Chapter 635
Sering Valerie basy alone, with the blueprints of the wine estate spread out in front of her, Matthew entered without her noticing
It wasn’t until he got closer, casing a shadow over her, that Valerie realized someone was there. She looked up and saw him. Smiling, Valerie asked, “What brings you here!”
came to check on your progress. How’s going?” Matthew replied.
“This is it!” Valeric pointed at the plans, “This vineyard and winery are bring wasted. I’m figuring out how to revive it
Matthew hugged her and said, “Do you need my help?”
“No, since Sophia entrusted this to me, I should handle it well. I can’t rely on you for everything!” Valerie said.
Matthew said. “Alright, but don’t overdo it. If you need anything, come to me!”
Valerie wrapped her arms around his neck. “Actually, I do need something. Do you have time to visit the vineyard with me?”
“No problem!”
Matthew readily agreed and drove Valene to the estate After Angel’s previous outburst, Byan had reinforced the gates and installed surveillance
Seeing them arrive, Ryan became anxious. “Mr. Grant, Mrs. Grand”
Matthew waved him off. “It’s alright. I’m just accompanying Mrs. Grant for a tour
Ryan quickly stepped aside, Valerie took Marthew to the back of the estate, where a large vineyard was full of grapes that would be ready for harvest
in a month.
Valerie said, “So
“So many grapest I didn’t get to enjoy any when I was with the Grant family!”
Matthew said, “Lincoln hoarded so much that he probably forgot about this place. He even ruined the market.
Matthew noticed a cellar entrance and added, “There’s a wine cellar here. Let’s check it out”
Valerie led the way down. As they descended, the temperature dropped, sending a chill through the air.
“This should be the storage area for the wine. Temperature and humidity are crucial here, so it’s cooler than outside,” Matthew said.
Matthew took off his jacket and draped it over her shoulders. She nodded, noticing a rich, sweet scent in the air. The deeper they went the stronger the aroma became
Valerie hadn’t drunk much wine before, but having worked in various restaurants, she had encountered many kinds. Although she couldn’t judge the quality of the wine, she could tell that the aroma here was exceptionally rich and fragrant
The area was vasi, w
, with walkways branching in all directions. Wooden barrels lined both sides of the pathways.
Every 160 feet, there was a small door, each leading to a storage room. Inside each room were thirty barrels of wine, meticulously organized by grape variety and vintage.
Matthew took two clean glasses from a display case, poured wine from a barrel, and hinded a glows to Valerie.
Valerie took a sniff, xavoring the rich aroma that filled her senses. This wine is excellent Why isn’t it selling?”
Valerie praised their own wine highly, but she couldn’t agree with it only reaching the low–end market.
Such high–quality wine, with perfect temperature, humidity, and top–notch grapes, deserved better than just supermarket shelves.
She believed in could easily make its way into high–end restaurants,
“What a shame, she said.
Matthew agreed, “The taste is indeed exceptional. I think putting it in supermarkets is a waste of its quality.
“Lincoln never intended to properly develop the brand and ended up ruining it. Otherwise, it could have easily entered the high–end market
“Now that you’re in charge, you might want to consider how to handle it and see what can be done.”
Valerie nodded, deep in thought. Matthew watched her contemplation without interruption.

As they explored, Valerie learned a lot
Different grape qualities produced different wine flavors. The market was diverse, and these wines needed to reach connoisseurs. She wasn’t sure how to achieve that yet.
Valerie said, “Let’s take two bottles out to share. See how they compare to a Lafite,”
Matthew and his wealthy peers, used to the finest things, had discerning tastes. If this wine impressed them, it would impress other affluent individuals 100.
Matthew had no objections, leaving it entirely up to her. Since Sophia had intended this as a learning experience for Valerie, Matthew was supportive as long as she was happy.
Eagerly, Valerie decided to visit the Anderson family first. Chloe had given her many gifts, and Valerie had been unsure how to reciprocate. This was a perfect opportunity to gift two bottles of wine and discuss matters with Olivia.
While gifts were appreciated, Valerie felt uncomfortable accepting such valuable items and planned to find a suitable occasion to return them.
