My Secret Valentine (2018) Movie Script

New Corected Subs & New Resync

by

TIGERHAM

Now remember, Mr. Pike likes a

chilled bottle of Pinot grigio

at the table right as he sits.

Thank you!

- Hi, Laurie.

- Hey there!

Hey, things are looking great!

You know, I was thinking,

maybe we should back off

...of the Napa chard a little.

It's Oregon!

We have beautiful wines here

that need to be experienced.

Hi, Dad.

Well, this is a nice surprise.

You never call.

I hope I'm not bothering you.

Is everything OK?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I just, uh...

Look, I don't wanna

take too much of your time.

I know you're busy at work.

But I was wondering,

is there any chance

...you could get some time off

this week?

I've got some news I want

to talk to you about in person.

Dad, it's gonna be hard

for me to get away right now.

OK. That's all right.

I knew it was a long shot,

but I thought I'd take a chance.

Well, can you tell me the news over

the phone, instead of in person?

- I'd rather wait 'til you're off work.

- OK. I'll call you later, Dad.

- OK, hon. Bye.

- Bye.

"News"?

Hey. Hi, sorry.

I was just... just talking to my dad.

How is he?

You know, he wanted me to come

home but he didn't say why.

Well, when's the last time

you were home?

It's... it's been a little while.

- You must miss him.

- I do. How can I help?

In two ways:

firstly, I need you to give me

your honest opinion on this sauce.

It's for the Valentine's menu,

so it has to be perfect.

Maybe a pinch of salt,

but it's delicious. Really.

You've got the best taste

in the house after me.

Now, the next thing is... you know

the old steakhouse up the street?

Yeah, I heard it was for sale.

- Not anymore. I bought it.

- What?!

I'm opening a second restaurant!

That is...

that is so fantastic.

What do you think about...

running it for me?

- Really? As your partner?

- As my general manager.

You know, you've done

such a great job here...

...I would be crazy not to have you

manage the new place.

And there would

be a raise involved.

Maggie, I...

thank you for thinking

of me, but...

I've been your GM here

for five years.

I've gone as high as I can go

in this business outside of...

...having something of my own.

I just don't know if the investors

will go for me bringing in a partner.

Right.

No, I... I understand.

Listen, why don't you take some time...

...go and see your dad

and think about my offer?

- Good morning, team!

- Good morning!

Stratosphere Beverages

trounces the competition

when it comes to distributing

hip, inexpensive wine.

But now, it's time to prove

that we're more than trendy wine...

...and this is

how we're going to do it.

Grange Family Wines.

They've turned down every company

who's approached them in the past,

but we just scored

a meeting with them.

Grange is an award-winning

boutique winery

...that can bring us

a new level of respect.

Between their potential

and our marketing muscle,

we can make them

a global name...

if... we can get them

to say yes.

What we need is a sales rep

to go there and do the unthinkable:

convince GFW to sign with us.

- Who's in?

- I'm in.

And that's why Seth

is our number one guy.

- Any other volunteers?

- Taylor... I got this.

Looks like it's all yours.

This meeting's adjourned, I guess.

Oh, Seth?

A prestige winery like Grange will boost

our public profile beyond party wines.

- We need this.

- Yeah.

I'll lock it down in three days.

You know there's

a VP position opening soon?

You nail this deal

and it could be yours.

Did I say three? I meant two.

- Your flight leaves this afternoon.

- The sooner the better.

Grange is one of the only

wineries in the Valley

that is still owned

by the original family.

In fact, Truman Grange continues

to work with the same vines

first planted

by his grandfather.

Now, here at Grange, we like

to focus on single batches

...to ensure that every bottle

is made with thoughtfulness and care.

Chloe?

- You're home!

- Hey!

Everyone, this is Truman's daughter Chloe.

Hi. Welcome.

If you all want to head over

to the tasting room,

the other tour guide will set you up

with some complimentary tastings.

- Hi!

- What a surprise!

Are you here for

the Valentine's Day Winefest?

Wait, is that already happening?

That's right, that's this week.

How could you forget?

I mean, it's only the biggest

Valley event all year.

Well, I've been working 24/7.

I hardly remember what day it is anymore.

Well, the important thing is

you're here.

I can't believe your dad

didn't say anything!

No, actually,

I'm surprising my dad.

You know, he said he wanted

to tell me something in person.

- Do you know what it's about?

- No, he didn't mention anything

- to me at the managers meeting.

- Manager meeting?

Wait, are you managing

the winery now?

Yeah. Your dad promoted

me right after harvest.

That's amazing!

I'm so happy for you.

Thank you!

You're managing

a fancy restaurant in Portland

and I'm running

my favourite winery.

Just two old friends

living the dream!

- Yeah, living the dream.

- We have so much to catch up on!

- What are you doing right now?

- I was gonna go see my dad.

That was really

the extent of my plans.

Oh, well, he's gonna be out on runs

all afternoon.

If you wanna come with me,

I was gonna go check out the cabin.

We could catch up on the way.

Yeah, I haven't...

I haven't been out there

since my mom died.

- That was so thoughtless of me.

- No, it's OK.

It's silly of me to pretend like

it doesn't exist. I'll drive.

I'm so glad to see you!

- What's it been, like...

- Almost a year.

- Yeah!

- I know. I'm so glad to see you too.

Well, we have a whole drive for you...

...to catch me up on all

the handsome men in your life.

OK. Well, that's gonna take us to the end

of the driveway because there are none.

Here we are.

Just like you remember it?

Yeah, it was

my mom's favourite place.

We had a repairman

start work on the cabin,

but he got called away

on another job.

So it's not perfect, but...

it's getting there.

We used to spend

so much time out here.

She liked to call it

"our mother-daughter retreat".

Well, if it makes you feel better...

- ... it won't be sitting empty.

- What do you mean?

Well, with everyone coming in for the

Festival and this place being so cute...

...your dad suggested we post it

on a home rental site.

Really? I guess he didn't like

the idea of it sitting empty either.

I advertised it as rustic

and someone snapped it up.

Even though it needs repairs?

Yeah. I sent the tenant a message

through the rental site...

...telling them that it still

needed a little bit of work...

...but they were fine with it.

I hope you're OK

with someone staying here?

No, you know what, Leanne?

It's a good idea.

I'll grab a bag.

Look, I'll take care of everything

so you won't have to be bothered at all.

Thank you.

I'm glad someone else

can enjoy it.

We'll add that to the list.

Now, it's... broken.

"Welcome... to...

"our cabin.

"Things will get repaired soon.

I promise.

"In the meantime, enjoy! It may

not be perfect, but it's home".

Chloe!

I heard you were here.

Hi, Daddy!

- Hi, sweetheart!

- Hi.

Was your boss OK

with you leaving?

Yeah, she actually

insisted on it.

Well, I'm glad to hear it. You should work

somewhere where you're valued.

I should.

- How's the car running?

- It's running fine, Dad.

Good, good. You're just in time

to help me set up for dinner.

Everyone's gonna

be so excited to see you.

You are staying for dinner, right?

You don't have to turn

around and rush back to work?

I'm here for the whole week.

I wanna hear your big news.

What's going on?

Well, I'll get to it, but you have

to give a dad a chance...

...to enjoy having his daughter

home for a moment.

- It's good to see you.

- Good to see you.

Many years ago,

my lovely wife Linda

started this friends

and family dinner

to kick off the week of the

Valentine's Day Wine Festival.

So, raise your glass to Linda.

And let's give

a big welcome home to Chloe.

You are the family

in Grange Family Wines.

Thanks, Dad.

- Cheers.

To a lovely night.

I suppose that this is

the best time to tell you...

...that this will be my last Festival.

It's time for me to retire and turn

the winery over to some new blood.

Don't look shocked. It's time.

- Way to bury the lead, Truman.

- Ignore my husband. Congratulations.

- Thank you.

- So, what are your plans?

There's plenty of time

to talk about that.

Let's just eat while it's still hot.

Dig in, everyone.

- Carrots?

- Thanks.

So, when did you

decide to retire?

Actually...

it was your mom's idea.

She didn't want me here alone.

- But I thought you loved it.

- I do!

But it's not the same without her,

and... well,

I'm not getting any younger.

So, what's gonna

happen to the winery?

Hey...

have you tried this chard?

- It's young, but the pear notes...

- Dad...

I may have agreed to a meeting

with a wine company.

You what?!

You were always the one

that said we shouldn't sell out...

...that we'd lose our integrity.

Dad, I'm sure there are other options.

Leanne!

Sell the winery to Leanne,

not just some random company!

We don't have to sell, but...

we should hear them out.

Dad, please let me be

a part of this at least.

I just don't want some slick salesman

coming in here and taking advantage of you.

Sure, of course.

Thanks.

So, what's the name of this...

...this company

that we have to hear out?

- Stratosphere.

- Stratosphere?

Dad, the boxed wine people?

This is the worst.

Where's a guy supposed to eat

around here? Everything's closed.

This is a bad idea.

I can help you with that.

- There you go.

- Thanks.

Looks like we both found

the only place that's open.

What brings you here?

It's the only place that's open.

And I'm...

I'm stress-snacking. Yeah. You?

I'm starving-snacking.

Well, I mean, if you...

...if you need some suggestions,

I do highly recommend the popcorn...

...'cause it...

it just pairs so great with...

- Chocolate.

- Yes.

It's a perfect combination

of sweet and salty.

That's what I always say.

- That's a subtle hint?

- It's probably past their bedtime. Me too.

Maybe I'll see you in the

popcorn aisle some other time.

I hope so.

- Happy snacking.

- You too.

- Thanks.

- Did you find everything?

- That's gonna be... $3.75.

- Oh, great. Thank you.

Got a bag?

OK, you guys make loading cases

actually look fun.

Every day here is different.

What could be more fun than that?

- What's your hurry?

- What? Why are you...

What are you... what are you...

what are you doing?

You just got into town.

Why don't you take a "me" day, hmm?

Maybe check out that mud spa

down the road, get some shopping in?

Why are you acting so weird?

The wine rep is here.

- Wait, now?

- He's with your dad.

Then I... I guess I...

I should go meet him.

- You don't mind him being here?

- No.

My dad feels strongly

about taking this meeting.

I want to respect that.

Hey, what was that look?

Nothing! I just thought you'd be

bothered by a company taking over.

Nothing's been decided.

It's just a meeting.

You know, when you said you

were meeting with a wine company,

I didn't know you meant right now.

Where is this sales guy?

He's right here.

Snack guy?

Also known as Seth Anderson.

Chloe Grange,

but you probably guessed that.

It's good to see you again.

- Do you two know each other?

- Kind of.

- No.

- Well, that cleared things up.

So your dad was just saying how you

want to protect him from people like me.

She thinks I'm a little too old

to make decisions on my own.

No, Dad, I don't think that.

This is a big deal and I just...

I do think that two opinions

are better than one.

And you think I'm gonna

take advantage. I get it.

I guess you play the bad cop

to your dad's good cop?

No, I'm not the bad cop.

Is that part

of your sales pitch?

What, there's no...

"Your wine is so special.

The world should know you.

We're the only ones who get you".

- I was... I was gonna get to that.

- I know your type.

You're gonna swoop in here

and think you can just dazzle

the small town folks with your

confidence and your false flattery.

Let me guess. You gave yourself three

days to close this deal. Am I right?

- Two!

- Does that work where you're from?

New York. And sometimes.

Well, Mr. Anderson, you are gonna

have to work a whole lot harder...

...if you wanna

be taken seriously here.

It's good to see you too.

- I think that went really well.

- I'll show you around.

- I was coming to save you.

- Go, go, go, go, go!

- He's handsome.

- He is not handsome!

He is the enemy!

Not that I noticed his looks.

Sure you didn't. So listen,

I need a favour.

He practically admitted

that his just showing up...

...would be enough to make us sell.

I got an email on the house

rental site from the new tenant...

You know what?

I bet he doesn't even like wine.

Wait, I'm sorry. Email?

What were you saying?

About some repairs

that are needed on the cabin.

Yeah, but I thought

you sold it as "rustic".

I did, but I guess the tenant

found it a little too rustic.

So if you wanna fill in

for me in the tasting room,

I could head over to the cabin,

see what the problem is?

You know what? No.

Let me go to the cabin.

- Are you sure?

- Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I don't want this sales guy

thinking I'm too available.

I wanna let him

sweat it out a little.

Hello?

It's, it's...

your landlord, I guess.

Hello?

I'm inside, so...

I just didn't wanna surprise you

if you're here.

And if you're not, then I'm

talking to myself, so never mind.

"There's a lot of downtime

in the country,

"so I decided to help out

and fix stuff.

"I hope that's OK.

Handyman".

- Thank you.

- Do you need a bag?

- I don't need a bag for that.

- All right. Bye bye!

Great.

All right.

Taylor! Reception

is pretty bad here.

So, I met with the family today.

Look...

it's...

...gonna be a bit trickier

than I thought,

...but...

...I'm confident

we'll make the sale.

You should probably start

getting my VP plaque ready.

Look, I don't know if you're

getting any of this, so...

I'm gonna let you go.

Bye bye.

What's this?

Yeah! Love these.

This is great!

"You are my hero, handyman.

Thank you!

In Need of Repairs".

I'm your hero, huh?

OK.

Well, then...

I'll be your hero.

Hey, Dad.

Hey.

Boy, you sure weren't

easy on Seth today.

Yeah, well, he needs to know

that we aren't pushovers.

I think he got that.

So, how's everything at work?

It's fine.

"It's fine".

You used to say,

"It's great! It's awesome!

It's the best job

in the world, Dad!"

I don't know.

I've just been feeling like...

maybe there's

something else out there.

Maybe I need a change.

You know what I mean?

You're talking

to a future retiree.

Look what I found.

This was our first

Wine Festival!

Dad, what if...

what if we recreated the original

Grange booth for the festival?

I mean, this might be

our last festival,

so what if we...

what if we did this again?

I don't know if people would

appreciate something so simple.

Come on! I wanna do this.

Let me do this for you.

I'd be honoured.

Great.

It'll be the best booth

at the festival.

- Promise.

- OK.

All right, In Need of Repairs...

any suggestions

... on how to entertain myself?

That's right.

Suggestion taken.

Morning!

Bear claw? I know it's not

popcorn and chocolate, but...

- ... it's a close second.

- What are you really doing here?

I knew you were an early riser,

so I thought I'd join you.

No, I mean

what are you doing here.

Do you... do you realize that this winery

has been in my family for 60 years?

Do you have any idea

what this means to us,

or is this just another deal

you have to close?

Don't judge me so quickly!

I might surprise you.

Really? Then surprise me.

OK. How about this?

See that tall tree over there?

That's an Oregon white oak.

Right next to it,

that's a western white pine.

Great for Christmas trees.

Are you reading this off

of some sort of tree app?

I was a divorce kid.

My mom moved to the city and

my dad stayed in the country.

We used to go camping

all the time.

All right, all right. I'll...

I'll give you that.

Look, I might not know much

about high-end wines, all right?

Yeah, that's shocking.

But I know a good story

when I see one, and...

I'm really good at my job.

You know what? Being charming is not

the same thing as being good at your job.

You think I'm charming?

I...

Don't forget your bear claw.

I'm taking this as breakfast...

not a bribe.

And you know what?

I'm not your tour guide.

Stop following me around.

Hey.

I saw you and Seth

in the vineyard earlier.

- Do you need to talk?

- Nope.

Nope, neither do I.

Talking is so overrated.

Hey, do you mind helping me

with the booth for the festival?

Of course!

It'll be like old times.

- Yeah.

- Knock knock.

- Are you still following me?

- Thanks for the coffee, Seth.

- Thank you.

- No problem.

You look like you could

use this more than I could.

No. No, thank you.

It's all the quiet.

I can't sleep at night.

I need to show you something.

Come with me.

I think we're

supposed to follow.

OK.

So, since my charm isn't working...

...I figured I'd show you how your business

would grow once our company took over.

We did a five-year forecast

with in-depth analytics.

We have an amazing team in place

that will take over all day-to-day

operations from your dad,

and your current employees

can stay on board if they like.

This includes an enhanced benefits

package and a pay increase.

This is...

...this is a really great deal.

This is a family winery.

It's not about daily operations

and honestly, my dad would be

very unhappy with someone here

who doesn't

understand what we do.

You know what? You're right.

You're right. That's why...

I get to know people on a personal level

before going into business with them.

I mean, we wanna build

something special. Grow together.

This is...

this is my, my boss.

- I should probably get this.

- Yeah.

Taylor. Hey.

This is a really good deal.

Someone's gonna have to give your dad

a really good reason to turn this down.

Hey, Taylor.

Are you any closer

to this deal yet?

The dad's warming up to it, but

the daughter is playing hardball.

Listen, you need to figure this out

if you wanna be considered for VP.

- I know I do.

- Well then, do what you do best.

Convince Grange to sell.

Hey, don't worry. I got this.

What is he doing out there?

Do you think

he's posing the cane?

He's pruning the vines.

He's good.

He's good all right.

We wondered where you'd gone.

Are you pursuing

a new career path now?

Why don't you join in?

Start pruning?

You're having fun with this, huh?

Well, you said you wouldn't sell to

somebody that didn't know the business.

So, I'm getting to know

the business...

...from the ground up.

Look at this!

I wouldn't do that

if I were you.

It's OK.

I love my grapes... tart.

You can spit it out.

Looks like I'm the tour guide now.

That's highly unlikely.

Better watch out, you're

getting your shoes dirty.

It's OK. I love the dirt.

I embrace the earth.

I'm at one with the vines!

- So, how's your buddy doing?

- Seth is fine.

Come on, this sign

isn't gonna paint itself.

- All right.

- OK, the manual labour's a little overkill.

It reminds me of when I was back in college,

working on the construction site.

You know, the more you do,

the more I kind of just wanna

say no to you out of spite.

I can't help it. I've got a blue collar

underneath this white one.

Really? That's weird.

All I see is a stuffed shirt.

- Excuse me. I'm trying to work here.

- Yeah, you can go there.

OK. Thank you.

Thank you.

Come on.

He's just... unbelievable.

You know what?

I don't think he even wants

to buy the winery.

I think he just wants

to drive me crazy.

He's out there on a tractor

with my dad, Leanne.

Well, you gotta give him

points for trying.

No. I don't

have to give him anything.

What's your dad gonna do?

Do you think he should sell?

I don't know.

Maybe it's the right thing to do...

...'cause who else is gonna run

this place?

But... there's just something

about it doesn't feel right.

You're talking about Seth?

No, he's just doing his job in

the most aggravating way possible.

It's made a real

impression on you.

What? No! No way.

No impressions are being made

whatsoever... on me.

- Excuse me?

- I'll get this.

Oh, no. I'll do it.

- Hello.

- Hi. What a great choice.

This is our five-year-old

Cab Fanc.

The medium body and high acidity

make it a beautiful wine

...to pair with tomato

and barbecue sauces.

I love this wine

because the more you drink it,

the more it reveals

itself to you.

You'll notice the plum and

strawberry notes upfront,

followed by

a slightly spicy side,

but you can't

give up on it, because...

you'll miss

the chocolate finish.

This wine is definitely not

for the impatient.

You really have to...

to work to fully appreciate it,

which is why it's one

of my absolute favourites.

- You should try it with the cheese.

- Thank you!

I forgot how good

you are at this.

- No. I'm rusty.

- It didn't sound that way.

Thanks. It was kind of fun, actually,

to talk about our wine again.

You ever thought

about taking over the winery?

Me? No.

No, my... my dad would

never go for that.

Growing up, he was always...

pushing me to go out

and find what I love.

What if what you love

is right here?

The plumber's

on his way to the cabin.

- Is everything OK?

- Yeah, I just gotta go let him in.

The tenant

left a message about a leak.

- Well, I'll go.

- Really?

Yeah. Yeah, I'll go.

Otherwise, I have to stay here and

hang out with my new best friend, Seth.

- Point taken.

- Yeah. I'll be back.

Have fun.

OK, so the kitchen's just here.

"There's something comforting

about a creaky house.

You never feel alone".

It's like you're in my head.

- Did you say something?

- No. Sorry.

Sorry. So, what's

the damage down there?

Nothing major.

Just a loose-fitting.

- I'll be done here in a second.

- Great.

I did find this...

tucked way back behind the sink.

My mom made this clock.

I'd wondered where it'd gone.

It's got a little water damage,

but with some luck,

you'll get it working again.

Thanks.

"Have you thought more about

my offer? Enjoy your break".

I'm all done.

Any more problems, give me a call.

Great.

Thank you so much.

- Hello.

- Hi.

What can I get for you?

I'll do the...

the rib dinner, please.

And could you switch out

the mashed potatoes for a kale salad?

I could, but not here.

OK.

- I guess I'll just take it as it comes.

- Excellent.

And do you have a microbrew list?

This is wine country, honey.

There's no microbeer here.

We have wine and more wine.

All right. Well, then I...

I guess I'll...

I'll do the Grange Pinot noir.

Well, I think that's a good choice.

Welcome to town.

- It's that obvious, huh?

- Yeah.

I hear you've been

going out to the cabin.

Well, Leanne sure is...

chatty today.

You know, that was

your mom's happy place.

I know she wanted it

to be the same for you.

I miss her.

I do too.

I see her in you

more and more every day.

You have her eyes.

You've always...

always said that.

And her feisty streak.

And that.

You know...

she made me want to be

a better man every single day.

I know you'll find that

in someone too.

Is Valentine's Day

making you sappy, Dad?

I'd just like everyone to be happy.

Seth wants to work

alongside you tomorrow.

You have gotta

stop giving him attention.

You're making him so much worse.

I had fun with him today.

And...

it's been a long time since I got

to show someone the ropes.

He's actually a fast learner.

Dad, I think you're forgetting

he wants to buy the winery.

Chloe... I'm not making

this decision lightly.

Dad, I know you're not, but...

And I do appreciate

that he's making an effort

to get to know the winery.

And I need you to at least

pretend to appreciate that too.

Believe it or not...

I do.

Good.

You should...

you should tell your tractor buddy

to wear different clothes tomorrow.

OK.

Thanks Nancy.

I'll see you tomorrow.

Save me a piece of that pie, OK?

What, just a piece?

I'm gonna make a whole pie, just for you.

You're the best.

"Any chance you know how to make

a sentimental cuckoo clock

"cuckoo once more?

Thanks, In Need of Repairs".

Yeah... yeah, I can do that.

Let me get that for you!

You weren't gonna

leave without me, were you?

What? No.

Why would I do that?

Your companionship

is all I dream about.

- So you're dreaming of me now?

- What? No.

No, that... No.

How do I look?

Like you... you robbed

a mannequin at the Boot Barn.

I'll pretend

that's a compliment.

OK, listen. I'm delivering cases

to our loyal customers today, so just...

please stay out of my way

and let me do my job.

- You won't even know I'm here.

- Really?

- Yeah!

- OK.

Does GFW always hand-deliver?

You know, there's companies

that do this for you.

Wait, GFW?

- Grange Family Winery, GFW?

- OK. Don't ever say that again.

Say what?

GFW? GF... W?

OK. I will pull this truck over!

To answer your question,

the vendors are more likely

to sell our wine

if a personal relationship

is established.

You know, it's something

called customer service.

Maybe they don't have

that where you're from.

You can't resist a jab, can you?

It's not personal. I'd be like this

with anyone from your business.

- Oh, no, let me get that for you!

- Oh, no, I got it. Thanks.

Now listen, these are

long-time customers,

...so there is no need

for you to say a word.

Never crossed my mind.

- Hi!

- Chloe Grange!

God, I haven't seen you in ages!

Hey, I hear your dad

might be selling the winery?

Well, we'll see.

I thought you might want

a bonus case for Festival week.

You're a mind reader!

Your Pinot is the best seller in the house.

- That's great news!

- Who's your friend?

Him? He's a...

...he's an exchange student...

from Finland.

Yeah.

Doesn't speak English.

Good job! Yeah. He's new.

Let's go.

We're gonna go now, Seth.

OK. Take care!

Danke!

- You speak Finnish?

- No! But neither did she.

All right, what's next?

OK.

Wait, wait, wait. No, wait.

Where is his order?

Need some help?

No. I have a system.

You wouldn't understand it.

I've got a system too.

It's called a smartphone.

I like to write stuff down because it

actually helps me remember it better.

Plus, I don't wanna have

my head in my phone all day.

I'm sorry, what?

What? What did you say?

That's very funny.

Here it is.

OK.

Yeah. OK.

All right. You have

a product he needs.

He needs you more than you need him.

You have a product he needs, and

he needs you more than you need him.

What's wrong? You OK?

No, it's... it's this owner.

He has the most successful

restaurant in town.

He never buys from us.

My dad has tried for years.

Wait here.

This is our

special edition blend.

You'll be the first restaurant

in the Valley to have it.

My customers expect

something nuanced.

It's a complex blend. It's a...

Cab Fanc, petite Bordeaux.

Well, I'll be!

Is this the Grange blend?

I've been huntin' this down

ever since the blind tasting in Lyon.

Lyon?

You know, some people prefer Paris, but...

you give me Lyon any day.

What blind tasting?

I was just there last month.

I didn't hear about this.

It was invite only.

You know, for top collectors.

- Yeah.

- You're a collector?

I'm a buyer for private

collections only.

Yeah, there's a lot

of money in Texas oil.

They just need a little help with taste...

if you know what I mean, pretty lady?

- Yeah. Sure.

- Yeah. So who are you?

I own this restaurant.

Well...

in that glass sits the wine that beat out

wines from Bordeaux and the Rhone region.

My top collector friends would flock

to any place that carries it.

Yeah. You know, maybe now

that it's had a little time to breathe,

you could give it another taste.

It does have the complexity

of a Bordeaux.

- It just needed to breathe.

- You're absolutely right.

Well, you know, let's cut to the chase here.

How do I get an entire case of this?

You know... I'm so sorry.

I think you're out of luck...

...'cause he was just about to buy

both of the cases I have with me.

Oh, come on, buddy! I mean,

you can't spare a few bottles?

I have a long-running relationship

with Chloe's father's winery.

I wouldn't want to do that to her.

All right, all right.

I know when I've been beat.

So sorry.

Well, you know...

you win some, you lose some.

Look, your place might need

a little help with the decor,

but... I'll be back with

some of my friends, all right?

Have a few of these bottles.

You have a good one, pal.

Bye. Take care. OK.

OK, good.

Thanks again!

That was amazing.

That was amazing!

Wait, a blind tasting? Where

do you come up with this stuff?

I read about it online.

I didn't do anything.

I just set you up.

- You closed it. Two cases!

- I know, right? Two cases!

I didn't think he'd buy a bottle,

not to mention two cases!

Thank you!

Really, thank you so, so much.

No problem.

Your accent was overkill, though.

What?!

I've been working on that accent, OK?

I thought my Texas accent was

actually better than my Finnish.

OK.

You hungry?

- Yeah, I kind of am.

- Yeah, me too.

I got an idea.

Why don't you keep working and

I'll go grab us something, OK?

- Really?

- Yeah!

OK, great!

- Yeah, it looks like a good

place over there. All right?

All right. Thanks.

Any requests?

I'm... I'm not picky.

Anything.

You're not gonna

leave me, are you?

I would never.

Maybe.

I might.

I'm watching you!

No, I won't.

- Hey! Are you gonna be at the festival?

- Hey! How are you. We'll be there.

See you then.

Hey!

That place was great.

I got some awesome stuff to eat.

Tnx so much for doing that.

What's going on?

I just got text from Leanne, it looks like

they putting us in some... corner at the festival

I'm just working so hard to make it special

for my dad, and they wone just hack us away.

Where'd you wanna be?

I wonna be in the center of all.

Just like we were last year.

I don't wanna be near

the garbage cans.

OK.

Let's fix it.

Really?

What do you planning?

Come on! let's go.

OK

Let's see where you are.

O! Here it is.

This is terrible. No-one are

gonna be able to see us from, back here.

You know, what?

I have an idea.

Here.

Let's bring this over here.

Yes, but people are going to know.

Not tommorow. You just...

casually set up...

like you were

supposed to be in this spot.

It's for a good cause.

OK. This is much

better. Thank you.

All Right.

Now I'm hungry. Let's eat.

What's your last time

you were on a picnic?

Honestly, can't remember

last time I had a picnic.

It's kind of cold,

maybe we should eat something out?

We have to

celebrate those two cases.

O yeah.

We have to.

You know, we have all

that good food in the car. Why won't we...

Follow me.

I have an idea.

This is a much more fun,

then in the picnic.

And a lot less windy.

You're in for a treat.

This is the perfect bite.

What do you think?

That it's delicious.

Who are you?

What do you mean?

You blow into town with your...

your city swagger...

and your car salesman ways

and then...

...and then you do all this.

I can't figure you out.

Why don't we stop talking

about business? All right?

I just,

I never get a chance to relax.

You know what?

You're right. Neither do I.

This little picnic would

be delicious with a...

...a bottle of our Cab Fanc.

- Have you tried it?

- Yeah. It's good.

"It's good"? "Good"?

Yeah, it's really...

it's really good.

It's... fruity.

"Fruity"?

I'm sorry.

How do you...

how do you actually work for a

wine company and not know wine?

I focus on the entire wine experience.

- OK? Not just the taste.

- Right.

For example, at Stratosphere,

we're known for making

boxed wine cool again.

Boxed wine was never cool.

That's just...

That's very funny.

You might be Truman's daughter...

...but...

I think there's a lot more to you.

Who wouldn't wanna live here,

honestly, and talk about wine all day?

I'm jealous.

I grew up with crowded sidewalks

and concrete parks.

Yeah, but what about

your camping trips?

Those stopped when I was 15,

after my dad died.

I traded...

life in as a good old boy

to be a full-time city kid.

Seth, I'm sorry.

I didn't know about your dad.

Oh, no. It made me

who I am today.

Now I just work as hard as I can

to be as successful

as I can possibly be.

Success can...

can be protective,

but is it really fulfilling?

Well... what do you

think fulfilling is?

Being passionate about what

you create and not selling out.

You know, I just never had a...

...family business

to fall back on, I guess.

I...

you know, just because my family

started this,

it doesn't mean I haven't

had to work incredibly hard.

And... don't you ever...

doesn't it ever bother you that...

you come in and you just buy out

the thing that people have

put their heart and souls into?

Actually, people...

thank me for allowing them to grow far more

than they ever could have imagined.

Chloe, do you think I'm...

I'm coming in and trying to take

everything away from you?

Because I'm...

I'm just doing my job.

See, that's what...

That's what worries me.

We should probably...

- Sorry, we should probably go.

- Yeah.

I love it here.

- Hey... are you OK?

- Yeah. Yeah, everything's fine.

Thanks for today.

No problem.

- Let me.

- No, I... I got it.

Really, I'm fine.

No problem.

- See you after.

- OK.

"Your bill is racking up".

OK.

"Does your handyman experience cover

advice on dealing with a jerk at work?"

"Hello. I find that the best jerk

repellant is doing the unexpected.

"Instead of fighting back, smile.

"The jerk is only a jerk

if you let him get to you".

Chloe, I need your opinion.

I was thinking two reds and a white

for our Festival booth, but... which ones?

- I think...

- Well, here's a thought.

For the launch of our new canned

spritzer, we would do "freefills".

So, for every two cases we sold,

we'd give one for free.

Or we're so confident the product would

sell, we'd just give it on consignment.

Or not?

Yeah...

You know, to answer your question,

I was thinking that we should do

a cab, a Pinot noir for the red,

and then a... and then for the white...

Why don't we do rose?

Do a rose for the white.

Yeah, that's just

what I was gonna say.

- Good!

- Good idea.

- Thank you.

- I need to talk to you.

- Come here.

- Yeah. So good.

Are you, feeling OK?

What's with this smile?

Yeah.

I just, I read that, you know...

...when dealing with someone

like Seth, it just helps to smile.

It makes you seem

a little crazy, but...

It's OK. Why don't we cover

this up and if you don't mind,

I'm gonna go... drop

something off at the cabin.

OK. Don't forget

we're having dinner tonight.

"I smiled...

"until...

...my cheeks hurt".

Is it just me, or have your

cabin visits made you extra giddy?

I don't know

what you're talking about.

You're blushing!

What's going on?

It's Handyman. Well, that's

what the tenant calls himself.

- You've met him?

- No, not in person.

OK. Explain please?

OK, so he just took it upon himself

to start fixing things around the cabin

and that led to us leaving

these messages for each other.

- Like... flirty messages?

- Kind of...

- And you know nothing about him?

- Nothing.

I was hoping you did, since you

handled the reservation and the emails.

I don't even have a name. All the

details went through the home rental site.

Does anyone else know

about your cabin crush?

It's not a crush, it's just...

entertainment.

Although, I was thinking...

...that maybe it's someone

that's in town for the Festival,

'cause all the locals

know about the cabin.

It's a small town and

the tourists are easy to spot,

so our list of potential Handymen

is already narrowed down.

So if we wanted to maybe

figure out who it was...

If we did...

you know who's new in town?

Seth.

No.

This guy is... is helpful

and funny and fixes things.

It's definitely not Seth.

- Dinner's almost ready, girls!

- OK. We search the emails?

Yes. First thing

tomorrow morning.

OK. Now, most people

post their own profile picture,

...while other people post pictures

of their dogs or maybe a movie character.

Our profile picture

is of wine grapes.

- Makes sense.

- I thought so.

- Who's Leo?

- That's us.

Leanne, Chloe. Leo.

I know you like to keep things privet.

so I didn't use our real names.

- Very clever, Leo.

- I thought so, Leo.

Now, our tenant went with

the more elusive sunset photo,

and for their profile name,

the cryptic T and S.

And there's nothing

in the emails they sent?

- There's no clues there?

- There's a phone number.

Call it.

Hello?

A woman!

Hello?

I'm away from my desk right now.

Please leave a message

and I'll get back to you.

Have a nice day.

We can't leave a message.

What would we possibly say?

I thought Handyman was a guy.

I mean, Handyman has to be a guy!

There... I've seen

his man's deodorant.

There's nothing lying around

the cabin that says female.

Maybe he's got a wife

or a girlfriend.

And he didn't bring her

to the adorable, rustic cabin

on Valentine's day weekend?

There's nothing there, I'm telling

you, that says romantic getaway.

Maybe he's so important he has

his assistant book everything.

Well, there's only one way

for us to find out.

OK.

Fruity?

No, that's not specific enough.

Raspberry...

Man!

How does she know the difference

between black pepper and white pepper?

I didn't even know

there was a difference!

"Some thoughts

on your jerk co-worker.

"First impressions don't

have to be last impressions.

Sometimes, we try too hard when

we are outside of our comfort zone".

This is an emergency!

I told Handyman we should meet.

OK...

Where to begin? You...

you want to meet

Handyman because...

Because I... I...

because there's a reason

I have a crush

on this complete stranger

who calls himself Handyman.

I just... I have to meet him

and figure it out.

OK...

...makes sense, considering.

So, what's the plan?

I asked him if we could meet tomorrow

at the Main Street Tavern at 2pm.

How romance-novel of you.

It's really corny,

I know, but...

I blame the messages.

Yeah.

Well... good luck.

"I think it's time we meet.

"I'd like to thank you in person

for all you've done.

"Main Street Tavern,

2pm tomorrow.

I'll be the one

ordering the Grange Cab Fanc".

OK.

- Are you going in here?

- I am.

- OK. Go ahead.

- Please, go in.

- I insist. Really, you should.

- I'm sure. Please, go ahead.

I'm gonna go, otherwise

we're gonna be here forever.

So, I'm, I'm just gonna

go sit over here now.

- OK?

- OK. Yeah. I'm...

I'm gonna sit right here.

See you later, I guess.

- Hi. Something to drink?

- Hi.

I'll have a glass of

the Grange Cab Fanc, please.

Right away.

It can't be...

- And here we are.

- Thank you so much.

You're welcome.

Hey.

- Hi.

- Late lunch?

No, I'm meeting someone.

A... secret valentine?

Hold on. Wait, wait.

Don't tell me. You...

You're meeting

with another buyer?

- 'Cause that'd hurt my feelings.

- Very funny.

Why don't I keep you company

while you wait?

No, no, no! How about you

just let me sit here in peace?

- Hi. Something to drink?

- Hi. Yeah, I'll do the...

- ... what are you drinking?

- The Grange Cab Fanc.

The Grange Cab Fanc,

that sounds perfect.

- I will do that, please.

- Great choice.

This must be a pretty

important person...

...by the way you keep looking

back at the door.

Why do you care?

Why are you here?

I'm here because...

I've eaten at all the

restaurants in town,

and I haven't tried this place yet.

Heard it was good.

OK, look.

My guest is...

is expecting to meet me alone,

so if you could

just eat your food at the bar,

or maybe another restaurant?

- You know, it's so comfortable here.

- And here we are.

- Thank you very much.

- You're welcome.

Very comfortable.

You're really enjoying this,

aren't you?

This person must be pretty interesting

for you to be dressed up like that.

- You look really nice.

- Thank you.

You too.

Thank you.

Interesting, but...

not punctual.

So you're not meeting

a secret valentine,

...and you're not meeting

another buyer, so...

...who...

who are you meeting?

Fine. If I tell you,

will you just go away?

Cross my heart.

OK.

I can't believe this.

My family has a cabin.

...It's... actually a place that my mom

spent a lot of time before she...

...before she passed.

I'm so sorry to hear that.

I had no idea.

And here I was

going on about my dad.

No, I'm glad you told me that.

Anyway...

I have this pen-pal friendship

with the tenant who's staying there.

He calls himself Handyman.

That's all I know.

"Handyman"?

OK.

What do you call yourself?

In Need of Repairs.

OK. So you and Handyman,

you're...

...you're exchanging notes?

Yes, but it's no big deal!

I just want to meet him

so I can say thank you...

...for everything he's done

around the cabin.

Yeah.

I hope he's getting a discount.

OK, fine. Go ahead

and make fun.

I'm not making fun! I...

I think... I think it's nice.

He's lucky.

Well, it obviously doesn't

matter, because he's...

he's clearly not showing up.

You know, maybe he...

maybe he doesn't think he's

good enough, and he backed out.

You know? Or...

...maybe he's hiding in plain sight.

You know? He...

What if he's that guy,

right there?

He just needed some courage,

you know?

Like, a lot of courage.

Four glasses of courage.

- What are you doing?

- I'm being your wingman.

What about that guy?

Oh, no. That guy clearly

builds robot sculptures...

...from objects found in his kitchen.

That's oddly specific.

And what about that guy?

He lives with his mom.

What about that guy?

A hipster?! Really?

You deserve better than that.

Listen, I... I just

have to say thank you

for making being stood up

so much fun.

That's what a wingman is for.

Thanks.

I should probably go...

...'cause I gotta make sure

everything's set for the Festival.

- But will I see you there?

- I wouldn't miss it.

Take care.

So, how'd it go?

Is he cute? Tell me everything.

He didn't show.

- Then why are you smiling?

- I didn't realize I was.

You were gone for a long time.

What were you doing instead?

I ran into Seth.

Seth? Like, the Seth

you hate, Seth?

Like the Seth I...

I may hate a little less

than before.

- Huh...

- No. No "huh".

There's no "huh".

There's nothing to "huh" about.

And you're not at all curious

about what happened to Handyman?

- Why? Was there another message?

- Nothing today.

Well, then, I guess there's

really nothing to be curious about.

Hey, Taylor.

You gonna come join us?

I got a chocolate meringue pie

with your name on it.

You're just trying

to fatten me up, Nancy.

- Hi, Seth!

- Hey. Hi. How are you?

Seth... Seth?

Are you still there?

Yes. Yeah, I am still here. Sorry.

I just found a place with reception.

And... pie, apparently.

What's the holdup, Seth?

We need you back here

with those contracts signed.

Well, I gotta stay one more day.

The Valentine's Wine Festival is tomorrow.

It's the biggest event in town.

If we're gonna buy the company,

...we need to to understand

all aspects of the business, right?

What happened to two days?

It isn't like you to take so long.

She's just been

more challenging than expected.

"She"?

I meant Grange.

We need this winery,

and if you want that promotion,

...you need this winery, Seth.

So... get it done.

All right, Taylor.

I'll let you get back

to what you were doing.

Nice chatting with you.

OK, close your eyes.

Come on, cover your eyes!

I want it to be a surprise.

- OK, OK.

- OK. Just walk straight.

- Hi, Chloe!

- Hey! How are you?

Good to see you. OK.

Keep walking straight.

No peeking, Dad! No peeking.

- Are you peeking?

- No, I'm not peeking!

- I can't see anything!

- Right. Sorry about that. OK.

To the right! To the right!

Go straight!

OK, you can open your eyes.

- Ta-da!

- Chloe!

Don't you think Mom

would've loved it?

Mom would be so happy.

Thank you.

Hi, Maggie.

How was dinner service?

Super smooth! The menu was a hit,

but that is not why I'm calling.

Guess what?

I thought about what you said

and I talked to my investors,

and they agreed to back me

with you on board as a partner!

Wait, they did?

I told them

how invaluable you are!

It's yours

if you still want it.

That happened fast.

Hey, listen. I gotta jump off.

I'll email you the

details tomorrow. Bye!

All right. Bye.

- Morning.

- How are you?

- I'm good. Good.

It's that time, huh?

Yeah...

I guess so.

You ever been fishing, Seth?

You know, I never

make an important decision

without coming out

in the water first.

I even proposed to Chloe's

mother on a fishing trip.

You're a natural.

I never expected that from you.

I've been getting in touch

with my country boy side...

...ever since I got here.

There doesn't seem

to be anything biting today.

I think they can

smell the city on you.

Why don't you leave

those contracts with me,

and I'll give you my decision

by the end of the day?

You don't need

a little more time?

"More time"?

I took you as a dealmaker with

a sharper right hook than that.

You know, I used to have one...

Lately, I don't know

where that guy went.

You shouldn't be spending

Valentine's Day with an old man.

Let's get you out of here so you

can check out the Festival.

Chloe's there,

in case you were wondering.

- Let us know what you think.

- OK.

- We will. Thank you.

- Take care.

Look at this.

- Hey, guys!

- Hello.

Hi! What do you think of our

little Festival?

- Does it stack up to

your big city events?

Well, I just got here, but, it looks like

it stacks up to all the big city festivals.

Thanks.

Chloe, you should

show Seth around.

I can't leave you!

We're too busy.

Jeff? Why don't you tag Chloe out

so she can take a break?

- Anything for you, Leanne.

- My Romeo!

Go ahead. Have fun, guys.

We got this.

- Are you sure?

- All right.

Let's go. Thanks, Jeff.

So, I was wondering if you

were gonna show up tonight.

Why, did you miss me?

Like you miss a yapping Yorkie

circling your feet when you get home.

Oh, a Yorkie!

I thought you would think of me

more as a Doberman:

fearless and well-groomed.

Either way, you're still a dog.

Last call for participants

to join us

for the wine and food pairing event

happening on the main stage.

The wine tasting competition!

We have to do this.

Come on, Doberman Anderson.

You gotta help me

win this thing!

I doubt that but, what is this?

It's a competition that tests

your senses and determines

which couple has

the most knowledgeable palate.

Is that it?

Is the big city boy like,

what, are you chickening out?

Hello. Here you go.

- All right.

- Thank you. Come on!

We can do this. Hi.

Hi. Next person.

There you go.

Cabernet sauvignon.

Merlot!

We won?

Thank you, guys.

- Thanks!

- Congratulations, Chloe.

- Hey, Seth! Welcome.

- How are you?

- How are you? Thank you.

- Hi. Congratulations.

- Oh, Dad!

- Oh, hey!

Hey, it's my dad!

Why don't you take him

some champagne?

- All right.

- I'll be there in a sec, all right?

OK. Dad!

Congratulations are in order.

- Did Seth say something?

- Did he say what?

What... what are we

talking about?

We won the tasting competition.

We won!

- Great! Congratulations!

- Thank you!

Wait. What were you

talking about?

Look, I...

Chloe...

I... I wanted to put this off

until tomorrow.

OK. Dad, you're scaring me.

What's going on?

I've been thinking

about the sale.

I don't think

I have another option.

Maybe you do.

Dad, what if I took over the winery?

What would you think about that?

Chloe, I don't want you to give up

everything you've been working towards.

You have a good job in Portland.

Maggie just offered me a partnership.

There you go.

You can't do both.

You should do the thing that...

makes you wanna spring out of bed,

excited to start the day.

That is exactly how I feel here.

I think I had to go away

and experience all that other stuff

so that I could come back and

I could appreciate all of this.

I want to run the winery.

Give it to me, not some company!

I know I haven't always

been present, but Dad, I'm here now.

This is a part of me.

Chloe...

you have no idea how happy

it makes me to hear you say this.

If you'd only said it

a little earlier...

Don't say that.

I signed the contracts.

What?

Hey, guys!

Free hot toddies

for the winners!

Why wouldn't you tell me?

What?

No. It's... it's not his fault, Chloe.

I wanted to tell you, but this

wasn't the right time or place.

"Not his fault"?

If you hadn't come into town,

none of this

would have happened!

Chloe, why are you so upset?

This is great for everyone.

You know what? If you don't

understand it by now, I...

You are just...

You are an even better salesman

than I thought.

Congratulations.

You got everything you wanted.

Chloe...

Chloe!

I'm sorry, Truman.

Hi Maggie, it's Chloe.

Listen, I just wanted to s...

I wanted to say thank you

for your offer, but...

I'm gonna have to say no.

You need someone

who's gonna give you 100%,

and... that's not me.

My place is here in the Valley.

I...

I don't belong in Portland, so...

I hope you can understand, and...

...thank you for everything.

I was just...

I just turned down

the job offer.

I'm sure you can

call her back and explain.

I don't want to.

I'll...

work here, or get a...

a job at another winery.

I...

I don't know.

But I do know...

I do know

this is where I belong.

This...

This is my home.

I'm sorry if...

if I let you down.

You didn't.

You just...

You pushed me

to be honest with myself.

Will I always feel this way?

Finding what makes you happy

isn't always easy.

He's Handyman.

Hello?

OK, Chloe, you're never

gonna believe it.

I was hungry but I was sick

of all the food at the festival,

...so I stopped by that little cafe...

- I want you to have it.

- What?

Yeah, we have to keep it in town.

I can't take it with me.

I was talking to Nancy,

the waitress at the Cornerstone Cafe.

I know who Handyman is!

In fact...

I'm with him right now.

- You are?! Where?

- Right here at the cafe!

OK. Stall him. Just...

do whatever you have to do.

I'm on my way.

Don't you wanna know who he is?

I blocked Seth's car!

You said "stall"!

Good job.

- Chloe?

- Hey, Handyman!

You forgot something.

I left it on purpose.

But... I thought

this contract was your purpose.

It was...

until I found something

more important than business.

You did?

You, Chloe.

Your passion is infectious.

You make me wanna

be a better person,

find something more fulfilling.

I had more fun

being your Handyman

in your middle-of-nowhere quiet cabin

than I ever did in the city.

Don't sell to Stratosphere...

or to anyone else, for that matter.

You should run the winery.

You know it better than anybody else.

That's...

that's, of course, if you...

if you want to.

That's one

of the things I want.

So...

what's the other thing?

Well, maybe it's

a good question for Handyman.

What do you think Handyman

would advise us to do right now?

This.

I was secretly hoping

it was you all along.

OK

O, it's spicy at first.

Smoothie and more mature.

Sounds like us.

What do you get?

I have to say...

"Fruity"

This is our first bach of our

winery and all you get is "fruity"?

Common you can do

better then that. Try it again.

Close your eyes.

Now, what do you get?

Happiness...

... Laughter, and...

... a lot of love.

This's just my new favored wine.

To...

To us.
