Carter is living a carefree playboy life, but his mother, who runs a large wine company, wants him to straighten up. She sends him off to secure a deal where they intend to purchase the last vineyard they don't own in the valley where the company started. He is supposed to find out how the sale of the estate is progressing so that their company can step in and clinch the deal at the last minute. There, he meets Valentina, who is the real estate agent handling the sale. She gets the impression that he is a carpenter and hires him to fix her guest cottage in exchange for him staying there for a week. While Carter is living there, he gets to know the valley and realizes that acquiring the estate would destroy the local wine culture that the entire town is invested in. And disappoint Valentina who really wants to save the vineyard for the locals.
A entertaining and well-crafted story that belongs to the better ones. The plot itself we have seen in other movies (even one with Josh Swickard in the lead role, A California Christmas), here they have managed to create a balance of romance, feel-good, and a touch of humor that works.
