A young Jew­ish-Amer­i­can Eng­lish teacher falls — glass first — into a love affair and the world of wine when he meets a famous and enchant­i­ng som­me­li­er. Lone­ly and frus­trat­ed, Peter Hapworth’s life takes a sud­den turn one night when he turns on the tele­vi­sion. He’s trans­fixed by the woman star­ing back at him, a glass of wine swirling del­i­cate­ly in her hand: Isabelle Con­way, one of the pre­em­i­nent som­me­liers in the world. On a whim, he pitch­es him­self as a guest on her pop­u­lar tele­vi­sion pro­gram, and the two embark on a whirl­wind courtship. But rela­tion­ships require a del­i­cate bal­ance of nur­tur­ing and belief — much like wine­mak­ing. Hap­worth and Izzy must nav­i­gate the com­plex mys­ter­ies of wine — and the heart.
