He flipped through the six ree the labels on the Reserve Chardonnay? The old labels work fine People knohat they look like Si the sheet with the picture of the arch over the entrance to the winery at her Brenna caught it and set the paper on her clipboard

"We’ve been using the sae" She willed herself to be patient "We discussed this You agreed"

He disree to such nonsense I hate them all Who did you hire to co theeles I picked them because they were innovative and excited by the project" She took the rest of the pages from him "I happen to like what they’ve done"

He frowned "Not the goat"

"It wasn’t reat Obviously you didn’t I’ll phone them and have them send us out some more ideas"

"Tell them to make the new labels like the old ones"

"If you want the with a new design?" She sucked in a breath "I know our loyal custonize our label, but they would still find us with a new one, and we ht attract new buyers"

"So now you knohat our buyers think, eh?"

"I’ve been reading up on iven you several articles Didn’t you look at theed "I’m busy Besides, what do they know? My father started Marcelli Wines fro He took this earth and he created all that you see around us When they respect that, we’ll talk"

Brenna wasn’t even sure who "they" were Before she could ask, her grandfather sighed heavily and tossed the labels on the floor

"You need to respect the old ways"

Hardly a news flash, she thought as she gauged the distance to the door and wondered if running screa into the afternoon wouldscreaht, but a woman had to make the best of as available

"I respect the old ways," she said, striving for calm "I’m also interested in what the neays have to offer"

He shook his head in obvious disgust "Your brother, he would listen"

Brenna was so stunned, she nearly dropped the clipboard "What? My brother? The guy you’ve never even met? How on earth do you knohat he would do or not do? That is such an unfair thing to say to me If Joe has any interest at all in this winery, it’s only for the one to -lost brother, he’d shown little or no interest in the Marcelli family until he’d heard there was a winery worth about forty ether "The wine is in his blood"

"I don’t think so You can’t be serious about leaving everything to hied "I do what I have to do"

He turned and left

Brenna sank onto the floor and rested her head on her knees "This is not happening," she murrandfather could really leave the winery to so it just because Joe was a guy?

"This sucks," she whispered

It more than sucked It hurt down to her bones Of course she’d known that having a brother changed things, but she’d hoped she’d been wrong

The designs for the labels lay where Grandpa Lorenzo had tossed thereements with hiotten so difficult that she and her grandfather couldn’t go a day without arguing about so Half the time she expected him to fire her Except she was family and he couldn’t

But he didn’t have to keep her in charge If he hated everything she was trying to do, why not hire sos exactly as he wanted? He could also change his will, if he hadn’t already

"Just a re to do," she told herself as she scrambled to her feet "It doesn’t matter what he does I’ll have my oinery to worry about"

But the words didn’t offer asin her world was the way she thought it would be Not her past and certainly not her future

"Final figures," Nic said when he entered Maggie’s office and slapped the folder on her desk "Read theh the pages "As long as you’re not letting success go to your head"

"Would I do that?"

"Answering that the way I want to would be unprofessional" She closed the folder "I’ll work up a projection based on these nu"

"Great" He sat down in the chair in front of her desk "What about the nuh a stack of papers by her computer and handed hiross sales, broken down by region

"That’s as good as we can do without looking at their books," Maggie told hi around, but they can only find out so ood," he said

The sales projections were even better than he’d thought There was plenty of profit to be had Once he’dand streaie watching hied
