The Tasting

Hortense is a single woman full of life and eager to find true love. As this does not happen (for now), he has no choice but to share his big heart with his beloved cat, his somewhat bitter mother and a group of people who are homeless and who come to the local church every week to taste the gourmet dinner that Hortense prepares for them. One day in the supermarket, immersed in his search for the perfect bottle of wine, Hortense meets Jacques, a grumpy man in his fifties who happens to be a winemaker. Like a crush, Hortense feels that it is love at first sight and, eager to see him again, she goes to a somewhat chaotic wine tasting in Jacques's wine shop. A story of two lonely souls who inadvertently find love.
