Tippy: You put what is true into your wine.
I put my truth in there.
That's the Stanley.
Man: Who could have guessed that they'd decide to have a go at making the place work?
Oh, you've got to be part of the showcase, then.
Sorry?
The Behind the Vines showcase.
It's a really big day for the wineries around here.
Louis: She's now talking about separation.
So what happened?
An infidelity.
You made your bed.
I wondered whether J. might like to come out for his holidays.
Let me think about it.

[Chuckles] I mean, what a way to put Oakley on the map, huh?
Is that a map of Peak View or a map of New Zealand?
Well, both, I guess.
It would be cool if it was New Zealand, eh?
But it would also be fine if it was just a map of Peak View.
You want to invite a bunch of really important people here to Oakley and you want to showcase what, exactly?
Well, the Oakley spirit.
I mean, some of the best sommeliers, restaurateurs, journalists, and tour operators are coming here, and we're gonna show them that we are the little diamond in the rough.
Although hopefully not so rough by the time we make the place look zhuzhy.
I think that means look good, by the way.
Okay, so these are the things that need doing.
A big tidy up, obviously.
Ah, we'll need to do landscaping, oh, and we'll need to buy a fridge.
Plus organize a harvest.
Yes, that, too.
Come on, Tippy, there won't be an Oakley if we don't give ourselves a chance to... Get on a map -- one of them.
Exactly.
Well, I'm gonna fix the sign out front 'cause I've been thinking about doing that for years.
Good.
That's good.
See?
I need to hang out in the barrel room this morning.
Okay, well, you know, we've got a few weeks, so... Where's Robert the builder?
He could help with the renovations.
Um, well, we can't really afford to pay him or listen to any more poetry, so...
So we've actually definitely been accepted into the showcase, right?
Oh!
Absolutely, definitely.
So, how do we get accepted into the showcase?
Oh, that's easy.
You apply to the Federation of Winegrowers.
Mm-hmm.
Except it's not that easy.
No, you have to be accepted by the board.
And Marissa is the president.
Oh.
Oh, go on, you can handle her.
She might put on lots of airs and graces, but, uh, she was nobody until she got a leg over Don Silverton.
She grew up on an orchard.
Did you know that?
Yep, before she was Marissa Silverton, she was just plain, old Rissy from the fruit farm.
You know, once she told us that our wines were interesting to the point of being boring.
Oh!
I don't think we made the grade for the showcase, but you did, didn't you, Hilary?
Well, Coven Wines is vegan, biodynamic, and lesbian, so, ooh, we get the token diversity vote.
[Chuckles] Oh, it's your scarf.
What do you think?
Oh, it looks fab.
Ferragamo would be proud.
And, um, Hilary, what have you, um, what have you done there?
Oh, a little finessing, a little creativity, a little fusion.
Right, so you've cut up a McCartney and you sewed it together with a Westwood.
It's like some, uh, it's like nothing I've ever seen before.
Love it.
A lot of understory air flow, if you know what I mean.
Very healthy, isn't it?
[Laughs] And, Paige, Louis' son is arriving from London this afternoon.
He's about the same age as you.
I thought you might pop in and say hello?
Paige: Awesome.
I've been wanting to try my revenge spell on someone.
♪♪ Witchiness.
Runs in the family.
Oh.
♪♪ ♪♪ Oh.
Well, this is it.
Oh, it's lovely.
Must be nice to own something with your name on it.
It is, actually.
It's great.
This place is a dump.
Julian!
Julian!
It is at the moment, but we've got big plans to fix it up.
Oh, it's got a lot of potential.
Yeah.
Oh, we bought you some things from home -- a couple of coats, your special scarf.
Oh, your telescope.
Louis: Oh, darling, thank you.
Reminds me of that time I went into hospital to have my appendix out.
You made me that care package, remember?
You brought me my phone charger and my favorite ugly house socks.
That wasn't a care package.
Mum just wanted those socks off the sitting-room floor.
Yeah, well, alright, it was still...very caring.
Marissa, hi.
Oh, Daisy.
How gorgeous to see you!
Oh!
[Smooches] You, too.
Um, I was wondering if I could talk to you about the upcoming showcase.
Oh, good, yes, I wanted to talk to you, too.
Oh!
Oakley will, of course, be included this year, now that you're a gold-medal winner.
No excuses.
You must join us.
Oh, no, great.
No excuses.
We're in.
You're wonderful.
I just heard it was quite difficult to get on the lineup.
Oh, well, it's only difficult for those vineyards that don't, let's say, present as well as we do.
Oh, well, I know we need to tidy the place up a bit, but we do have very big plans.
Nonsense.
Oakley's fine.
It's charming.
Uh, uh, I wouldn't say it was charming.
Oh, no, you're being modest.
Oakley has nerve.
You'll fit right in.
Right.
So, what are we aiming for?
Is it kind of Opera House gala or red-carpet premiere?
Anything goes.
Um, I'm think with your sense of style and your experience, you'll bring a certain je ne sais quoi to it.
[Chuckles] Thanks.
And, um, this is the shed, and there's Gus.
Gus, this is, uh, my wife, Simone, and Julian.
Hi, Gus.
Hiya.
Hello.
So, Gus, w-what are you working on?
I'm looking for the letters.
Letters?
They're probably in Stanley's office, aren't they?
No, not those ones.
I'm, uh, I'm looking for the "Y."
The "Y?"
Sh-Shouldn't you be looking for the how?
No.
Definitely the "Y."
I think I should get going.
Could you drive me to the B and B?
I've still got Julian's vomit on me.
And this is my -- my partner in wine.
Hello!
This is Daisy.
Hello!
Hello!
Simone, selcome.
Hello.
Hello, Julian, hey.
Ah.
I've just been to see Marissa.
Oh?
We're in the showcase.
No.
Yes!
Oh, sorry, she's our local first lady and the president of the Federation of Winegrowers.
Ah-ha.
Mm, she's a smiling assassin.
You know the type -- She showers you in false praise and then follows it up with a knife.
And then in case you saw through her, she immediately backs it up with a compliment?
Yes!
Exactly!
Oh, you -- you must be shattered.
I am.
[Chuckles] Ah, Louis.
Ah, get this woman to her accommodation.
She needs a shower and bed.
Yep.
And, uh, I'll look after Julian.
Wow.
She is good for you.
Dad'll be back soon, J.
♪♪ So, ah... Hey, mate, do you want to come help me with something?
♪♪ Nice to meet ya.
♪♪ Oh, hello.
Hello, I'm Morag, the lady of the place.
Oh, pleased to meet you.
Simone.
I'm the husband.
Ah.
He's not staying.
Right.
Well, let me just point out a few things.
That's the fishpond.
It's off limits.
The door is locked at 8:45, so you've got to be in before then.
Absolutely no cellphones at the breakfast table, and no fornicating.
Um...
I'm sorry, what?
Oh, this is Douglas.
He won Best in Show in the Duned in Dog Show, 2005.
I'm sorry, did -- did you just say no fornicating?
I did.
Uh, oh, there's cereal and toast, one or the other, no double dipping, and the same with tea and coffee.
You can have one or the other.
And for God's sake, do not touch the television.
That's off limits.
Anything else?
No, that's it.
Sorry, excuse me, am I wrong or -- or are you running a bed and breakfast here?
One of the best in Peak View.
It's actually the only one in Peak View.
Well, there you go, then.
We've got the market cornered.
Have you read your online reviews recently?
"Owner won't let guests watch television."
"Creepy owner spies on guests."
"Weird owner confiscated our birth control."
Oh, I told them there was no fornicating.
It's a fun place.
Where is this "Y?"
I don't know, mate.
We've also got an "A" hole we need to deal with, so let me know if you find an "A."
[Chuckles] A hole?
Hey, I caught that.
Hey!
Who are you?
Julian.
Who are you?
I'm Paige.
Pleased to meet you, Paige.
You know, you've got an accent.
Hmm.
So do you.
Let's go.
Is this that last year's Stanley?
No, this is a new wine.
Oh!
It's called Back Paddocks.
Don't tell me -- because all the grapes are from the back paddocks?
[Chuckles] I'm trying to find the right blend.
There's five small back paddocks, and they all taste a bit different.
I thought all the grapes apart from your special paddock were sold to the Silvertons.
Yeah, they were, except what's in those five barrels.
Oh.
Hmm.
Okay.
Mmm.
Oh, now that's an afternoon tipple in a ski lodge with -- with cheese and terrine.
Mmm!
[Glass thuds] Aww, now that's an anniversary dinner with a Broadway show afterwards.
Oh, now, see, now, that is an art-gallery opening with celebrities.
[Chuckles] [Glass thuds] They're all really good, Tippy.
What do you want to make?
I just want to make something Stan would be proud of.
Gus: You know, it's amazing what you find when you're looking for something else.
Oh!
Gus, I need you to go and see this guy about a-a fridge.
Now, he wants 800, but I need you to get him down to 400.
I can't.
What do you mean?
I don't haggle.
[Chuckles] Of course you can haggle.
Everyone can haggle.
No, not me.
I-I like being nice to people.
No, no, it's not about being mean.
It's -- come on, look.
Let's try it.
It's easy, okay?
So, I say I want 800 for the fridge, and you say...
Okay.
No, no, no, you say, "No, I'll give you 200."
200?
Well, that's a ripoff, the poor bugger.
Yeah, well, no, but he's not -- Yeah, but what if he -- I don't know -- I don't know his life situation, Daisy.
Yeah, no, but it's not about being mean.
It's -- oh, okay, well, you know, just go back to doing whatever you're doing.
And you, trust your instincts.

Hi.
I'm, um, I'm here about the fridge.
Daisy.
This is the, uh... the fridge.
Oh.
It's, um... it's got a few bumps and that, but, uh, otherwise, she's perfect.
I can offer you 400.
Well, I'm asking 800.
That's a hefty discount.
Five.
Seven.
Six.
650.
625.

♪♪ Deal.
Would you like a drink?
Oh, um, I don't know.
Come on.
One drink.
You're new to town, and I like to think I'm a good neighbor.
Well, I guess I wouldn't want to ruin your opinion of yourself, now, would I?
♪♪ So, how long have you owned this place?
I bought it about seven years ago, did it up, and, uh, here I am... still here.
That's very entrepreneurial of you.
Well, if that impresses you, uh, you should also know that I have two restaurants in Auckland and a couple of others around the place.
So why are you working behind the bar?
You must have way more important things to do.
Sure, but I have managers in all my establishments.
And, um, well, I like talking to my customers, like you.
And why is that?
Because you never know who you're going to meet and where it might lead you.
Hmm.
♪♪ What's going on here?
We're just building a fire.
A fire?
Are you cold?
Warmth isn't a fire's only purpose, you know.
Paige is making a cleansing spell to get rid of my jetlag.
Is she?
Ah, J, it's getting pretty late.
How do you feel about, uh, pizzas and a DVD for your first night?
Um, I'm actually pretty keen just to hang here.
Is that okay?
Can we do pizza another night?
Yep, uh, whatever.
Whatever you like.
Uh, you be careful with those.
Anyway, that's the goal, to get into the Behind the Vines showcase in four weeks.
I think we can do it.
Of course you can do it.
It might be a bit tricky with Marissa, that's all.
No one says no to Marissa?
Mm.
Oh, God, tell me about it.
I mean, that woman could ice over the Sahara with just one look.
♪♪ Oh.
Sorry, have I said the wrong thing?
Uh... Hi, I'm Ben Silverton.
Oh...great.
No, they're great people, Don, and Marissa's, you know, they're...

♪♪ [Chuckles] Maybe.
[Chuckles] ♪♪ Oh.

What have you been up to?
Uh, oh, well, I, um...
I brought a fridge.
Oh!
Oh, how's Simone?
Ah, I would say dispassionate.
Ah!
Well, you know... She's -- She's jetlagged, and she has been through a tough time lately.
Mm.
Ah, Daisy, look, I don't normally do this, but...
I need some advice.
Oh, well, I know a good shrink.
No, I meant you.
Oh, wonders will never cease.
[Chuckles] Look, I-I-I-I need to -- I need to win Simone back, right?
Now, how -- how do I do that?
I need some big, romantic gesture.
I mean -- I mean, you're a -- you're a woman.
How do -- How do woman think?
Well -- I mean, you're not a normal woman.
Simone's a normal woman, but you're both still women.
I mean, you're kind of strange and consumerist, but -- Do you want my advice, or do you want me to slap you?
Sorry.
Yes, I'm a woman, and yes, I do know women.
And no, you don't need a big, romantic gesture.
You're just gonna have to give her time, Louis.
That's if you can repair it at all.
I don't have time.
Well, you need to give her time.
[Sighs] Well, I've got to do something.
[Cellphone chimes] If it's not a big, romantic gesture, then what?
Uh... just tell her how you feel about her.
That's all women ever really want.
Is that it?
Um, yep, that's it.
[Birds chirping] Oh!
[Chuckles] Hey!
Hello.
Hi!
[Sighs] How was your, uh, first night at the B and B?
Ah, like... living in a nunnery.
Oh!
[Chuckles] How was your night?
Ah, oh, it was, um...interesting.
Interesting?
Interesting good?
Well...
I met someone.
Someone?
As in a male someone?
Mm-hmm.
Mm-hmm.
Oh, God, I'm in trouble.
I mean, he's gorgeous, he's young-ish.
But he's Marissa's son.
Marris...?
The smiling assassin?
[Gasps] Yeah.
Oh, don't, it's not fair.
I never sleep with the enemy -- or the enemy's son.
It's my number-one rule.
Well, that and married men.
I have two number-one rules.
Oh, ****, sorry, that was really insensitive.
No, it's fine.
Things must be a bit difficult with you and Louis.
Really, it's fine.
I'd rather hear about your escapades.
Hmm.
Well, come back to our place for a coffee, then.
Lead on.
[Laughter] Here they come.
Morning, ladies.
What have you been up to?
Morning!
Ah, just jogging.

We're all gonna pitch in and make the vineyard look really good.
It's gonna be great fun.
Doesn't sound fun.
It's gonna be great fun, I promise you.
Go on, off you go.
Okay, yeah, whatever.
I'll -- I'll come and find you later, alright?
Do you -- Do you want to spend the day with us?
Ah, actually, I have plans, but you have fun with Julian.
But you and I don't have to help.
We can go and do something else.
No, no, it's okay.
Um, I'm actually going to get a rental and go for a bit of a drive.
Okay.
You have fun, whatever you do.
Okay.
How's that coffee?
What are you doing?
Just checking the hydraulic fluid.
This is Julian.
Welcome, my brother.
So how are you dealing with your parents' break-up?
We should go fishing.
It's good to have a bit of solitude, after the tough time you've been through.
Actually, I was gonna go quartz hunting for some crystal grids I'm gonna make later.
Want to help?
Men like to stick together, Paige.

If you had... a wife or a girlfriend and things were a bit wobbly between you, uh, wh-wh-what would you do to -- to fix that, if -- if it was your fault?
I don't know how to answer that.
Never had that situation?
I prefer dudes.
Dude?
Oh, oh, oh, dudes.
Oh, Gus, right.
Um, well, what would you do if it was a dude?
Well... you get them like a present and a surprise because then it's like a double whammy.
Gus, you're a genius.
I...I need the kitchen.
Out!
What?
What?
Out!
Gus, don't stand in the way of love!
