They say every bottle tells a story, but I never expected mine to start with Julian Monroe, a journalist whose skepticism could peel the bark off an oak tree. My vineyard's success has attracted attention before, but nothing quite like his pointed questions—and the way he seems intent on unearthing every last one of my secrets. I've built my life around these vines, carefully guarded my family's legacy, and poured my soul into every blend. But now there's a twist, a darker strain of curiosity among the grapes, rumors that whisper something beyond the ordinary. Julian doesn't just want to write a review—he wants to know if there's something deeper, something magical hidden in each bottle. And the worst part? I'm not sure I can give him an answer, even if I wanted to.As we dig deeper, a spark flickers between us, dangerously close to igniting the delicate balance I've fought to maintain. But here's the thing: I've always been good at keeping things bottled up. So why is it so tempting to let one critic—who may be more interested in my story than my wine—close enough to see the woman behind the vineyard? Join me in the tangled rows and see if, together, we can discover the true heart of my legacy, one sip at a time.
