It never turns out well. "I'm glad you could be here," Quincy says kindly, taking the wine out of my hand and looking at the label. "Petrolo Galatrona 2013 straight from Tuscany. Wow. This is a great year." "You know wine?" I ask, brows crinkling. "With the way you suck down those yard-long margaritas, I thought all you liked were cheap drinks." I can tell by the look on Quincy's face my lame attempt at a joke failed. Once again I open mouth, insert foot.

Another, a more exotic mix of mango, avocado, and grilled shrimp, tossed in a light citrus vinaigrette. Of course, no billionaire's dinner would be complete without an impressive wine selection. Three crystal decanters sat gleaming beside each setting. One, a deep ruby red, held a rare vintage of Château Margaux, its label proclaiming a year known for its exceptional harvest. The other, a pale gold, contained a crisp, dry Chablis, perfectly chilled and ready to complement the seafood. The last one was her favorite, a fruity wine with a red ribbon tied around it.

“Nothing that will weigh you down tonight.” “We’re offering a rare wine tonight,” the waiter cut in as he returned. “Château Margaux, 2010 vintage. Bordeaux. Limited production. It aged in French oak barrels, and carries notes of blackcurrant, tobacco, and leather with a touch of spice on the finish.” He poured small into Dante’s glass and he sipped, giving a single approving nod. The waiter turned to me and poured another. I lifted the glass, my hand trembling slightly, and took a sip. The taste was smooth and not too sweet, but all I could think about was the toy inside me.

The young man, dressed in a tailored black suit, moved with practiced elegance, adding to the room's sophisticated ambiance. As he carefully poured a deep ruby red wine, the rich aroma of berries and oak filled the air. "This is a 2005 Château Margaux," the sommelier explained softly. "It's a beautiful Bordeaux blend, known for its complexity and finesse." While the wine breathed, Mrs. Walker engaged in small talk, asking about my hometown. "I grew up in Johnsonville," I told her. "Ah, Johnsonville is known for its wonderful people. You're not only beautiful but also quite talented. Luke has found himself a real gem."

He is massaging my feet, it feels like heaven. In one hand I have a nice full bodied red wine from one of the Bodega VIP brands. I swirl it around and inhale the heady aroma. A mix of almonds, blossom and blackberry. “This is one of the finest, right?” I say as Dante forms small circles on my foot. “It is one of the best but you know it is not one of the most exclusive. In Capri, they are working on a new blend.” I raise my eyebrows. “I didn’t know that nobody had informed me. I should take Xander there.” Instantly the small circles stop and Dante looks at me with a cocked eyebrow.

On Thursday, she takes her first new client meeting since November. The client is from the waiting list — a family vineyard in the Douro Valley (the steep terraced valley of the Douro River in northern Portugal, one of the oldest demarcated wine regions in the world, established in 1756 — the Douro produces port wine and, increasingly, exceptional dry table wines; its terraced schist hillsides are among the most dramatic wine landscapes in Europe, a UNESCO World Heritage Site) that has been producing wine since 1891 and that has, in the last five years, been approached four times by large wine groups who want to acquire it. They have declined four times. They are on the waiting list because

The btch even thanked me. “Lmao.” I murmured and was about to get out from the kitchen when I notice my favourite wine laying inside the wine cellar. There are different of wines being stored inside the glass cellar and those are obviously unopened, making me stand in front of it befoe checking behind me if Msiter Dawson is behind. When I checked and he isn’t around, I open it slowly, not gonna making a noise before I pick the wine I have in my eyes. “When was the last time I drink Port Wine?” I talked to myself while holding the blackand gold labelled liquor bottle. “I suddenly miss Europe.” I added, remembering the first time where I took a sip of this wine while my family and I are in a t

Since I’d achieved what I came for, I decided to make my exit. I turned to Leo and said, “See you tomorrow.” Before I left, I handed him a glass of red wine from the table. “A Bordeaux from Château Mouton Rothschild. This vineyard’s wines have quite the reputation, but they can be hit or miss. Sometimes they’re exceptional, and other times, a bit average. Personally, I’m not a fan of the coffee notes in the flavor, but pair it with pineapple, and you might find a pleasant surprise.”

“What did you say?” Marco was immediately incensed when he heard what Dustin said. Everyone looked at Dustin in shock. How could Dustin say that there was something wrong with the wine that cost 800 thousand dollars? That truly stunned a lot of people. “Are you saying that this wine is fake?” Marco’s gaze was forbidding, and his posture was interrogative. “It’s not fake wine or anything,” Dustin said. “If I’m not mistaken, this wine should be from a vineyard called Bijoux Vineyard in South Lovellia. Its retail price is 1,088 dollars per bottle. It’s quite a renowned wine in Lovellia.”

He gave a suave smile, like a man who knew just how much effort he had put in and who did not need to be told that he was doing an amazing job at winning a belle over. “You sure do more than try.” I twirled my glass under my nostrils and took in its rich smell. “Smells like honey,” I guessed. His eyes lit up with pride immediately. “A woman who knows her wine—lovely. It's Vin Santos.” My brows creased as I tried to recall if I had ever come across it before. “It's Italian. Made from dried grapes.” He raised his glass, and I did the same, clinking our glasses to a beautiful night. “You look beautiful, Iris.” He told me, running his eyes around my upper body.
