During his year of exploration, Patrick meets a rich cast of characters. Among them is a young local wine-maker called Virgile, who offers to initiate Patrick into the mysteries of each season`s work in the fields and in the cellar. Virgile is passionately committed to perfection, though he operates on a shoestring.
