again.
Glad you're here.

Ho, ho, ho, ho!

Merry christmas!

This is santa saying stop by
lockwood family winery

for cookies and wine
this christmas

for a special family event.

Ugh!

♪

then we mix in
the dry ingredients

and before you know it...
Voila.

We've got dough.

Doesn't this bring back
so many memories?

All that time with grandma
in the farmhouse kitchen.

Alright, who wants
to roll them out?

Oh, have rolling pin,
will roll.

Excellent.

Oven at 375.

That is me.

Check.

Can I taste?

Woah, woah, woah.

Not until we're done, buddy.

But what you can do is
be on cookie cutter duty.

Pick whichever one you like.

I like the reindeer.

Oh, excellent choice.

Anything I can do when
I'm done here?

Please, you've done enough.

I mean, if anybody doesn't know
about this event by now

they're just not
paying attention.

And I personally contacted
every distributor on the coast.

Ok, so 12 more trays
of these.

We should be all set.

Winemaker, author, baker.

Is there no end to your talent?

ah.

Now, we have more than enough
cookies to decorate.

And then can I taste?

and then you can taste.

Even santa and his elves
couldn't get this many done

in time for tonight.

Hey, come on, where's
that christmas spirit

that you're so famous for?

Pass me the green icing,
would you?

Oh, um... Do you mean
this green?

are you sure you don't wanna
try some red?

Do not start something
you can't finish.

Enough, alright you two.

You are setting a bad example
for the c-h-I-l-d.

I can spell, you know.

Ok, ok, back to work, people.

Lot of cookies to do.

A few dozen more like that
and we're done.

this cabernet sauvignon
with the peppermint cookies

is a classic pairing.

So decadent and so good.

Mmm. Very tasty.

Here you are, gary.

Try the merlot
and chocolate chip.

You're not gonna believe
how well this goes together.

These cookies.

It's a family recipe.

We baked them ourselves.

Delicious.

So now you know where
michael and I were all day.

That's time well spent,
I'd say.

Santa's jam-filled
thumbprint cookies

and lockwood crest pinot noir.

Oh... Delicious.

That's a pinot, you say?

Ours is a dry red.

You'll appreciate the
fruit-forward character

with notes of plum
and black cherry.

Very complex with lasting aromas
on the finish.

It's really one of
my favourites.

Mmm.

This is a perfect event, brooke.

And such a nice turnout,
considering.

Considering?

The ice storm
over the mountains.

You didn't hear?

So no one can get here
from the coast?

All of the passes are closed.

I had a friend driving
in from portland.

I so wanted you two
to meet.

I know he would have
loved this.

well, the storm stopped
all the major distributors

from getting here.

I know, but think of everyone
who did make it.

They'll spread the word,
like a grassroots campaign.

All it takes is one right word
in one right ear.

Where'd you get all that
information tonight?

Fruit-forward notes
of black cherries.

Oh, you noticed that,
did you?

Yeah.

That was from your book.

You should read it sometime.

You seemed right at home.

Every word.

We're a good fit,
wine and I.

Who would have guessed?

There's something really
appealing about the business.

Just the business?

Well, the co-workers
are pretty attractive, too,

so that's a plus.

Yeah, now that you mention it,
my mom is quite the knock-out.

hey look, it's snowing.

Was that in the forecast?

No, it's only supposed
to be up in the mountains.

Reminds me of
my sophomore year

when it snowed the night
of winter prom.

I was there.

What was the theme, again?

-Snowfall.
-Snowfall.

Not a flake in the forecast
all week

and then midnight rolled around
the band was playing

and there it was...
Like magic.

You know, it sorta feels
like magic all over again.

Or is that just me?

wow.

This is one of tyler's
grandfather's notebooks.

He kept track of everything.

Weather, soil conditions,
pruning schedules...

I just remember him writing
and writing and writing

at the kitchen table
when I was a kid.

I haven't looked at these
in years.

Here's an original sketch
of the chapel.

Oh, wow.

So artistic.

He would have loved you,
brooke.

Hmm. You know, there could be
something in here

we could use as promotion.

Some family history
that might give us a hook.

Do you mind if I read it?

Not at all.

If there's something to be had,
have at it.

Great.

Anything interesting in there?

Maybe something about
a buried treasure?

wouldn't that
come in handy right about now?

This is really the treasure
in and of itself.

New varieties, new blends.

Storage.

It's basically the entire
lockwood family crest history.

Yeah, well keep reading.

I'm holding out for a map
to gold bars on the back 40.

Well, hello there.

This could be something.

Hey.

Are you busy?

Hi.

Never for you.

Mrs. Lockwood said I would
find you out here.

What is this chemistry
experiment?

I am fooling around
with some of

tyler's grandfather's old
recipes he never got around to.

There's some really interesting
blends in there.

It's not as hard as it looks.
It's actually kind of fun.

Anyone can follow the recipe.

Mmmhmm.

What're you doing out here?

Well, now that the play is done
I have time

to spend with my sister and...
Michael made you this.

You are his favourite aunt,
you know.

I'm his only aunt.

So cute.

I just need a refrigerator
and a magnet.

Hmm.

Thank you.

I love it.

You look awfully at home
behind this bar here.

Oh yeah?

What'll it be?

What're you pouring?

If you're serious,
try this.

Oh.

Ok.

This is delicious.

It's good, right?

Is this one of these blends?

Yeah, most of them
are nothing special

but there's something
about this one.

Yeah, I agree.

What does tyler think?

I haven't told him yet.

I wanted to surprise him
with it.

Do you have a crush
on him?

this is excellent.

We should drink to this.

We should.

3a, anyone?

Cheers.

Well, isn't this a sherman
sisters christmas card?

Oh, we were just talking
about you.

Oh?

You know what I think?

We should all get together.

Maybe it'll make up
for the fair.

The christmas fair?
What do you mean?

Yeah, what- what about it?

It was cancelled this morning.

Uh, something about kilgore
wineries' new expansion

not passing city inspection.

You don't know.

So she just called it off?
Can she do that?

It's her valley these days.

The rest of us, I guess,
just live in it.

She didn't grow up here.

She doesn't understand
what this fair means to us.

I mean, it's been a part of
our christmas every year

since we were kids.

I know, the whole town's upset.

At least, everyone
I've talked to,

but what can we do?

We can move it out here.

Brooke, I don't- I don't-

I am serious.

We move it out here and we
make it the fair we remember.

Right, but an event of that size
it takes city approvals,

and with only two days

I'm afraid there's just
not enough time.

No, maybe there is.

I know all of those officials.

I've taught their kids and they
were relying on the fair, too.

Can you make some calls?

I can.

Guys, with everything going
on right now

I'm just not sure that this
should be our focus.

This should absolutely
be the focus.

What better way to attract
a national distributor?

The excitement, the energy.

If we move the fair here
we are the hosts,

and if we are the hosts
we supply the wine,

and if we supply the wine,

the wine will be

Lockwood family crest.

What better promotion?

Let's make those calls.

Thank you all for showing up
on such short notice.

Look, the fair's off.

Don't we all have better things
to do?

Well, it's only off because
you didn't pass inspection.

Tyler, you know about
building permits.

One little thing...

Half a dozen little things
is what we hear.

Either way, I don't have time
to get them fixed.

I'm disappointed, too.

I know.

And that's why we're suggesting,
tyler and I,

that we host the fair.

Move it out to lockwood
family crest.

Why didn't we think of that?

The whole community is looking
forward to it,

and my friend can finally
meet you.

Well, it's- it's too late.

You still have to get approval
from the city.

Yes, actually...
We're all set.

So we could cancel the fair
for the first time in 50 years

or we could spread the word,

let people know
that we're moving it

down the road a few miles.

And we can make it the fair
we all remember.

All the events,
all the family fun.

We can really bring christmas
back to the valley.

Isn't it worth a vote?

Hey, not so fast.

As chair I'm the only one
who can do that.

Well, then I move
that you do that.

Ok then, um... Provided
the papers are in order.

Oh, they are.

Who all is in favour of moving
the venue

to the lockwood family crest?

Aye.

Alright, we got the fair and
everyone seems happy about it.

Still a lot of work to do.

Yeah, but so much of it has
already been arranged.

All we have to do is call
the band,

re-route deliveries, and focus
on bringing back the fun of it.

Photos with santa,
candy making.

The- the stuffed elf toss?

Obviously.

Hey, do you have time for,
you know,

one more stop
before we go back home?

One last tradition?

Who's? Yours?

Something I wanna share
with you.

Sure.

Hey, come on!

Keep up!

Ha!

Ok, let's remember
that this was your idea!

And I don't get a lot of
snowshoe practise in seattle.

It's the only way to get
to where we're going.

Ha!

Left, right, left, right.

oh, wow.

This view.

Is this what you wanted
to show me?

Mmmhmm.

It's the entire valley.

I try to get out here at least
once a season.

Until now I really wasn't sure
which one would be my favourite.

Which is it?

Oh, definitely winter.

This winter.

I can see everything
down there.

The town, the vineyards...

My whole childhood
is down there.

Thank you for showing
me this.

It's my pleasure.

I honestly can't remember
enjoying a christmas

as much as this one.

You know I go back to seattle
after the fair, right?

Is that certain?

It's my life.

Your life is here, too.

In that valley.

Your friends, your family.

You said it yourself.

You're looking for a place
that fits.

A job.

A relationship.

Brooke, you are the most
incredible woman

I have ever met.

Tyler, I don't wanna give you
the wrong impression,

it's just... Timing's not right.

Are you sure?

I mean, that kiss sort of
tells me that-

come on, we have so much
work ahead of us.

We need to focus.

You're not helping.

And I'm distracting.

Ok, this is good.
Excellent.

Stop stalling. I'm serious.

We have to get back and-
and set things in motion.

Ok. We will go.

Hey.

Sharing this?

I won't forget it.

One more question, though.

Is there an easier way back?

like skis or a tube?

Taxi, maybe?

No?

Oh, robert, I love that.

Let's get that right
by the entrance, ok?

And we're gonna move the food
stations closer to the venue

so just check out the site map I
gave you when you get a chance.

Tony, that looks amazing!

Let's just make sure

we get the ornaments going
up this way, too, alright?

I'm seeing a few gaps in there.

You got it.

Everybody, you're doing
a great job!

I'm loving it!

Dining tables are all set up
in the aging room.

I cannot wait to see it all
lit up with the chandeliers.

If lockwood family crest
is going out,

we're going out with a bang.

So listen, uh, mom's just
waiting back at the house,

we're supposed to select
our featured wine.

We've got our choices down
to about three.

Great.

Do you want to come by,
join us, weigh in?

Yeah, I'd love to.

Awesome.

Anything else I can do
before I go?

Oh, did the elves arrive?

Elves?

For the holiday elf toss.

Don't worry, they're bean bags,
they don't eat much.

Will you help me track
them down?

Will do.

But then we have tasting, yeah?

Great.

Ten minutes?

I'll be there.

-Alright.
-Ok.

So we need to make a strong
impression tomorrow night

and we could use
another opinion.

We'd love to know
what you think, brooke.

Seriously?

What is this, a final exam
or something?

Something like that.

Go for it.

Ok.

Nice body.

It's dry, crisp.

Not overpowering.

Nice acidity.

Spot on.

I'm not sure about the tannins,
though.

A little bitter, maybe.

Mmm.

Great aroma.

Nice texture.

Oaky.

I like that... Earthy, too.

That's good, right?

Depending on the wine,
yeah.

Yeah.

For this one,
it's very good.

What about this last one?

Mmm.

This is very complex.

It starts with
the fruity undertones

and then smoky overtones.

I'm getting a hint of...
Gummy bear?

what?

She's right.

Gummy bears.

I think that might be
my favourite.

I agree.

Of these, that would be
my choice, as well.

Tyler?

Yeah.

Yeah. It's good.

I mean, they're all good.

With carla and her friends here
we need to be sure

that we completely knock
this out of the park.

In that case... I might be
overstepping, but...

Do you guys mind
if I suggest one?

A different one?

All of our best options are
right here, brooke.

Is it one of our wines?

Sort of.

It's a blend I made.

That you made?

I had help from a new friend.

I was thinking we could call it
"a christmas bordeaux".

A christmas wine?

Very interesting.

This could be the key
to the future.

A new product.

Something to build a whole
campaign around.

I started to sketch a new label.

It's rough, but I think
you'll like it.

A new label- why would we
change our label?

Well, most people buy
the artwork, not the wine.

Oh, that's colourful,
it must be good.

The old label is beautiful.

My grandfather designed
that label.

It's part of our brand
and it's our history.

And this keeps with
your family tradition.

It incorporates the old label

plus the sketch of the chapel
your grandfather designed.

The chapel.

That's something.

No, it... I mean, there's enough
change around here already,

isn't there?

Tyler, trust me.

This could be the big idea
we've been looking for.

A launching pad for a whole
series of holiday wines.

Taste it, tyler.

I'm not gonna taste it, mom.
It's a blend.

Our reputation is on the line

and a blend is not going
to cut it.

That's a little harsh,
don't you think?

You don't know the business
specifically, brooke.

And you don't know our family
like we do.

It's not your fight.

You're right.

Absolutely right.

What was I thinking?

I...

Brooke, I didn't mean it
like that.

It's a really great blend,
you know.

And you won't even try it.

It's your grandfather's.

He left it for you.

He even called it
"tyler's blend".

What?

Tyler's blend.

It's in his notes.

It's christmas eve.

What if your grandfather
just handed us the miracle

we have been waiting for?

-Is that the north pole?
-Yeah.

Great. I'll meet you outside and
show you where it goes, ok?

Wait... I...

Brooke...

I'll finish this up, but
after the fair that's it.

I've done what I can do.

How'd it go?

Not perfect.

I'm not surprised,
given your attitude.

You really should try this.

Go on.

That's not bad.

That's really good.

Good?

It's sensational.

Why would she go through
all this trouble?

You have to ask?

Ty, you know everything about
wine but nothing about women.

Yeah.

I don't know.

However this goes,

I'm finishing up
and heading back

right after the fair tomorrow.

I know it'll be late but
I just wanna get home.

Yeah, it's been great, but...

This is tyler's life.
Not mine.

Well, he made it pretty clear
I don't belong.

Merry christmas to you,
too, sis.

And to scott and michael.

I love you guys so much.

Ok.

Bye.

♪ we wish you a
merry christmas, ♪

♪ we wish you a
merry christmas, ♪

♪ and a happy new year ♪

Five, four, three,
two, one!

toss the elf,
win a prize!

Check out the lady, folks.

The one-time champion
defending her record.

Ah, jack, you're making
me blush.

Alright, I'll bite.

Oh.

So close!

Not close enough.

ahem.

Oh, you think you can
do better?

Step back, sis.

Watch and learn.

Ok, here we go.

the winner!

And new champion!

Ok.

Yay!

Thank you.

There's always next year, sis.

I guess I really didn't know
who I was dealing with.

Everything I remember,
everything I've been missing.

You guys get out there!

You gotta enjoy the fair!

Yes!

Ok, see you later.
Have fun.

I love you.

See ya.

Brooke, this is very impressive.

The whole town is out here
enjoying what you've done here.

Thank you.

That means a lot to me.

I just... I wanted to share
the kind of christmas

I grew up with as a kid.

Well, you had some kind
of childhood.

Not like the one I had.

Wish I'd had yours.

Anyway, um... If you ever decide

to go into the wine business
full time let me know.

Call me.

You would make a wonderful
addition to my team.

Think about it.

-Hey.
-Hey.

What does she want now?

Carla thinks I should go
into the wine business.

After what I've seen these past
two weeks she may be right.

Listen, brooke.

I'm sorry I overreacted.

I mean, if this wasn't
so important to me

I'm sure I would have-

no apology needed.

I... I really do understand.

I know your life isn't here.

But I'd be lying to you
if I said

that this time we spent together
has been anything but great.

What do you say?
Are you up for a photo?

Maybe a little something
to remember this by?

Oh, I don't think I'm going
to be forgetting this

any time soon.

Well, me neither, but, you know,
it'd be fun.

Ho, ho, ho.

Well, look at you two!

Don't forget to leave
some cookies out.

And some wine to go
with them.

Alright, let's get some
christmas smiles.

There's the camera.

Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho!

You seem different tonight.

Relaxed or something.

You have to go home,
I get that.

Doesn't mean we can't enjoy
the time we have left.

Brooke...

No matter what happens
between us going forward,

you brought christmas back.

For me, for mom...

It just means so much more
than you know.

Tyler, I'm not ready
to give up.

We've come so far.

If we just had a little
more time.

It's christmas eve.

There is no more time.

We take carla's offer tonight
or we risk losing everything.

I'm afraid it is what it is.

um, as- as chair of this event
I just wanna wish you all

a merry christmas, and thank you
so much for coming.

Oh, and big thank you
to lockwood family crest

for lending us at the last
minute this wonderful winery.

Thank you.

it's proof that good things can
come in very small packages.

Good things can also come
in very big packages.

Like kilgore wines.

We're pleased to announce
that we are going to continue

to expand into the coming year

so we can continue to support

those of you who are struggling
to make ends meet.

And we may even have
an announcement

at midnight tonight.

but we should hear
from our host.

Tyler lockwood, would you like
to say a few words?

thank you.

Thank you all.

Now, I can't even begin
to put into words

what an evening like this means

to lockwood family crest wines,
as well.

Celebrating the season with
our family, our dear friends,

and all of you
lovely neighbours.

And we all know how hard it is
for a modest winery like ours

to survive, let alone
to succeed nowadays.

And so, like all of you,
it is our duty and privilege

to do whatever it takes...
To adapt.

And so, from the bottom
of my heart, folks,

thank you so much,
thank you.

this night is for you!
Now drink up!

Wine is on the house.

You used my blend.

And the label.

Yeah, I had the bottlers
working overtime.

So you were right, brooke.

I was wrong.

I should probably tattoo
that somewhere now.

Probably.

tyler, set aside a bottle
of that new wine for us

for our new year's party?

Kelly, are you kidding?
It's on the house.

Thank you.

Of course.

-Love you.
-Love you.

-Bye.
-Bye guys.

-Goodnight.
-So cute.

I gotta hand it to you, tyler.

This new blend

is gonna make a very nice
addition to my catalogue.

How?

Look at the time.

What's your decision?

Do you wanna sell?

Or should I just deal with
the bank come spring?

There you are.

I'm so sorry to interrupt, but
my friend wants to meet you.

The one who couldn't
make the wine pairing
because of the storm?

Vince talbot.

Tyler lockwood. Welcome.

Vince talbot from portland.

You're a distributor.

One of the biggest.

You are the friend
lila wanted us to meet.

Yes.

Mr. Talbot, carla kilgore.

You and I have traded calls
for the past few weeks.

Yes, we have.

But I'm here to see
mr. Lockwood.

I'll leave you all to talk.

I saw the santa commercial,

and like lila said I couldn't
make the cookie pairing,

but I was hoping we might
connect here tonight.

We're all really glad
that you came.

Uh, the commercial, in fact,
was brooke's.

That was yours?

It was.

Very smart.

I love the family angle.

Thank you.

Word around the industry

is that you've lost
your distribution deal.

We can fix that.

You wanna work with us?

Yeah.

Would you be open
to discussing that?

Is tomorrow soon enough?

tomorrow is christmas.

Yep.

The day after.

If you can guarantee us
at least 800 cases of that

christmas blend for next year
I think you've found a product

that might just re-launch
your winery.

And from there?

And from there?

And from there we go national.

The sky's the limit.

Call me.

Ok.

carla, I think I've got
your answer right here.

Talbot is a great businessman,
and if this works out for you,

well, congratulations.

It almost sounds like
you mean that.

I've always said that
this valley

is big enough for everyone.

I don't remember
you ever saying that.

Well, I'm saying it now.

It's almost like
we're a big family.

Family is everything.

Right?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Merry christmas.

I wish you didn't have
to leave.

Especially christmas eve.

I know, but I've been gone
long enough

and there's so much work
waiting for me.

A promotion, new accounts.

Thank you both so much
for the past few weeks.

You can't go
before opening this.

It's from both of us.

I didn't get you anything.

You gave us our winery.

We couldn't have asked santa
for a better gift.

Just a little something
to remember us by.

Your grandfather's ornament.

I could not possibly
accept this.

Like it or not,
you're family now.

This is a treasure.

Really, thank you.

You have no idea how much
I love this.

Merry christmas, dear.

This place isn't gonna feel
the same without you.

You gave me a christmas
I will never forget.

I mean it.

Not a flake in the forecast.

How about that?

It's like magic again.

all my life I felt like
something's missing.

Coming here made me realize
what it is.

Work I love, this feeling
of family I love.

And?

Isn't it obvious?

This is where I belong.

is that mistletoe?

Merry christmas to me.

Merry christmas to us.

To us.
