Entering the winery, you can feel the strong atmosphere of the winery, the air is fresh, and the sun is warm, which makes Li Zehan and his party feel more and more comfortable.

Because the third-generation owner of the winery happened to be in the winery, Li Zehan and the others were very fortunate to be personally received by the owner of the winery.

Of course, they were joined by several other tourists.

Icewine is actually a fairly modern wine, and forty years ago, only a handful of wineries in Germany and Austria produced negligible quantities of icewine. It wasn't until 1973 that the first ice wine was produced in Canada by German immigrant alterHainle. Icewine is produced in winter, but in other seasons it needs to be warm enough for the grapes to ripen. Such a requirement may seem simple, but it is rare to find such a condition. Only a few regions in Canada, Germany and Austria can produce this precious dessert wine steadily, and Huanren from Liaoning, China, may be the next emerging region. In the vast and cold Canada, the vineyards that produce ice wine are almost all crowded on the narrow Niagara Peninsula between Lake Ontario and Lake Erie, and it is all thanks to the ingenious arrangement of nature, Canada has unexpectedly a cold but warm land, and has become the world's largest ice wine producer.

Because of ice wine, in a short period of time, the wine industry centered on Niagara's Lake City has created a new style of life that blends European and California wine country, with newly designed wineries and tasting centers, resort-style country resorts, exquisite winery restaurants springing up like mushrooms after a rain, and carefully arranged wine cellar itineraries, just like Napa Valley in California, the Niagara Peninsula has now become a new symbol of Canada's exquisite lifestyle, and has gradually become a totemic mecca on the delicious map. Now, travelers don't just come for the waterfalls, but for the Icewine, or rather, the Canadian flavor that surrounds it.

Originally, Li Zehan's first choice when choosing a winery was Vineland Winery, because the gourmet restaurants there can be said to be the best in the whole peninsula.

This is really very attractive, and most of them are foodies, Li Zehan and his party.

However, I thought that ice wine was passed from Germany, and this Reeve Winery, as the first winery in Germany to immigrate to Canada, also has a place that attracts Li Zehan and them.

After a very intense discussion, Li Zehan and the others chose this Reeve Winery.

After some preparations, the owner of the winery personally introduced the production process and history of ice wine to Li Zehan and other tourists.

Before starting to take Li Zehan and them to visit the winery, the owner of the vineyard said to them: All vineyard owners always pray for the frost to fall in the orchard in late autumn every year as if they were looking forward to love, and the people who can taste real ice wine are as rare as those who can get real love.

Except for a few tourists who really understand ice wine, Li Zehan and others couldn't understand the meaning of this passage at first, thinking that they were doing a kind of marketing propaganda for the high price of ice wine.

Later, with the owner's introduction to the ice wine manufacturing process, Li Zehan and the others could barely understand the meaning of this passage.

The principle of ice wine production is actually very simple, the harvested grapes are juiced, because these grapes are grown in a temperature of minus 8 °C for a long time, the grapes are frozen into solid, and the water cannot be squeezed out, only grape juice containing high concentration of sugar is flowed.

Fermentation of these sweet and sour musts alcoholically results in an ice wine.

But other conditions are quite harsh, which makes ice wine much more expensive than ordinary wine.

The key point of icewine brewing is that when the temperature drops below -7°C, the moisture in the grapes will form hard ice cubes, because there is less water to form ice, the amount of grape juice squeezed is small and viscous, usually 1000 kg of grapes can only squeeze about 110 liters, sweet and sour ice wine juice. Although the principle is simple, in order to wait for the low temperatures, the grapes are harvested two or three months later, usually in September, but ice wine is often delayed until January. The wait is long, but when the opportunity comes, every second counts, and the low temperatures suitable for harvesting may be fleeting, often in the middle of the night, and if you miss it, you may no longer have a chance. Inniskillin, the world's largest ice winery, produces more than 100,000 bottles a year, but in 1983 it was unable to produce a single bottle of ice wine because all the grapes were eaten by wild birds.

Unlike Riesling, which is the most common ice wine in Germany, the protagonist of Canadian ice wine is Vidal, a completely forgotten artificial hybrid of mediocre quality in Europe. However, on Canadian soil, Videl, which has a particularly thick skin and does not easily fall off the fruit, has become the star variety of icewine, and 85% of Canadian icewine is made from it. The aroma of Videl is very strong, often with sweet aromas such as pineapple, mango, apricot and honey, and even if it does not have the elegance and durability of Lisly, the youthful and unrestrained aroma is the specialty of Canadian icewine.

In the process of listening to the owner's introduction, Li Zehan and the others also tasted the grapes used to make ice wine.

Canadian ice wine can be stored for 10-12 years, after the ice wine is opened, it cannot be drunk, it can be corked and stored in the refrigerator, basically guaranteed that the flavor will not change within 5 days.

Icewine grapes often retain more acidity and fresh fruitiness, and after making icewine, it is different from the sweet and greasy flavor of ordinary dessert wines, even if it is very sweet, but because it has a strong acidic and fruity flavor at the same time, it looks quite fresh and refreshing.

Because of the attractive fruity flavor, most of the icewines are suitable for opening the bottle at a young age, and although they are quite durable, it is a pity to miss out on those fresh fruity flavors.

After listening to the owner's introduction to the history and production process of ice wine, he greeted Li Zehan very warmly, and they tasted some ice wine brewed last year and the year before last.

"Let's buy a few cases of ice wine later and take them back, it seems to be a good dessert after dinner." Li Zehan whispered to Jin Tae-hyun, who was holding his arm.

In Li Zehan's opinion, as long as it takes a little effort, it can indeed be regarded as a qualified dessert after a meal.

It was a big plus when I took the cheese and chocolate that Sunny brought.

"I don't think you'll be able to drink more than half a case after you buy it. Kim Tae-hee pointed to Choi so-young and the others who had their eyes starting to glow after listening to Lee Tae-han's words.

"Whoever dares to steal my wine will wait for his turn to go to the jungle. Li Zehan paused as he spoke, glanced at Jin Xiaoyuan, who was not flustered by his words, and continued: "As for Xiaoyuan, I will help you arrange more indoor interview variety shows." ”

Jin Xiaoyuan immediately dispelled the thoughts in his heart, and a simple smile quickly appeared on his face.

She would rather exhaust herself from tossing in those tiring outdoor variety shows than go to those interview variety shows to receive 'mental torture'.

"Don't be so stingy, okay, you can't drink much. Cui Xiuying said angrily.

"Don't forget that I often have dinner parties, and even if I can't drink much, there are other people who can drink together. Li Zehan said after tasting the ice wine again.

"Stingy. After Cui Xiuying grimaced at Li Zehan after speaking, she turned around and continued to discuss with her friends how much ice wine to buy.

"Don't buy too much wine, there is enough wine at home. Kim Tae-hee thought for a moment and said.

Although this ice wine is indeed very good for her taste, considering that there is not much space at home to store too much ice wine, she didn't plan to let Li Zehan buy too much this time, anyway, even if she finishes drinking, she can ask Cheng Shiqing's parents to send someone to help buy it.

When they tasted the ice wine, the owner did not forget to introduce Li Zehan to them the benefits of drinking ice wine.

Ice wine contains glucose, fructose and organic acids that are easily absorbed by the human body, which can effectively reduce cardiovascular morbidity, protect eyesight, delay aging, reduce fat accumulation, reduce blood pressure, have a protective effect on the cardiovascular system, and reduce the risk of myocardial infarction.

This made Li Zehan have the idea of buying more ice wine again, even if he doesn't drink it himself, he can also give it to his elders, after all, whether it is two people in the family or close elders, most of them will have a drink from time to time, and this ice wine is just right for them.

This time, Kim Tae-hee did not stop Lee Zehan again, and she also had a plan to let Lee Zehan buy two more boxes and send them to her parents.

After the ice wine tasting, Li Zehan and the others followed the owner of the winery to a showroom, where all the awards the winery had won and the wines that won the awards.

The lowest of these awards are all bronze awards at the national level.

This is a testament to the strength of Château Reve.

When you come to the vineyard, the neat and beautiful vines stretch to the horizon, the blue sky and white clouds, the verdant vineyards, such an idyllic place, people are fascinated. Since the cultivation of grapes requires a good soil and climate, the climate in the area around the winery is always easy-going and squinting.

After strolling in the vineyard for a while, Li Zehan and the others were almost time to leave, after all, the meal had already passed by this time, and their stomachs had already begun to protest.

After some struggle, Li Zehan decided to buy five cases of ice wine of different years, all of which were recommended by the owner himself, although the price was expensive, but Li Zehan still bought it very happily.

Because he knew that the owner's recommendation would definitely not be wrong, otherwise he would undoubtedly smash the golden sign that his winery had built up through the efforts of three generations.

Cui Xiuying and the others also bought a lot, and even Xu Xian bought a box.

Because they bought a lot of them, the winery also provided door-to-door delivery services, which saved Li Zehan some troubles, otherwise it would not be easy to get these wines back to Cheng Shiqing's home.

After leaving the address, Li Zehan and the others said goodbye to the owner of the winery and drove back to Toronto.

When they returned to Toronto, they were not in a hurry to go back, but planned to go to another destination today.

Li Zehan and his group's next destination was the St. Lawrence Market.

Toronto's St. Lawrence Market has a rich history, with over 200 years of history, making it the oldest building in Toronto.

This ancient bazaar has survived to this day. On weekdays, the market is bustling with farmers, artists and entertainers selling their homemade products and artworks. Many of the old storehouses have also been converted into unique residences, shops, bars and restaurants.

When Li Zehan travels, he always has the idea of visiting the local traditional market, because in general, you can find good food in the market.

So these traditional markets are extremely attractive to foodies like him.

And Cui Xiuying and others are not much worse than Li Zehan in terms of foodie attributes, and they are naturally very yearning for the traditional market.

In addition, they needed to find a place to solve the problem of dining, so they set this itinerary.

The St. Lawrence Market is divided into two sections, north and south, and is a large antique building separated by a Front Street.

Built in 1905, the South Building Market is a striking red brick building that encloses the original town hall monuments and forms an interesting interior layout.

In the 70s, the city council on the second floor was converted into a folk art gallery with photographs of the city's development.

The South Building Market building is divided into three floors, the second floor is now the St. Lawrence Market Gallery, and the first and basement floors are dedicated to specialty markets selling fresh, handmade food, and a variety of food outlets such as delicatessens, bakeries, butchers, etc.

The North Building Market is home to the historic St. Larence Hall, where the farmers' market and antique market are only open on Saturdays and sell produce such as fruits, vegetables, fish, and meat produced on the farm.

However, today is not a Saturday, so Li Zehan and they have no chance to visit the North Building Market.

The variety of goods in St. Lawrence Market is of high quality and feels a little more elegant than Kensington Market, hence the nickname "Yuppie Market".

"I've lived in Canada for so many years, and this is the first time I've come to St. Lawrence Market. After Li Zehan and the others found a place to park the car, Cheng Shiqing said to Kim Tae-hee and the others who were unbuckling their seat belts.

"It's not surprising, you don't look like someone who would be interested in the market. Zheng Xiuyan looked at Cheng Shiqing and said.

"I still want to visit the market occasionally, but the elders in my family are not comfortable with me coming by myself, and I am more reluctant to go out with bodyguards, so I have never been to the farmers' market here in Canada. Cheng Shiqing explained.

"Then let's take a good look later, buy some ingredients and go back by the way, and let Zehan cook for us tonight." Kim Tae-hee said with a smile.

"Ernie is a great idea, it's been a long time since we've eaten the food we made ourselves. Pani said with a thumbs up.

"Alright, let's get out of the car first, they're all waiting for us. After saying that, Kim Tae-hee took his bag, opened the car door and got out of the car.

After everyone was assembled, Li Zehan took the lead in entering the South Building Market of the St. Lawrence Market.
