Alexandre Léger is the founder of a world-famous red wine guide and an authority on wine. He dies at his home in Tokyo, Japan. He has one child, Camille, but after Alexandre Léger divorced when Camille was 9 years old, he has not seen his daughter. Camille hears about her father's death and goes to Tokyo. There, she waits to hear about her father's will. In his will, he stipulates that if Camille wants to inherit his vast collection of wine, she has to compete against Toomine Issei in a wine-tasting competition. Issei is a wine critic and a former pupil of Alexandre Léger. If she wins the wine-tasting competition against him, Camille will inherit her father's highly sought-after wine collection.

Reviews
Intriguing story, multicultural settings
Initially, I picked this show because of Yamapi. It turned out to be good, so much better than I anticipated.It is an adaptation of a manga with the same title, but if you read the manga you'd probably be disappointed because the characters and story in the show are quite different from the manga.
In terms of the story, there are some manga-like tropes that are unescapable here. I mean, if you've read a lot of manga or watched a lot of anime, you could probably guess the outcome of each tests in the story. Still, it is quite an entertaining and heart-warming story overall.
Acting and cast are excellent. I think the multi-language and accents are quite additional charms to this series.
I don't think there is any notable OST that clings to my mind, and while it was enjoyable, one-time watching is quite enough for me----nothing quite appealing for a rewatch.
Very interesting story
I watched this on Apple TV. It's a multilingual story about wine, making wine, drinking wine, family drama, crazy parents, childhood trauma and overcoming it, and friendships that are developed out of adversity.Yamashita Tomohisa as Issei is his usual stoic, distant, cold self (and that's not a bad thing!). He's fascinating to watch.
Fleur Geffrier as Camille Leger really has to grow on you as a character. She's a mess, but with parents like yours, you can understand why, but by the end I really liked her growth.
Watanabe Makiko as Issei's mother - WOW, what a piece of work! It takes some good acting skill to bring about that kind of hate for a character.
The story was very interesting, and I absolutely loved the ending.
I know this doesn't bother a lot of people, but my enjoyment was REALLY lessened by all the cursing.
