Synchronize (verb) "to occur at the same time or coincide or agree in time" (Online Etymology Dictionary).
Much of our lives are left to chance, in spite of perfect planning one cannot prepare for the weather, the actions of another, and as I learned while reading this book, the making of wine. We cannot control the rain or the weather, just as we cannot control the actions of others.
In Eight Hundred Grapes Georgia is one week away from her wedding that is set to take place at her parents' vineyard. She finds her fiancee is keeping the knowledge of a daughter from her as well as meetings with his ex-wife. She realizes this as she is trying on her wedding dress and flees the city, heading home.
Upon returning home she finds her family is also struggling in their relationships and realizes the importance of home and family. Weeks have passed since I read this book and I'm still thinking about it, still wanting to try putting chocolate in lasagna and to enjoy (just one more) glass of wine.
In short, read this book, especially if you have a love of wine, it will probably help increase that love.
