What I want, you've got, and it might be hard to handle, like a flame that burns a

candle, a candle feeds a flame, yeah, yeah.

What I've got, full stock, of thoughts and dreams that scatter, and you pull them all

together, and I can't explain, oh yeah.

Well, well, you, you make my dreams come true.

You, you, you, well, well, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you.

You know what?

I think everything is looking really good for this point in the summer.

I was kind of worried with all the late rains we had.

I wasn't worried.

That's because you never worry about anything.

Well, that's what you're here for.

You are the classic overthinker.

It's called planning ahead.

Well, it's a good thing, because together, we are a perfect balance.

Like...

Wine and cheese.

All right, fine.

As long as I get to be the wine in this scenario.

You are so the cheese.

What?

What kind of cheese?

Gorgonzola, obviously.

Obviously.

You really want to know why I'm not worried?

Why?

Because we have Sorrento, we have our first vintage ready to bottle,

and we have each other.

Oh, see?

You're the cheese.

All right, get over here.

Where?

Uh, we should hold that thought.

We're still on the clock.

I'll just ask one of the owners if we can take a break.

She said yes.

I know, but we should really try to keep business and romance separate, Frankie.

I'm sorry, sir, because I thought that you were the one who kissed me just then.

I didn't say that it would be easy, but we should try.

We need to be able to make business decisions about Sorrento with our...

Heads and not our hearts.

Okay, I don't sound like that, but yes.

But wine is all about heart.

All right, well, I'm pretty sure the bank isn't going to

be accepting emotions as payment when our loan is due soon.

Well, someone very wise once said, don't let the accountants make the wine.

You just made that up.

It's possible.

All right.

Well, as long as it's business time, I'm going to go ahead and think outside

the box about these vines, then we can circle back about the other stuff later.

Now you are pushing it.

What are you going to do, report me to HR?

Quitting time, business partner, which means that you can be my girlfriend again.

Oh, mittens, really?

Come on, Llama.

You're supposed to go chase squirrels.

Do we look like squirrels to you?

Did he just say yes?

Yeah.

Oh, my gosh.

I got to get Lexi from the train station.

Lexi, I am so glad that you are here.

Oh, me too.

I really am just sorry, though, that it took your

restaurant closing down for you to have time to come up.

I know.

It's fine, though, really.

I mean, it's not like Chicago is the only place that needs pastry chefs, right?

Well, maybe this time you'll fall in love with St. Madeleine and you'll stay.

Oh, well, it is gorgeous here.

Pick the right time of year.

Yeah, it seems like it.

What is all the Summerfest stuff?

Okay, so every year here on Main Street, there's

a week-long arts festival called Art Walk.

Then there's a food and wine pairing called Paste of St. Madeleine.

All of the wineries pair up their new vintage with a big-time chef.

It's awesome.

That sounds incredible.

It is.

Are you neighboring that?

Who's your chef?

We are, but unfortunately, it seems all of the

established wineries have snatched everyone up.

Aw.

Well, that's great.

Hey, are you hungry?

Yeah, I'm actually starving.

Okay, good.

Let's get to the house.

Nate is cooking, and I cannot wait for you to meet him.

I still can't get over that you ended up buying a winery with a DeLuca.

Aren't we both supposed to have some decades-old feud with them?

Let's just say we managed a truce.

Hey, Marco.

Hey.

Got those filters you were looking for.

Oh, thanks, big bro.

Still working away on this exhaust here.

You want to put that one in for me?

Thank you.

I was just bringing it to you.

I don't work here anymore.

Well, then maybe you should take it.

You're just helping out your little brother, huh?

Hmm.

Fine.

Can you pass me that one-inch crescent, please?

That I can do.

So, how are things going around here?

I know you had to take on a lot more after I left.

Oh, it's fine.

The usual.

Still looking for something new to sink my teeth into, like you did, though.

I thought you were happy taking over the family business.

Yeah, I am.

But, you know, there's nothing wrong with wanting something more.

That's the DeLuca in you.

Yeah.

Hey, you want to come by Sorrento for dinner tonight?

What?

And take more heat from Frankie by breaking her best friend Hannah's heart?

I don't think so.

I'm making ribs.

I'm making ribs.

There.

Oh, no, dear.

It's Trace's lemonade time.

Okay.

You guys, this house is awesome.

Mm-hmm.

But you both own it, right?

Right.

So how does she convince you to let her live here instead of you?

By reminding him that whoever lives here has to take care of the llama.

Not a fan.

Um, I forgot the cookies.

I'll be right back.

Would you mind grabbing the bread when you're in there?

Sure.

Thanks.

Hey, Marco.

Hey.

Marco, what are you doing all the way over here?

Another broken-hearted woman chased you out of town?

I invited him earlier.

I'm pretty sure I told you.

Let me get this straight, Lexi's been in town an

hour and you're already setting her up on dates?

No, absolutely not.

You know how you mentioned it?

Sorry, who's Lexi?

She's my cousin, and she's off limits.

All right.

All right.

Don't worry about it.

I'm on a dating hiatus anyway.

Mm-hmm.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go get some coffee.

I'm going to go wash my hands.

Whoa.

Whoa.

Whoa.

Oh.

Oh.

Nice save.

Got it.

Yeah.

Sometimes the soccer goalie in me comes in handy.

Oh, no way.

I was a soccer goalie, too.

No way.

It takes a lot of guts to put your body on the line like that.

Yeah.

Broken, fractured, torn Achilles heel.

Broken, torn ACL, stitches.

Oh, nice.

Yeah.

Thank you.

No problem.

I'm Marco De Luca, by the way, Nate's brother, fourth-generation winemaker.

I'm Lexi, Frankie's cousin, first-generation pastry chef.

Ah.

Did you bake those?

I did.

Can I... Do you want one?

Yes.

Wow.

Wow.

Well done.

Thank you.

Lexi, do not fall for the De Luca charms.

They're heartbreakers, all of them.

Whoa.

Oh, you're reformed.

This one, that's the one.

Gotcha.

Okay.

Okay, that is not true.

And I just want you to know that I'm a big fan of flour, butter, sugar, and an egg.

So if you ever need a taste test, let me know.

I will keep that in mind.

Wash your hands.

So, Nate, Frankie told me you guys are doing the Taste of Saint-Madeleine.

I can't wait to go.

Well, we still need to find a chef to team up with.

It's not easy, but we're trying.

Everyone pays top dollar for the best of the best, which is why De Luca Winery is

pairing up once again with Chef Jane Turner.

Wait, the chef from the Tableau de France?

Yep.

I didn't even try and get a reservation

because they're booked like a year in advance.

Do you guys really know her?

Yeah.

Yeah, she's amazing.

Well, as amazing as she is, I think Nate here is giving her a run for her money.

That homemade sauce you put on the ribs, the truffled mashed potato, that cilantro

coleslaw, I think that was all restaurant quality.

And pretty much everything he makes is that good.

So, Nate, why don't you do the pairing?

That's actually not a bad idea.

Wait, really?

Maybe you could do a dessert with them.

Oh, I don't know.

Oh, no, pairing is all about balance.

So if you have a wine with fruit undertones, you

just balance it with something savory or tart.

And if you have a wine with... And if it's oaky, you balance it with something sweet?

Yeah, I know.

Right.

Of course you do.

But you do know your stuff.

I just, I meant that I literally don't know if I could do the pairing.

I don't have anywhere to bake in such high volume.

And that reminds me, whoever does the tasting dinner also

has to cook for the long table dinner the next night.

What's that?

Uh, the winery who hosts the tasting throws a private

dinner for all the winemakers and their clients.

I just feel like we have so much on our plates right now.

We're releasing our first vintage.

We have next year's harvest.

You know what?

You're right.

We should focus on that.

Maybe next year.

Right.

Only ten days to go until Taste of St. Madeline.

And the debut of Sorrento's soon to be legendary first Cabernet Sauvignon.

Legendary, huh?

A little pressure there.

Why wouldn't it be?

And your Baldwin Cab won every single award

there was to win at last year's Harvest Festival.

What's the problem?

Everyone in this valley is expecting greatness and

we haven't even bottled Sorrento's first vintage yet.

Why wouldn't they?

Everyone knows what you can do with a barrel

of fermented grapes and a little time.

So do I.

You know that your opinion is the one that means the most to me, right?

I'm not worried.

Of course you're not.

You didn't realize we were talking about work during couple time, right?

No, it's a loophole.

I'm just telling my girlfriend how great I think she is.

Eh, winemaking.

You can't even follow your own rules.

Do you think we're capable of talking about something other than wine?

Of course we are.

We're getting ice cream.

Completely not wine-related.

Right?

What flavors do they have?

Cherry Chardonnay, Raspberry Merlot.

We sniffed it out.

But we tried.

We tried.

These look great.

The Lehman family is doing a wonderful job.

It's never easy for the host winery to juggle having both the wine and food

tasting and the long table dinner at their property.

I'm glad it's going smoothly.

They've waited a long time for their turn.

And now we have more artists and businesses participating in Art Walk than ever before.

What?

It seems the DeLuca Winery logo is substantially larger

than the Baldwin Farms logo and everyone else as well.

Charles Baldwin, you are so competitive.

Carla DeLuca, you are incorrigible.

Mmm, that's good.

Mmm.

You know that 100% of all ice cream-related accidents are preventable.

Mmm, no way.

Licking the side of an ice cream cone is what summer's about.

I'm going to try it.

No, I think I'll stick with my method.

Plus, it's less messy.

What?

Chef Jane.

Hey, guys.

We were just talking about you yesterday.

Oh, I wish I could help with the taste of St.

Madeleine, but I've been with DeLuca for so many years.

Right.

It's okay.

We can't afford you anyway.

Well, if you can put out a Cabernet that's

anything like last year's, it'll be very close.

I'm working on it.

I have no doubt.

Well, I've got to get back to the restaurant.

It's a lunch rush.

See you at the tasting?

We will.

You know, finding the right chef for Sorrento's first pairing is so important.

It is.

All the tourists and media, and we're running out of time.

Exactly.

Which is why I really think that I should do it.

I love your enthusiasm, but is that even allowed?

I don't know.

You should ask the planning committee.

You mean my dad and your mom?

Uh-huh.

Yeah, and look, there they are at their usual spot.

You know, for two people that are feuding so

much, they sure spend a lot of time together.

I'm pretty sure they co-chair every event so they can keep an eye on each other.

Here comes the kids.

Good to see you.

See you later.

Bye.

Hi, Mom.

Hey, hi.

Hey, sweetie.

Mr. Baldwin?

Uh, that would be Charles, please.

Okay, so, I have a quick question for you.

Shoot.

Is there any rule that says that a winery has to

hire a professional chef for the Tasting Mad line?

Well, uh... Oh, I think so.

No.

But we've always done it that way.

It's tradition.

Well, maybe it's time to break that tradition.

What are you saying?

I am saying that I'm going to be doing the cooking for Sorrento's Pairing.

Well, a lot of people attend the event.

Are you sure you want to take on all that extra work?

Yes.

Besides, you will help me.

Well, of course.

Well, good for you.

Making a big splash at Summerfest is important, especially in the first year.

I mean, most wineries don't make it past the first vintage.

This business is tough.

And any hook that makes Sorrento stand out will help.

Let's do it.

Yes.

Okay.

This is going to be fun.

Hey, why is the DeLuca logo so much bigger than all the other ones?

Traitor.

You know, I've always liked you.

Say, what would you think of us using my growing technique on the vineyard?

I'm going to plant some vines next year.

You're on my turf there, Baldwin.

We agreed that you were in charge of the wine, and I am in charge of the vines.

Yeah, but that doesn't mean that I don't have an opinion.

Look, I've been tweaking the soil over here, made the roots go deeper,

made them really struggle, and already the grape flowers are stronger.

Well, that's fantastic.

But I already sprayed my test row with this organic

fertilizer that I've been working on in the lab.

Look at these vines.

We're going to get such a higher yield on the grapes.

All I can say is, may the best vine win.

So, mine.

Obviously, I don't care as long as we stay in business.

So, mine.

Oh, mine.

You're so competitive.

Pot.

Kettle.

It's a compliment.

You remember in the fourth grade when I beat you at that spelling bee?

I made that angry little face.

Yeah, there it is.

See, that's when I knew you were my kind of gal.

First of all, that spelling bee is a total sham.

You get some easy word like cat, and we got acrylic rigged.

You want to go back to my house and take a look at the trophy?

I'll pass.

Well, then how about I stay here and I make you dinner?

Sounds more like it.

As long as you don't bring that guy.

Wouldn't it be amazing to host Summerfest here one day?

Yeah, that'd be incredible.

Both of our families' wineries became major players after they hosted,

and that would mean that we finally made it.

And that we did it without relying on our parents.

Of course, it takes years to get that chance.

Yeah, well, I guess we've just got to stay in business.

I mean, you remember what your mom said about first year wineries, right?

You name me one other first year winery that has

a vintner that's already won wine of the year.

You keep saying that, but you're forgetting that the

wine I made last year was with grapes from my dad's farm.

That was before we bought Sorrento.

That means our Cabernet, it's got to be as good as that.

It actually has to be better.

I am not worried.

Not worried?

I know.

You're here early.

Couldn't wait to see you.

Aw.

Count the minutes that we're apart.

A lot of minutes.

Seriously, what are you doing here?

We need to check the progress on the Shiraz grapes.

Oh.

Want to go down to the lake?

I would, but I have to get to the cellar.

I need to prep the bottling wine.

Yeah, you can do that another time.

It's too nice of a day to be stuck down in a dark cellar.

Especially since that means that you get to spend the morning with me.

Pretty sure of yourself there, huh, DeLuca?

Nah, just sure of you.

Mmm.

Well, I think it's a little bit early to be sweeping me off my feet.

Well, how about then I just sweep you into

the car so that we can go look at those vines?

Come on.

I promise you a great view.

Isn't there a better time of year at Sorrento than summer?

Nope.

It's pretty sweet.

It's so lush and so green.

Oh, no.

Oh, no.

That's what I said.

Jonah, how did this happen?

Hey, sis.

Water main break under the road leading to the

Lehman's property caused a bit of a sinkhole.

A bit?

It's huge.

The Lehman's okay?

They're fine.

Weight of the truck must have been the

final straw that made the pavement give way.

They got out as soon as the road started to buckle.

Can you believe this?

I'm so relieved the Lehman's are okay.

But hosting the Taste of St. Madeleine in just nine days?

That's another story.

What do you mean?

There's no other way to the property.

We don't have time to bridge this.

Sounds really disappointed.

We are.

Get another chance next summer.

Right now, we have to find a new winery to host this summer.

Well, that's easier said than done.

Well, let's see if they need more help before we start making phone calls.

I feel just terrible.

Such bad luck.

I mean, I kind of feel bad for whoever has to host.

Why?

You'd have just over a week to get the whole thing together.

No time to devote to your own winery, not to mention the costs.

Yeah, but every major wine critic in the country will be there.

That kind of publicity will be priceless for whoever hosts.

That's true.

It would be a major coup for whoever can pull it off in time.

And our local businesses and wineries cannot afford to

lose the major tourism and publicity event of the year.

I know we can't.

And Summerfest just wouldn't be Summerfest without the food and wine pairing.

It's what sets us apart.

Couldn't agree more.

So you want to come back to Sorrento, give the

cab a try before we get ready for bottling?

Absolutely.

Why don't you go ahead without me, get started, take the truck.

I'll get my mom to drop me off.

Okay.

It's not ready.

Frankie!

We are in!

In for what?

Hosting Summerfest, of course!

Excuse me?

Sorrento is going to have the most epic first

year wine launch in the history of the Valley.

It's just like you said, this is a huge coup.

I mean, aren't you excited?

With this kind of exposure, we are most likely

going to presale next year's vintage too.

Which means that we do not need to worry about surviving our first year, Frankie.

We don't have to worry about anything.

You can say something.

Speechless.

Frankie, aren't you more excited?

You said yourself that you wanted to host.

Yes, I meant, someday, not in a week and a half.

I said it was great publicity, you agreed.

I didn't know you meant Sorrento.

I thought I was pretty clear.

Look, putting together a food and wine pairing,

that's a big enough undertaking on its own.

Hosting the entire event at the last second, that's almost impossible.

It's not though, we have that empty spot in the back.

It's a nasty field overlooking the lake that we're going to expand onto someday.

It's also the host's responsibility to pay for

both events, and we don't have that kind of money.

We have our line of credit.

That's not what that's for.

That's for emergencies.

Like, for example, if some year we didn't have anything to bottle.

Okay, well, you would never let that happen.

And we both know that if we didn't have a vintage to put

out this year, even the emergency fund wouldn't cover us.

Nate, I love how driven you are.

Yes.

I really do, but we have enough on our hands just running this place.

I just think that we need to leave the hosting to someone else.

I already signed the contract.

Okay.

Here's the thing.

I know.

I should have talked to you first, but I

honestly thought that you were already on board.

Don't worry, okay?

Everything is going to be fine.

I just hope you're right.

It's okay.

Come here.

What?

I came down to see if you wanted something for dinner.

Isn't it a little bit early for dinner?

Um, it's almost nine o'clock.

I cannot believe how long I've been down here.

Yeah.

Come back to the house.

I'll make you something.

Oh, it's okay.

I've got a lot of work to do still.

What are you working on?

Um...

What?

Hey, Frankie, what's wrong?

It's the cabernet.

It's... it's not ready.

What does that mean?

It means it's just not quite good enough to put in a bottle.

Come on.

It kept you that bad.

It's not.

It's just nowhere close to where I need it to be.

I mean, people expect this wine to be mind-blowing, especially me.

Well, has he tried it?

No.

I...

I don't want to disappoint him.

You don't understand.

He loved my last wine so much.

He was...

He was moved by it.

He... He got it.

Yeah.

I don't know, Frankie.

I think you should talk to him.

I can control the oxygen levels.

I can manually alter the acidity.

I was just reading online about this winery that

superheated their cellar to accelerate the aging.

And if that doesn't work?

Well, I'll tell him.

Just has to be ready by summerfest.

That's all.

But it's gotta work.

Well, actually, this is so good, but I cannot just sit here.

I have too much to do.

I gotta call the florist for the long table dinner.

I gotta call the lighting guy.

Okay, look.

Finish your coffee.

I'm gonna take you to go.

Hi.

Hey, Nate.

Hi.

Look, I know you're not really thrilled about this whole hosting thing,

but I was wondering if you might be able to help me

decide how to best use the space for both events.

Look, uh, we both have our to-do lists today.

I just... I gotta... Frankie.

It's important to me.

All right.

See you in a bit, Lexi.

Okay, so I just have to level some of this out so we have a place to put the tents.

It's beautiful.

It really is, isn't it?

You want to see what's even more beautiful?

What's that?

The fact that even from here, I can see that my row of

fertilized grapes are clearly outgrowing our struggles.

Ugh.

All right.

You got me.

Taste of St. Maline's gonna be amazing here.

See, it's all gonna be worth it.

I promise.

So what happens if the launch of our first vintage doesn't go exactly as planned?

Always with the what-ifs.

It's my thing.

Humor me.

Okay.

If our launch is a failure, then we go broke, we lose

Sorrento, and we move in with our respective parents.

It's not funny.

It's a lot of pressure.

On me.

On us.

Look, you need to stop worrying.

Okay?

There's absolutely no downside to this.

Our cabernet is going to be amazing.

I can't wait to taste it.

Just gotta make a couple tweaks first.

Okay.

But we have to bottle by next week.

I know.

I know.

Okay.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Come on.

I have to get back to the cellar.

It's a couple time.

It felt amazing.

I needed that.

Yeah.

Well, we both deserved it.

You're a pretty good swimmer.

Seeing you almost kept up with me out there.

Sure.

You know what it was my dad had taught me?

Right before he died, actually.

I remember your dad.

Yeah, it was cool.

He'd be so proud of how you turned out.

Wish you could have seen us together.

Yeah?

You think he'd approve?

Oh, yeah.

I know he would have.

What are we doing?

Marco.

Hey.

Uh, if you're looking for the bakery, unfortunately, it closed a few months ago.

Yeah, I know.

I actually spoke to the owner.

I was daydreaming about it.

I was thinking about opening up a shop if I stayed here.

But the lease is insane, so...

Are you looking for an investor?

No.

Actually, I really want to do this on my own.

That I can understand.

Anyway, why would you want to invest in me?

We barely know each other.

I didn't say it was me.

I just... Oh, sorry.

Sorry, I just... Okay, you know what?

You know what?

It was me.

Just trying to throw my money around in a vain attempt to impress you.

That's refreshingly honest.

Oh, so it worked.

No.

No.

Okay, Lexi, look, I just... I have to say this to you.

I know that everybody in town thinks I'm like this

big Casanova, but that's not really... Marco, stop.

I just got out of a long, bad relationship.

And I lost my job in the same month.

So, I'm just not interested in dating anyone right now.

Oh.

Basically, it's not you, it's me.

Okay.

And a little bit you.

You're a little cocky for my taste.

Ouch.

You don't like being rejected, do you?

Well, that's actually what I was trying to tell you.

I mean, look, this whole swagger that I have is just...

I don't know, it's not really me.

But sometimes it's just easier to play the part, I guess.

Wow.

Getting with the honesty.

Yeah.

I hope you figure out a way to make your bakery happen.

Thanks.

I'll see you later.

Okay.

Bye.

Bye.

And then he said, see you later.

That's it?

He didn't keep pushing?

No.

Wow.

You must have shut him down pretty hard.

Not really.

I just told him something honest, and he told me something honest right back.

That's a novel concept for him.

Anyway, why would he invest in me?

He barely knows me.

Um, it might be a little bit my fault.

I have been kind of bragging on your culinary abilities for some time now.

Oh.

Yeah.

Well, thank you for that.

Hey, what's going on with the wine?

I'm still, you know, just trying some stuff.

Okay.

Yeah.

But the taste of St. Madeleine's in a week.

We can't put off telling Nate much longer.

Let's talk about Marco some more.

Nice try.

Tell him.

Okay.

Bye.

Bye.

Bye.

Bye.

Bye.

Bye.

Bye.

Bye.

Bye.

Bye.

Bye.

Wow!

It's, uh, pretty surreal seeing your name there, huh?

Surreal is one word.

Panic-inducing is another.

Actually, that's two words.

Oh!

Okay, so we are all set for two bushels of tomato Tomatoes by Friday.

All right.

I wonder if I should have made three.

Your list says two.

As you both know, your lists are very precise.

You're right.

So we are pretty much all set for our food.

We just need to confirm with the duck broker.

Duck broker, that's a weird job.

Oh, Scarborough daisies are gorgeous.

For me, how'd you know?

I am just psyched.

Did you pay for them?

I did not.

Here's what I'd like to know.

Whistle, a bag of sugar, said, Where does this look like a cloud?

And then they put it on a paper cone.

I'm pretty sure it was a dentist.

No, definitely not.

I'm always right about these things.

I will bet you $5.

You're on.

Who invented cotton candy?

A dentist.

Oh, I just love being right.

Oh, hey, they just delivered the empty bottles to the cellar, which means that we

can finally start bottling our cab, which I cannot wait to taste.

And you will.

I just need a little bit more time.

This must be perfect.

Just keep pumping your genius into those crates, and it will be.

You know, today we should probably get down to the event site and start lining up

the tents on the outer edge of the field, and we should

check to make sure that the generators are working.

And we put in the alligator wrestling pit and the

grizzly bear petting, so kids will love that one.

That would be a good idea.

Frankie, you're not listening.

Yes, I am.

I am, because you said a lot about tents, and I

feel like there is a generator and an alligator.

You said alligator.

Sorry!

Frankie!

Nate!

Hey!

How are things going at Sorrento?

Ready for the Summerfest onslaught?

As ready as we'll ever be.

How are all your wineries doing, Emma?

Oh, fantastic.

I still need more grapes to meet the man, though.

I don't suppose you'd be interested in selling Sorrento.

I'd pay top dollar.

Uh, selling Sorrento in our first year is exactly what we're trying to avoid.

Can't blame a gal for trying, hm?

You've got an outstanding property.

All the best to you both.

What is she thinking?

I would never sell her Sorrento.

We just keep doing what we're doing, and we will never have to.

Hey, thanks for coming.

Hey, Mom!

Oh, are those the new brochures featuring Sorrento?

Indeed they are.

Looks amazing.

You don't seem too happy about them.

Well, let's put it this way.

Charles paid them.

We have them printed.

That was nice of him.

Tell your dad.

Well played.

Not yet.

There you are.

I thought you might be ignoring my texts.

I was down in the wine cellar.

Running a marathon?

It was hot down there today.

Okay, well, I can check out the cooling system.

No, it's fine.

I fixed it.

Just hit it a little bit.

So what's up?

I thought maybe you could give me a hand.

I thought maybe we could try to put them up ourselves

before spending a lot of money on a set-up crew.

Good idea.

We should save as much as possible.

Yeah.

Okay.

All right.

You want to hold it here?

Yeah.

Okay.

And put this in here.

All right.

There you go.

Okay.

Get that pole.

This one?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Okay.

Okay.

All right.

Got it?

Yeah, yeah.

You got to go a little higher.

Then just keep this corner.

Hurry.

Yeah, yeah.

Push it up high.

Higher.

Higher, higher, higher.

Okay.

You're going to slip it.

Ah!

Oh.

Oh.

Hold the set-up crew.

All right.

I'll read your dialing.

Okay.

Thanks.

All right.

So I got a couple of guys that are going to come by tomorrow and help set up the tents.

Okay.

Well, between that, the equipment rental, the shuttle buses, and the security,

we're running out of money really fast.

We'll be fine.

Just as long as there's no surprises.

If there were any unanticipated expenses, we could just borrow from your mom, right?

What?

No.

No.

Look, we are hosting Summerfest.

That means that we pay the expenses.

For the tasting and the dinner.

That's just the way that it works.

Look, Nate, I understand that you want to prove yourself.

No one gets that more than I do.

But maybe this is not the time for that.

I mean, what if the wine is... This is exactly the right time.

It's just like last year when you left Baldwin Farms to buy Sorrento with me.

You had something to prove then, and you did it.

Yeah, but I haven't proven myself with Sorrento yet.

But you will.

In just a few days.

So will I.

I'll

have to come over and make me breakfast today.

I thought it would be nice to have you with me.

Let's have a little last time before the day got too hectic.

Besides, I will cook for you every day when we live together.

In this place together.

Like...

In the future.

I know what you mean.

Yeah, okay.

Mmm.

So, is breakfast every day all I get in this Sunday scenario?

Oh, no.

You also get a charming, handsome-ish, witty man by your side forever.

Sounds pretty good.

Yeah.

When does he get here?

That's not funny.

Hold on.

Hey, look, you are cramping my style.

Go get your own girlfriend.

I think it's sweet that he's jealous.

Well, look, if you don't stop, I'm going to have

to send you out to Summerfest to haul some things.

Stop it.

You'll scare him.

He's a pack animal.

He needs to earn his keep.

He does.

He's my guard llama.

And what does he guard against?

Mmm.

Handsome, charming, witty men who try to kiss me.

Yeah?

And do you really feel like you need that kind of protection?

No.

Lexi!

Hi.

Oh, hey, Marco.

I was, uh, just getting some supplies for a Summerfest booth.

Nice.

What are you up to?

Well, since Nate's doing the pairing, I called the building's owner and asked if

I could use their ovens for my Summerfest baking.

And he called back the next day and said yes.

Just got the key.

People here are so nice.

That's amazing.

I'm so happy for you.

Thanks.

Thanks.

Bye.

Bye.

Must've been the bribery.

Okay.

I told him you could have as many cookies as you want.

That's right.

Yeah.

That would do it.

Okay.

Well... Yeah.

I'll... I'll see you later.

Yeah.

I'm gonna get back to shopping, so... Okay.

Bye.

It's not working.

Hey.

Hi.

Where are you?

Oh.

I'm, uh... I'm in the wine cellar.

Would you, uh...

Would you mind coming down here?

Actually, it's...

It's kind of important.

Can I wait till after dinner?

What?

Oh, my gosh.

Dinner at your mom's house.

I am so sorry.

I don't know where my head is at today.

Just get here as soon as you can.

Bring Lexi.

Dad's already here.

I'll be tweeting.

Bye.

See you in a few.

Awesome.

Bye.

Bye.

So, that was pretty nice of the business

owner to just let Lexi use the bakery space.

Yeah.

Very.

Wow.

So, this is serious.

What?

Come on.

You're usually the first to take credit for, well, virtually anything,

and now you're pretending that you didn't go down and talk to the other... Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

Just don't say anything.

All right?

She really wants to do this on her own.

I don't want to mess it up for her.

No.

I won't say a word.

Thank you.

Hey.

Do you mind if we went somewhere and just talked for a second?

Okay, everybody.

Chicken is just about done.

If everyone would just take a seat.

All right.

In the meantime, why don't you tell us how your

preparations are coming along at Sorrentum?

Well, it is a little bit hectic, but we're going to be ready.

It is going to be a great weekend.

So, are you feeling better about it, Frankie?

It's been a little stressful.

Oh.

But I am actually enjoying the hosting part so much.

I am starting to wonder if we should even

have our own food and wine pairing this year.

Just hosting has kind of been out.

And where are we supposed to launch our first Cabernet?

Roadside stand?

I just want to devote all of the time that we have to making sure that the chefs,

the vintners, the guests want to make sure

everyone has a first-class experience, you know?

Frankie, where is this coming from?

I mean, you didn't even really want to host in the first place.

Well, clearly I was wrong about that.

Just hosting Summerfest is incredibly prestigious on its own.

I don't think we even need to release our Cabernet this year.

What?

We're getting so much buzz just off of hosting.

Can you imagine if we could just wait until next year to release our first vintage?

The kind of publicity that we would get?

I think it's a win-win.

Frankie, the whole reason why we're hosting is to shine a spotlight on our

first Cabernet since we took over Sorrento together.

Why would you not want to do that?

Oh, Frankie.

Are you sure?

Frankie.

The wine isn't ready, Nate.

It's not going to be ready in time for Summerfest.

It's probably not going to be ready this year.

Why wouldn't you tell me?

Because the timing of it was my responsibility, and I...

I was wrong.

Excuse me.

Macaroon?

Anyone?

Hey, Frankie.

Frankie.

Look, I get it.

You're unhappy with me, alright?

No, I'm not unhappy, but I am...

just a little confused.

If you were having doubts about the wine, why wouldn't you just talk to me?

Because it seemed like every other thing you could say

was about how great the wine was going to be, and I...

I just didn't have the heart to tell you that it wasn't.

Now everything's riding on it.

Look.

I know that you want everything to be perfect, but we need a wine to bottle.

A winery is only as good as this last year's

vintage, and for us it's also our first.

But we agreed from the very beginning that all

final decisions relating to the wine are mine.

Yes.

But we need a wine to sell this year, or we won't be able to make our payments.

And when our loan is due...

that's it.

I thought for sure I would be ready by now.

Well, it isn't.

I did everything I could to improve it.

It didn't work.

No one feels worse about this than I do.

You have no idea how easy you've got it, Mittens.

This is what it's come down to.

Jealous of a mama.

Well, he does have luxurious hair.

How long have you been standing there?

Hours.

I'm like a ninja.

I just got here.

Come on.

Let's go for a walk.

Sorrento isn't just a business to me.

It's our store again.

I don't want that story to end.

You think I do?

You said yourself we have no other way to stay above water.

There is one option that we haven't talked about.

What?

We sell half of our crop this fall.

Remember how Emma wanted to buy the entire place?

Well, I know she'd be happy to get her hands at least on some of our grapes.

If we do that, we'll barely have enough wine to barrel next year.

We'll cross that bridge when we get there.

As of now, our loan payment is due.

And either we sell our wine, which we don't have, or we sell our grapes.

It is what it is.

Then what?

And then, we just keep moving forward.

Hey.

Hey, Marco.

Hey.

So I guess you probably heard that Frankie and Nate

won't be releasing their cabernet this weekend.

Yeah, I know.

And they're not doing the food pairing either.

For obvious reasons.

Right.

So, I was kind of wondering if maybe you

wanted to do a dessert for the DeLuca pairing.

With Chef Jane?

Yeah, if you want.

Working with her would be a dream.

Great.

So, you're in.

I'm still not going to go out with you.

Good.

That's good.

Because I wasn't going to ask again.

Yeah, and reverse psychology isn't going to work either.

Definitely not doing that because I wouldn't even know how.

Okay.

So... So, if you don't want to date me, why are you helping me?

I like you, Lexi.

Thanks, Marco.

I like you too.

And I'm in.

I'm guessing Lexi must really appreciate everything that you've done for her.

Life-changing opportunity.

Yeah.

You know what's weird?

What's that?

I didn't even do it to try to get her to go out with me.

It just kind of felt good to help.

Oh, yeah?

Well, I hate to say it, Marco, but you're a good guy.

Huh.

So how many more of these do you need?

I don't know if my back can take much more.

We need to do another load.

Got to bring these up to the Taste of St. Madeleine site, put tabletops on them.

Ugh.

You're killing me, bro.

Oh, yeah?

What happened to the, uh, just feels good to help bit?

That only applies to Lexi.

All right.

Well, then I will buy you a beer.

Two.

You will buy me two beers.

All right.

Deal.

You know, maybe I should get out of the wine business and start making beer.

Might as well.

You can't have much wine making if you're selling off half your grapes anyway.

Actually, over the past few months, I've been experimenting

on this test row with this fertilizer I created.

It's increasing yield without compromising quality.

Yeah, pretty sure one row won't make a difference.

No, you're right.

One row won't, but... Can we just get this done?

I want that beer.

Yeah, Greg, put that in the back tent.

Uh, it was ordered, so it will be delivered shortly.

Okay, everyone.

We need all of the electric to be operational by tomorrow morning.

Thank you.

So, you want to take it down?

I just don't want to miss out on Sorrento's chance to really shine.

So, what are you saying?

You changed your mind about the Cabernet?

No.

I think I've come up with a compromise.

We use the rest of the wine that I made last year with my dad's grapes.

I mean, we were saving that for a special occasion.

It is a special occasion.

Look at us.

Sorrento's hosting two summer festivals.

Yeah.

I really want to take a look at the events.

That might not happen again.

I mean, it is not even a Sorrento wine.

So, what is the point?

It is from the Sorrento winemaker.

He puts us front and center.

He shows people what we can do.

Yeah.

You are right.

It cannot hurt.

Right?

And, uh, I think we take that deal with him and sell her half the grapes.

It will keep us afloat.

That is better than nothing.

Right.

I have to get things done.

You look happy.

I am.

You know how my fertilizer is making my test row yield so many more grapes?

Oh, you've mentioned it.

Well, I realized, since we're selling half of our grapes, why not just make the ones

that we have left more numerous and as high quality as possible?

I think that sounds like a great idea in theory,

but isn't that what your new test fertilizer is?

A theory that you're testing?

It is no longer theoretical.

It works.

And that's why I decided to spray the rest of the vineyard with it.

Wow.

Um, isn't that kind of a big decision that you should have talked to me about?

Uh, well, it's kind of like your decisions with the wine, right?

I mean, that's your area of expertise.

This is mine.

Okay.

Okay.

So Emma gets a greater yield on her half, which will make us more money,

and we'll also see an increased yield on our side.

Exactly.

Yes.

Allowing us to make more than enough Sorrento wine.

See?

Problem solved.

Seems like it.

You don't seem too happy about it.

I am.

It's great news.

Hey.

Thank you.

You okay?

Honestly, I have no idea.

You are a first-rate winemaker, Frankie.

The best I've ever seen.

Oh, don't, uh, don't tell my Mom I said that though.

I would never.

Okay.

It's going to work out, okay?

All of it.

Hey, don't you have a dessert inside?

Burning?

Something?

Go inside.

I know, I know.

Leave Lexi alone.

I got it.

Actually, I was gonna say, I really appreciate what you did for her.

I mean, hooking her up with Chef Jane, that's a huge deal.

Thank you.

Okay, Frankie, listen.

I know you're not exactly the biggest fan of mine,

especially after I broke up with your friend, but...

I mean, don't I deserve a chance to change?

To be better?

Well, sure.

I just think that that kind of change takes time.

Not if you want it bad enough.

Okay, it is time for the official Taste of St. Madeleine trial run.

I have duck confit tacos with poblano salsa and a jicama slaw.

Alright, Lexi.

Oh, thank you.

Marco.

Thank you.

So good.

Oh, good.

Come on, Lexi.

You're up.

Guys, I feel bad.

Are you sure you don't want me to make this

for the Sorrento pairing instead of DeLuca?

Miss out on your chance to impress Chef Jane?

Are you out of your mind?

No, but we do get to try it though, right?

Okay.

This is a blueberry peach tartatin with Madagascar vanilla glaze.

Looks amazing.

It really does.

Yeah.

Oh, yeah.

This is so good.

So good.

Oh, wow.

Well, Frankie.

Your turn with the wine.

Here it is.

My prize winner from last year.

Hope you all enjoy it.

Because there's not much left.

All right.

Mmm.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Enjoy it while it lasts.

I am probably never going to make something quite this good again.

Yeah, you will, Frankie.

I have no doubt.

Cheers.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh.

That's right.

I'm going to make another one.

Cheers.

Cheers.

Cheers.

Thanks.

Cheers.

Thank you.

Take it easy,öglich.

I am going to have a beer and a beer and a beer.

Okay.

Where are you going?

I'm going to the bar.

The bar in the back of your check?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Anyway, I'll take a wristband for tomorrow, though.

Oh, Jonah, you don't have to pay.

You're kind of in good with the hosts.

Yeah, but still, I heard you guys decided not to launch your vintage.

Between that and how much hosting Summerfest

is going to cost you, I'm totally paying.

Come on.

Yeah, you need to get some more wristbands for your mom.

Tell me the truth.

Is the wine really not good?

Haven't tried it yet.

You made the decision not to launch.

You haven't even tried it yet?

Why not?

Because it's Frankie.

She doesn't trust anyone with that decision but herself.

And I trust her.

It just seems like it would be something you'd want to do together.

My sister's a perfectionist.

No one's harder on herself than she is.

Sometimes maybe a little too hard.

Okay, one for you.

Thank you.

Okay, I'll see you guys tomorrow.

Okay.

I'm gonna go head back over to Sorrento, just

make sure everything's lined up for tomorrow.

Okay.

You mind manning the table?

No.

Why is it so hot in here?

This is amazing.

Why wouldn't you want a bottle of this?

No.

No, no, no, no, no, no.

Frankie!

I need to talk to you.

Nate, what did you do?

I know, I'm sorry, but I had to try it for myself.

Why did you spray the entire vineyard with this

if you weren't sure that it was gonna work?

No, no.

How did this happen?

This was supposed to work.

It was working.

This is what's happening to the test vines.

This is what's gonna happen to the entire vineyard.

This doesn't make any sense.

I went over the chemistry a hundred times.

If we lose these vines, we lose everything.

Okay, look, this is fixable, okay?

I'll take care of it, I promise, okay?

Plus, we have the new Cabernet.

No we don't.

I tried it.

When?

Just now.

And it's fantastic.

So whatever it is that you did, it worked.

I've been checking it consistently ever since I tried to accelerate the aging.

It's not working yet.

So that's why it was so hot?

Yes, but it didn't work.

It's not where I want it right now.

Frankie, I think maybe your standards are just too high.

Our standards are who we are.

I'm not gonna take a risk on that.

Why in the world you took a risk on this fertilizer?

Sorry.

Okay.

I will figure this out.

I just need a little bit of time.

So does wine.

And we are hosting the biggest event of the year in less than 24 hours.

So time is the one thing we don't have.

Do you see them yet?

They're coming up now.

Okay.

Welcome back to the Taste of St. Madeleine.

I am so glad you made it back this year.

We wouldn't miss a beat.

We certainly appreciate the coverage you each give our valance wineries.

And I think you'll find this year's host, Sorrento Farms, is doing a marvelous job.

You know we're aware they're your kids, right?

They are.

How was the drive up?

Beautiful, thank you.

Good, good.

What if she hates it?

How could she hate it?

I've had like 23 of those tarts and I'll probably have like 23 more.

But she said she's only gonna feature my dessert today if she likes it right now.

She said no trial runs.

She wants to see how I perform under pressure.

Hey.

Hey, look at me.

You got this, okay?

Really.

I'm having a little trouble reading you here, chef.

Lexi, I haven't been rendered speechless over someone else's food in years.

In a good way?

In a great way.

This is delicious.

I know you said you wanted to work for yourself and open your own bakery.

I do.

Are you sure you don't want investors?

I know, you think I'm crazy.

No, I don't.

You're independent.

How about we make a deal?

You supply my restaurants with desserts for the next year.

I would love to, but I don't have the space.

Well, if the bank sees that you're working with me, they'll give you the loan,

you can open your own shop, and I get the pastry chef that I've been looking for.

What do you think?

I think this is the best day of my life.

It's a deal.

That's great.

This is delicious.

Thank you.

Thank you so much.

No, no, no.

You did this all by yourself.

I know what you did, but you've done to help.

You gave me the chance to shine.

Well, you deserve that.

So, I know we've talked about you asking me out, but what if I asked you out?

Would you go?

Wait, is this reverse psychology?

No.

This is me moving forward.

Yes.

Yes.

Absolutely, yes.

Good.

Okay.

Let's get to work.

Okay.

Okay.

Here it is.

Hey, Emma.

How's it going?

Hey, good.

What you got cooking today?

We are pairing duck confit tacos with poblano salsa and jicama slaw.

Oh, that looks amazing, but I have to admit I'm mostly excited about the wines.

I can't wait to see what you've done with Sorrento Verona.

Great.

Especially since we're getting half of them this year.

Actually, there's been a slight change.

We are delaying Sorrento's first vintage.

What you have here is the wine that I made with the Baldwin grapes last year.

Wait, you mean this is the award-winning wine no one can find anywhere?

The very one.

Yeah.

Great.

There's not much of it left.

It's heavenly.

Thank you.

Yeah.

Thank you.

Here.

Well, wonderful.

Here.

See that?

The Cabernet we have in the cellar never could have gotten that kind of reaction.

Well, maybe if you had just tried it again.

Hey, Jonah.

You mind taking it over for me for a minute?

Yeah, yeah.

Sure.

Where are you going?

Just being a good host.

Making sure everything's running smoothly.

There you are.

So glad you like it.

That's the last of it.

It won't be available anywhere else.

We cannot do seconds.

I am so sorry.

Hey.

Hey, listen, Frankie.

Oh, hi.

Thank you.

No, but... I'll talk to you when things die down.

Okay, no, no, but I wanted to know if you could... Hi.

Um, wait.

I got it.

We just wanted to say to both of you, you've done a

wonderful job pulling Summerfest together last minute.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Of course, you really came over for the debut of your Sorrento Cabernet.

Ah, yes, absolutely.

And I must tell you before you take even one sip of that... I'll be back.

Don't say a thing.

Let the wine do the talking.

No, you don't understand.

That's not the wine that you're expecting.

Hmm.

I'm getting notes of cassis and blackberry.

Huckleberry, too.

Yes, that's exactly it.

This is superb.

I'm sorry.

I have to stop you right there.

There's been some misunderstanding.

This is not my new Cabernet.

This is... This is our new Cabernet because we are a team here.

Team Sorrento.

Isn't that right, Frankie?

Have you tried this?

Uh, no, not yet.

It's exceptional.

Really?

Wow, that's great to hear.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I... What are you doing?

I'm stopping you because what they just drank is actually our new Cabernet.

Looks like Sorrento has a winner.

Hey, hey, hey, hey, Frankie, Frankie,

Frankie, I can't believe that just happened.

What have you done?

Well, I... Okay, look, I was just... I was bringing

up the bottle for you to taste our new Cab again.

Then you started pouring it thinking it was the old one.

And it's the best mistake ever, right?

I don't believe it.

Frankie, the critics love the wine.

They love your wine.

We're all getting texts from friends following Summerfest online.

Get ready for a huge rush of people.

Well, I only pulled one bottle's worth of Sorrento's Cab.

You got corks and bottles, right?

I mean, of course.

One barrel is 300 bottles.

That should be enough for the rest of Summerfest.

Let me get you some help.

Hey, let's go.

No, no, let's go.

Let's go.

No.

Hey, Jonah, do you think you can contain the

masses until we get back with our first case?

You got it.

I'll help.

Okay.

Lexi, no.

What are you doing?

You have to stay with Chef James.

We're good.

Really good.

I'll tell you later.

We have wine to bottle.

Here it goes.

You okay?

It's really good.

I just can't believe the heat acceleration actually worked.

And it's so difficult to capture that exact moment that it's ready.

I guess I just came down at the right time.

You found the sweet spot.

Only because you got it there.

No.

I was just lucky enough to taste it.

This is all you, Frankie.

Come on.

What are we waiting for?

Let's get this to Summerfest.

All

right, everyone, listen up.

If you try to skip the wine, you go straight to the back.

Okay?

But please be patient.

Everyone will get a try.

And here they are.

Yeah.

Yeah.

You ready for this?

Well, you guys did it.

Taste of St. Madeleine was a huge success.

And your new Cabernet was such a big hit.

You must be stoked.

Yeah, we are.

And thank you so much, guys.

You helped Casarento back on track.

Hey, you don't seem so stoked.

I am.

I am.

I just...

I get it.

You're worried about the vines, but we should just be happy about today.

And I will figure out a fix for it.

We have a couple of months.

Make that.

That is it.

That is the issue right there.

Look, I thought that I had to fix the wine by myself.

You think that you have to fix the vines on your own?

We've never even considered doing those things together.

We haven't even talked about it.

Look, we said from the beginning that this was a

partnership, but it hasn't really felt like one.

It's only because I knew that you wouldn't be able

to keep things separate if something went wrong.

Do you really think that the success of our

relationship is based on the success of Casarento?

No.

I don't.

But I do think that both are based in communication and trust.

And if we don't have that, yes, I do think Casarento will fail.

Maybe so will we.

Hey, you're not even dressed yet.

Look, I'm just a little busy here, okay?

I mean, I am so close to figuring out a way to neutralize that fertilizer.

It's just... it's just not there yet.

Okay.

Well, half of St. Madeleine is about to show up for the long table dinner,

and they're going to want to see their host.

So...

Where's Frankie?

Lexi's with her.

They're up at the house.

I put way too much pressure on her.

You know?

She was so worried about disappointing me that we almost lost the rental.

I mean, we still might.

You need to fix this.

And... I mean, you two can work this out.

Look, we all know that you wanted to keep everything separate, Nate.

But why?

I mean, Sorrento is a labor of love.

Yours and Frankie's together.

Since when did you become so wise in relationships?

You haven't been in one for longer than six months.

I guess I finally realized what I've been doing wrong this whole time.

What's that?

I was making everything about me.

And not about... us.

You know, it might be genetic.

If you know what I'm saying.

Yeah.

Yeah, I know what you mean.

And I hear you.

You still gotta come to the dinner.

Right.

Right.

Okay.

Hey.

Hi.

What are you doing?

We have to start getting ready for the long table dinner.

I know, I know.

I just need five more minutes.

We really need to find a way to save our crop.

Isn't Nate in charge of the vines?

Yes, but I want help.

Then why aren't you doing it with him?

Um, we just don't do that very well.

Frankie, look.

Everything Nate did was with the best intentions.

Yes, I know that.

Me too.

But don't you see?

If you two didn't care about each other so much, neither

of you would have gone to all the trouble that you did.

You were both trying to make Sorrento better for each other.

Now you just need to learn how to do that together.

I know.

I know you're right.

Come on.

Let's go.

It's so beautiful.

You did that?

Wow.

Enjoy, okay?

Hey.

I slept with you.

It's a wonderful evening, isn't it?

As most of you probably know, Charles and I usually

like to get up at these things and take all the credit.

But this year, all the credit has to go to Nate DeLuca.

And Frankie Baldwin.

They took Summerfest from near cancellation to new heights.

So we would like to toast our hosts,

Sorrento Farm, using their incredible talent.

The incredible Cabernet Sauvignon that they created.

Frankie and Nate, come on up here.

To our hosts for giving us a Summerfest that no one will ever forget.

Thank you.

To Frankie and Nate.

To Frankie and Nate.

Say something, you guys.

Okay.

Well, tonight's dinner is not just about Sorrento.

Or me.

Or Frankie.

It's about St. Madeleine.

Everything that makes us a family.

We feel so very lucky to do what we do.

And to live here in what is absolutely the most stunning setting on Earth.

We're part of a shared history.

The soil we work, the grapes we grow.

This amazing town we live in.

And it's not just all about the wine.

Or the vines.

It's about the heart.

And as an incredible, wise, and beautiful woman once told me.

You can't have one without the other.

To Summer in St. Madeleine.

To Summer in St. Madeleine.

Let's eat.

Yeah.

You did it.

Yeah.

Yeah, you too.

So, did you find out about all the stuff that you did for her?

No.

Turns out she just likes me.

Hey, why wouldn't she?

Thanks, bro.

Yeah.

So, I thought you said you didn't want to date anyone for a while.

Well, he's not just anyone.

Lexi, I know you don't approve.

No, I was going to say I'm sorry.

He has changed.

He deserves a second chance.

So, I'm going to give him one.

Good.

You and Nate should give yourselves one too.

Look at this.

Yeah.

You pulled it off.

Frankie, I'm so sorry.

I feel like I may have ruined our entire crops.

I'm just trying to make it great.

And you almost did.

I've been working really hard trying to figure out a solution.

Hey, it's funny you should.

I wanted to mention that because I was actually thinking

last night about how to neutralize the fertilizer.

And I remembered this old trick that my grandparents used to talk about.

It's bananas.

Bananas?

Crazy ideas?

No, it's bananas.

They used to plant the peels in the soil around

the vines to build resistance to disease.

What I think we should do is just put potassium directly into the water soil.

Flush out the soil.

We can stop the deterioration.

Look, it won't reverse the damage that's done, but it's a start.

Unless once the soil is flushed, we add back the exact right percentage of

nitrogen and phosphorus, then we have both.

You had the piece that I was looking for.

No, you had the piece that I was looking for.

I think it's going to work.

You think it's going to work?

Yeah, I do.

I think it's going to work.

Okay, you know what?

Now you have to try the duck with our new Cabernet.

I guess it's time.

They're each incredible on their own, but together it's like they're...

A perfect pair.

Exactly.

Frankie, we should have been working together,

side by side, trying to make each other better.

We're spending so much time trying to impress

each other by doing our own thing, though.

We pushed away from each other.

Nate, even if we didn't have Sorrento, even if we lost it all, I wouldn't care.

As long as I have you.

I don't want to be right.

I just want what's right for us.

To the perfect pair.

I love you so much, Frankie.

I love you.
