WINE MAMA (98)
TASTE THE WINE
INT: BRYAN AND SANDY'S HOUSE-LIVING ROOM-FRIDAY-7 A.M.
SANDY IS RUNNING BACK AND FORTH TO THE BEDROOM AND BACK AGAIN TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT SHE WANTS TO BRING AND WHAT TO WEAR TO THE MODESTO WINE COMPETITION SHE HAS ENTERED "WINE MAMA" IN
BRYAN READING THE MORNING NEWS ON HIS LAPTOP, JUST SHAKING HIS HEAD
BRYAN
"I'm not sure if your making any progress...but whatever it is your doing...your getting quite the workout...wearing me out just watching you!"
SANDY
"Well, it's the first time I've ever done one of these...can't figure dress, skirt, heels, flats...so I'm kinda taking a sampler, till I figure out what works!"
BRYAN
"I'm sure you'll have the right combination...shit, you'd look good in a potato sack!"
SANDY
"You think I should bring one...you know, just in case?"
BRYAN
"Sure, why not...might start a fashion trend...I think I have one out in the barn..."
SANDY
"Speaking of which, I need you to pack a case of Wine Mama in the Rover...ya mind?"
BRYAN
"No problem...you know we've only got about eighty-two cases left...and that my Dear, is it!"
SANDY
"That's amazing...we didn't even do any discounts or nothing, lot's of reorders right here in town...and to think we almost came up empty...really a blessing, that's all I can say!"
(1 Hour Later)
SANDY HAS PACKED UP HER RANGE ROVER AND IS LEAVING FOR SONOMA
BRIAN GIVING HER A HUG AND SENDING HER ON HER WAY
BRIAN
"Well, my fetching hot Salesgirl...don't come back without a trophy, I'll be watching the competition on the video feed, so smile and blow me a kiss for the camera!"
SANDY
"I'll see what I can do...if all else fails I'll just have to do what comes natural..."
BRIAN
"What's that?"
SANDY
"Seduce all the judges!"
BRIAN
"Get out of here, before I make you stay home, bye!"
(2 Hours Later)
SANDY ARRIVES AT THE MARRIOTT SONOMA HOTEL AND IS SOON SETTLED INTO HER ROOM
THERE ARE ALREADY FLOWERS ON HER TABLE AND SEVERAL OFFERS TO MEET OTHER VINEYARD OPERATIONS FOR DINNER
SHE DECIDES TO JUST DO THE ROOM SERVICE AND ORDER A BOTTLE OF "WINE MAMA", JUST FOR THE HELL OF IT
(Next Morning)
SHOWING UP AT THE CONVENTION CENTER, THE PLACE IS A BUZZ WITH VETERANS AND FIRST TIME HOPEFULS
EVERYONE IN THE COMPETITION HAVE ALREADY ENTERED THE REQUIRED THREE BOTTLE FOR TASTING AND JUDGING
SANDY SITS IN THE FRONT WITH A BADGE CREDENTIAL LISTING HER AS BEING A FIRST TIMER
(3 Hours Later)
SANDY MAKES CHIT-CHAT WITH ANOTHER LADY FROM SILKWOOD CELLARS
SANDY
"So, my husband wanted to try his hand at making Port Vodka...just about killed us getting it together..."
MARGE (SILKWOOD CELLARS PROMOTIONAL MANAGER)
"We have been really lucky with our vintages...this year we entered our Chardonnay Syrah Wine...very nice balance...be careful at the man over there, see how he's looking?"
SANDY LOOKS OVER, SEEING A RATHER DAPPER OLDER MAN TOASTING HIS GLASS TOWARD HER
"What the hell does he want?"
MARGE
"Probably a piece of ass...no that's Nicolas Duvernois from Quebec...wins the Vodka Master competition every year I've been coming, like six in a row...he does a very high high quality red!"
SANDY
"Really, but is it Port Vodka?"
MARGE
"No, it's an after blend, why what's your technique?"
SANDY
"We ferment it then distill it...it's the real deal!
(1 Hour Later)
THE LEAD JUDGE COMES TO THE PODIUM AND STARTS MAKING ANNOUNCEMENTS
LARRY SAWYERS (LEAD JUDGE"
"Ladies and Gentlemen, thank you all for coming out on such a lovely day in Sonoma...we would also like to thank all the contestants for their amazing talents, their skills, and their Love for the craft...of taking those remarkable extra steps which set them apart from the rest...I'm now ready to announce the winners of the Merlot competition, and once again we find the Silver going to Charbay Wineyards and the Gold to the true veterans Carlo Rossi...congratulations to all the entrants!
EVERYBODY CLAPPING
THEY FINALLY GET TO THE CHARDONNAY'S WHERE SILKWOOD CELLARS PICKS UP THE GOLD
MARGE GOES UP TO THANK THE JUDGES, BRINGS HER CHECK AND TROPHY BACK TO THE TABLE WHERE SANDY IS SITTING
MARGE
"Well, that was a good days work...just make the boss look good...he kicks me back a little on Christmas...man's a trip!"
LARRY SAWYERS
"And finally, we have a rather unusual entry, that we have been blessed with to close out the festivities today...rather distinctive first time effort in creating a whole new classification of spirits with the warm charm of a great Port...so without any further ado I would like to give a double Gold for the new the new product category and best in taste, flavor, quality, and might I say "kick"...since it is also one-hundred proof to boot to Wine Mama of Cashman Vineyards of Modesto, California...and I believe the lovely Sandy Cashman is here to receive her trophies and some well deserved gratuities...ah Miss Cashman?"
SANDY WALKING UP TO MIKE, CLEARING HER THROAT
"Thank you to the wonderful management for putting together such a marvelous event today, to the blessings of the judges, and to all of you who believe in following a dream, thank you!
EVERYBODY STANDING UP CLAPPING AS SANDY GOES BACK TO THE TABLE
MARGE IS STANDING AND CLAPPING WITH NICOLAS DUVERNOIS OF QUEBEC STANDING BY HER SIDE
SANDY APPROACHES AS NICHOLAS TAKES HER HAND AND KISSES IT
"Miss Cashman, I'm Nicolas Duvernois of Canada...how nice to make your acquaintance...I have heard a great deal about what a struggle it was to get this project off the ground...congratulations on your efforts!"
SANDY
"So nice to meet you Mister Duvernois...like wise...I have heard of your lengthy success in the Vodka Masters category, you must be quite proud of your achievements?"
NICOLAS
"What would please me even more, would be if you would honor me with dinner tonight, perhaps some dancing before we leave?"
MARGE SHAKING HER HEAD AS SHE STANDS BEHIND NICOLAS WHO IS STARING AT SANDY LIKE A RIB-EYE STEAK
SANDY
"Would really Love to, but I must be getting back to the vineyard...I am part of the crew down there...in a small operation like ours, everyone must pull their weight...I'm sure you understand?"
NICOLAS NOT EVEN FAZED
"I cannot take no for an answer, we must at least toast a drink...we talk again...are you considering entering the San Francisco competition in two weeks?"
SANDY
"Perhaps, you'll be the first to know, so that I may learn about all those lovely wine making skills you apparently have honed and crafted all these many years...let's do a raincheck, shall we?"
NICOLAS
"Of course, it sounds delightful...I will not forget your awesome beauty...you are a proud woman, gifted with charm, like a work of art...you are indeed fetching!"
SANDY REACHES DOWN INTO HER LARGE GATOR PURSE, PRODUCING A BOTTLE OF "WINE MAMA", UNKNOWINGLY IT'S ONE OF THE HOT ONES OUT OF THE LOST BATCH WHICH TESTED AT ONE-HUNDRED AND FORTY PROOF
SHE HANDS NICOLAS THE BOTTLE AND SMILES
"In the meantime, please enjoy this with my condolences of having to leave back home so suddenly, Marge...it was a true pleasure meeting you and I hope we see you soon!
MARGE
"The feeling is mutual...I will be in San Francisco...that is if you decide to enter?"
SANDY
"Trying to make the boss happy, huh?"
MARGE
"The Christmas bonuses do get my attention, all those extra numbers on the check, make my job so rewarding..."
GIVING MARGE A HUG, THEN SHAKING NICOLAS'S HAND
"Till we meet again, it's been a pleasure...enjoy the wine want you..."
(Next Morning)
SANDY PACKS THE RANGE ROVER BACK UP AND STARTS TO LEAVE THE HOTEL PARKING LOT, WHEN SHE NOTICES AN AMBULANCE SHOW UP AT THE ENTRANCE
SHE PAUSES TO TAKE A LOOK, THEN GETS BACK OUT OF ROVER AND GOES TO THE AMBULANCE WHEN SHE RECOGNIZES THAT IT'S NONE OTHER THAN NICOLAS THAT THEY ARE TAKING TO THE HOSPITAL
SHE WALKS UP TO A PARAMEDIC
SANDY
"What happened with Mister Duvornois?"
PARAMEDIC
"From what I can tell, it looks like acute alcohol poisoning, got to take him down and flush him out a little...whatever he was drinking last night got the best of him...and the bottle was only half empty...he'll live!"
SANDY WAVES TO HIM WITH HIS OXYGEN MASK ON, HE ATTEMPTS TO WAVE BACK AS THEY CLOSE THE DOORS TO THE AMBULANCE
SANDY WALKING BACK TO THE ROVER, TALKING TO HERSELF
"Wine Mama surprise everybody...including myself...Bryan's going to trip on this shit!
AS WE CLOSE IN ON TWO CHECKS STICKING OUT OF HER PURSE, BOTH FOR A HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS
SHE SMILES, TALKING TO HERSELF
"Doubled my money and wasted the asshole, too...not bad, not bad at all..."
