Pluck the Day (a raucous comedy)

Welcome to the prestigious world of Master Sommeliers. An impressive group of wine experts, who passed an exam with one of the lowest success rates in the world. Claire wants to be part of the group. But when the Court of Master Sommeliers revokes their licenses because of a cheating scandal, Claire’s dream is corked. She and her husband, Parker, lose their new apartment; Ke loses his visa, and Cy is demoted to waiter. Claire’s mother-in-law, Sandrine, jumps to the rescue and readies them for the re-exam. All the while Claire searches for the cheater. A truly drunk on life comedy about lies, loves, and sour grapes.
