The Annual Vintage Release Party!

Expected at the Party…

Catherine/Claire Chardonnay – Chardonnay Crest Owner. Is Catherine/Claire lost without their late spouse or stealthily building the biggest winery in the valley? Their intentions are as unclear as their proclamations. 

Casey Cabernet – Cabernet Cellars Owner. After suffering a damaging blow to their vineyards, Casey has made it clear they will do whatever they need to in order to succeed – even if it means going on the offensive. 

Shelby Champagne – Chateau Champagne Owner. Elated by the impending merger, Shelby has definite plans to grow their family fortune, if all goes as planned.

Joe Merlot – Merlot Hills Vineyards Owner. With their specialty wine trending downwards, Joe knows they can turn their business around if given the chance. 

Del Zinfandel – Chardonnay Family Lawyer. As a budding wine-traprenuer themselves, it is unclear if Del is here to tend to their family’s legal matters or show off their own vintage. 

Pierre/Perrie Pinot – Pinot Estates Winery Owner. This mysterious Parisian has been in the valley tending to their lands instead of reaping the more profitable fruits from their international estate. Are they here looking for love or something more?

Sam Syrah – Syrah Shadows Owner. A sibling to Catherine/Claire Chardonnay, no one is sure if Sam’s visit is to check up on their family or promote their own vintage. Or possibly both? 

Charlotte/Carter Chardonnay – Chardonnay Crest Heir. Wanting to eventually take over the family lands, Charlotte/Carter has been doing everything in their power to honor their late father, and it is unclear how far they will go.

Shannon Chablis – Chardonnay Crest Vintner. Always playing second fiddle to other vintners, Shannon proved their prowess when they took home the Vintner of the Valley award this year. An act that left Reese Riesling writhing.  

Bob/Brandy/Bailey Bubbly – Chateau Champagne Heir. When they are faced with chasing their dreams or their family obligations, it is hard to say which one they will choose.

Reese Riesling – Golden Grape Vintner. A product of the valley, Reese’s ongoing friendship with Charlotte is tested after Reese was left empty-handed at the Vintner’s Challenge this year.  

Marley Malbec – Cabernet Cellars Vintner. Responsible for the best up-and-coming wines, Marley’s career has been temporarily put on hold due to the vineyard fire. But how long can Marley’s career wait? 

Nikola Noir – Pinot Estates Land Manager. Trusted to run the California vineyard for the large Pinot Estates, Nikola is not sure whether their integrity is being questioned or justified.

Patrice Picker– Chardonnay Crest Vineyard Worker. Charles Chardonnay’s go-to worker for years in the fields, it could be argued that Patrice lost the most when Catherine/Claire Chardonnay became their boss.

Peter/Peyton Picker – College Student. After growing up on Chardonnay Crest lands, Peter/Peyton is seeking out their own future. A future that may have others paying for their past.  

Pauli Peach – Chardonnay Crest Fruit Buyer. As one of the newer employees at the bustling winery, it is not apparent if Pauli Peach is out to promote the winery or sabotage it.

Rosie/Rylee Rosé – Tasting Room Employee. Investing in a start-up could cost Rylee their future – unless they can prevent it.

Charity/Cooper Connors – Community Worker. Never one to step down from a challenge, Charity must balance their ambition with their drive to do what’s right for the community.

Rickie Rich – Banker. This financier has their nose in everyone’s business; financial and otherwise… 

Professor Grape – Master Sommelier. A lover of all things wine, the professor has fine-tuned their nose to sniff out the sour grapes. A duty they will take seriously at the party.
