Story notes: Many thanks to my alpha readers as well as hannah_askance for beta-reading. The vineyard and Vianne are inspired by the Domaine Peyre Rose and its owner Marlène both in the way they are described and in the choice of wine. Attentive readers may also find references to Joanne Harris' 1999 novel Chocolat and the eponymous 2000 film with Juliette Binoche and Johnny Depp, as well as to Muriel Barbery's 2006 novel The Elegance of the Hedgehog.
