Vino el Amor 11/10/16 Episode #12 Where a new Recapper Joins Our Team
Labels: vino
Of course I was hugely disappointed that David caved to his brat about Lillian. Her presence is a definite plot driver and her actions will escalate when Graciela returns, but any responsible father would not want anyone like her influencing his children.
The actress playing Fernanda is actually 20 but looks 12 to me. I suspect she's supposed to be in high school but she is about as mature as a pre-schooler. All the adults in this household share responsibility for that.
I completely agree with you about Juan and Perla, but this is not the first time I've seen situations like this. She is going to be in for a huge disappointment because he has bigger ambitions: He will have his eye on Graciela when she returns. Since he's educated (despite not graduating near the top of his class) he would have access to women of Graciela's position in the world. I'm predicting she will find a way to use him.
As to Marta and Gutierrez, I don't see anything happening. He may not have a conscience left if he is pursuing the woman whose husband and daughter he deported all those years ago. Or if there is a shred of conscience left in him he could be Lillian's downfall.
Miguel, Miguel, Miguel! I have to say I agree with everyone who thinks he would be the right man for Luciana, but I still have difficulty with the idea of romance between people who grow up together. In their case they didn't go through the teen years together, so it's a re-acquaintance situation, so it's not quite the same. I hope he survives the story when she ends up with David at the end.
Prediction (outside this series): Raul Coronado (Miguel) is a definite future galan. He's got the height, the smile, and the alpha-male features required. If he has the appropriate emotional range he could be the next Jorge Salinas. Predicting that JS will be cast as his father in a future series due to the resemblance.
Sorry to see that David caved and let Lil stay.
Fashion note..Luci seems to have a uniform..jeans and a tight blouse ..sane blouse.. just in different colors. She looked pretty in both the aqua and the purple. However, I feared that a button might pop off and take out someone's eye. And you know, it's all fun and games until someone loses an eye.
Miguel is smitten. His childhood playmate turned into a Playmate. I could see this actor as a galan, but the guy I find most attractive is evil Juan. I would like to see him smile more. Then , he could be a galan, too.
the writers have assembled a whole possee of mean girls to hassle Luci. I hope that Susan will become a strong, smart ally.
"Yikes. Lillian’s day is off to a rough start"
Bothers me David attacked Miguel though it is obvious the reason.
I don't really like Miguel or I should say I don't really like guys that beg.
Best scene for me was Luciana and Marta talking in bed and Luciana was trying open up honestly about her feelings, Marta realized there may be another man entering her daughters heart and pushed too hard and Luciana shut down. Luciana doesn't have one person she could bare her soul to since her father died.
Second best for me was the conversation between Carlos and Fernanda and you could see Fernanda was a scared little girl. I thought I heard she was not yet 18. Her mother died, her father only now becoming engaged again and her grandmother poisoning her against the woman that raised her and only stability she's had.
I am solidly Team Miguel. He's nice, he's cute, personally I don't see him as begging (but I didn't see last night). He does have a jealous streak which might be problematic. But he's definitely the much more age-appropriate and nicer to Luciana option. I too see the charisma in the actor; haven't seen him before but he's a natural.
I was so excited when David threw Lilian out of the house. Even sooner than I expected! Too bad it didn't take. Shame on David for letting his teenage daughter set conditions for her (very insincere) "apology" to Luciana.
Susanlynn: "I feared that a button might pop off and take out someone's eye." Yeah. David's shirts are a bit snug as well. I think both of these people would look almost as good in gunnysacks, so the tight clothes are overkill. But very photogenic!
Vivi: Carlos is gorgeous, but yeah, too young for Susan. (Except on this vineyard, where age seems to have no significance.) And his weirdly entitled approach would not be effective with any woman.
I was figuring Fernanda to be 15 or 16 at most, based on her appearance and behavior, and even then she's pretty immature. Which makes her perfect for Carlos, really.
According to Wikipedia, amber acid=succinic acid "generally recognized as safe" by the FDA to control the acidity of foods, beverages, and drugs. It is also a byproduct of fermentation that gives wine "a common taste that is a combination of saltiness, bitterness and acidity." You can see how dumping in an entire packet of it would totally ruin the wine. Yuck. Is David seriously going to blame his employees for this? He tasted the wine earlier and it was fine. He should suspect sabotage, not incompetence.
My hopes were dashed that Lilian's banishment lasted all of what, 5 min.? She didn't even have a chance to pack her bags and mope. Fernanda is a little snot and blackmails her father. Poor guy is trying to get back into the lives of his children, so I guess he figures this way is ok. Watch out Lilian, keep your claws in around David or he'll kick you out the next time.
Sorry folks, but I don't understand what Gutierrez sees in Marta. He does not know her. I do not think she is a raving beauty. In fact, if Lilian could tame her wild hair, she'd still be a stunning looker. It's only her heart that has turned rancid.
Fernanda is a brat, a misguided brat and feel a little sorry for her. Just wonder when she may turn on Marta.
Team Miguel all the way. But he doesn’t know how to woo a woman. He looks at Luciana with those big puppy eyes trying to will her to love him back.
So David not only blames Miguel for the bad wine but claims it’s because Miguel spends too much time strolling around with Luciana. Argh! Luciana can have this grumpy old man. Soto is hot but David is not likable right now. And furthermore, I have no doubt David owes Miguel a higher wage because that young man kept things going for the past two years while David was depressed.
"Her favorite Fernanda came to warn Luciana to stay away from el Patron (not the tequila)" and "PROTECT BOBBY AT ALL COSTS" were my favorites.
"Time to pack your bags, Lils!" was spot on. But the eviction was short lived. And highly disappointing.
"Also, Luciana has inspired some change within him. Cesar beams". David's loyal friend noticed the shards of ice around David's heart are beginning to melt. I must admit I'm looking forward to seeing a far less stern father become open to the possibilities of love.
"Miguel is smitten. His childhood playmate turned into a Playmate" was great Susanlynn. I have to be honest though I don't see Miguel and Luci together romantically. I would love them to be close friends and confident but this does not seem possible as Miguel is in love (based on their childhood relationship). Luci is not.
tofie, I enjoyed your insight on Fer and especially "Luciana doesn't have one person she could bare her soul to since her father died". I also feel a bit for Fer. Yes, she is lashing out but I don't think she is a bad person at the core. How she fares will depend on ability to decide things for herself. Graciela will soon be back to use and manipulate her so as of now, she has my pity.
Great comments all.

I wonder how old SUsan is supposed to be. At birth, females are programmed to live seven years longer than males. I have a friend married to a guy who is five years younger..a long, happy marriage. However, there is a big chasm in education levels between Carlos and Susan. Young boys do crush on older women. I taught in a senior high school and saw that happen...without result. I also saw it happen between teen girls and male teachers.
The non-stop bullying of Luciana is so bad, I can't even watch half of the show most of the time.
Arrrgghhhh...David should have stuck to his guns and through out Lillian. She is such a wicked witch. She could play Cinderella's wicked stepmother no problem.
As I watched this episode, at the end I wondered, hadn't they already tasted this wine from this particular batch? It seems to me that this is not the first tasting and someone should be smart enough to wonder about the batch having been sabotaged. Wines do not develop such acid substances overnight.
Did anyone else know our show would be pre-empted by the big soccer game?
Was messy.
Fernanda need to take her little confused but
To bording school. That wont happen.
David should have security camaras in the
Place, ....where the wine is aging. But no that
May not happen either. I want david to start
To open his eyes and really start to see the
People around him, the mom inlaw from hell or middle earth, his slimmy bff juan whose partically a pedophile messin with that little airhead thats not quite grown up yet.
Miguel Is gonna get his heart broken and lu is gonna have to fight for her life when the murderer comes back to claim her murdered
Sisters husband, who she thanks is her own private property. Since she spilt blood for him (lisa's). Doncha wish you were a part of
This loving clan. Im with lucy, this family is crazy.
Marta........whatever.
Thanka Urban.
Regardless, Juan is the manager of the facility and he bears responsibility for the product and fermentation equipment. So, if the wine suddenly goes bad, shouldn't David focus on Juan?
Thank you Sonia, great job, well done.
My ccs call him Tano. I had no idea that Tano is a nickname of Carlos.
