A sommelière in São Paulo’s contemporary fine dining scene, Isabel is ready to break free from her domineering chef boss and start something of her own: a wine bar where she decides what goes in the glass. Courting an investor, she takes the first steps towards making her project a reality, even as the backing she needs remains frustratingly out of reach.
Isabel walks the line between calculated risk and reckless abandon as her passion and idealism collide with the pragmatic realities of running an independent business. In a world where success can turn sour as quickly as an uncorked bottle left out too long, Isabel takes her one and only chance to pour her future on her own terms.
