Chapter 295: The beauty of the Kimchi Country
The rules of the National Wine Tasting Competition are also similar to the rules of the ten people in Chujiang just now, the elimination system is implemented, every time you taste a glass of red wine, those who answer incorrectly will be eliminated, and those who answer correctly will continue.
French Bordeaux red wine is world-renowned, it has a smooth and delicate taste, a variety of styles, known as the "Queen of French Wine", is recognized as the world's largest wine producing area.
THE MOST EXPENSIVE RED WINE IN BORDEAUX COMES FROM CHATEAU PETRUS, WHICH IS EXPENSIVE BECAUSE THE SOIL IS MADE UP OF METEORITES, WHICH IS UNIQUE TO THE WORLD.
Chu Jiang came up to taste red wine for a small purpose, that is, he hoped to taste Chateau PETRUS, which should not have been drunk for a while.
Since it is a high-end wine tasting conference, most of the red wines in it come from the old world, such as France, Germany, Italy, Portugal, Spain, etc., and the taste is more complex. It is already quite difficult for the taster to say the origin, let alone the vintage, if you have not personally visited the various production areas and know the way of red wine, you will not be able to answer it anyway.
Chu Jiang no longer drank it all, but raised the cup extremely elegantly, shook it slightly, and then tasted it through the color, smelled the breath, and then tasted it through his tongue. In short, when tasting a wine with a complex taste, you should first pay attention to the tasting steps, and then fully engage the senses of the whole body.
Even the sommelier has a lot of exquisiteness. "Decanting wine", "taking wine" and "pouring wine" all have certain requirements, and if they do not follow strict requirements, it will directly affect the judgment when tasting wine.
Grenache, Year 2005. ”
"Sauvignon Blanc, year 2000. ”
After the two answers were announced, there were already five or six fewer people on the stage, and Guo Jianming also quietly went down after the second round, he looked at the elegant Chu Jiang on the stage at the moment, and a feeling of self-shame suddenly surged in his heart.
"Rheinland, Germany, 2002. ”
Douro, Portugal, 1999. ”
After two more rounds of competition, there are already six wine tasting masters left on the stage, perhaps because of Chu Jiang's luck, he is still standing on the stage with a smile.
A diamond member is a diamond member, and even tasting red wine is superb, Fan Fei secretly praised.
It was Li Qiushui who called him, and what Li Qiushui said was very simple: "There is a young man with a diamond member, named Chu Jiang, and he wants to bring his classmates to your red wine tasting conference, is it okay?"
There are only a few diamond members in the Haishi where the Qiushui Club is located, of course Fan Fei knows, so when he introduced it among the many VIPs, he just said, "Wait a minute, everyone, I'm going to invite a very, very distinguished guest!" and then invited all 66 people including Chu Jiang.
Since Fan Fei did not specify Chu Jiang's identity, everyone could only guess, if his identity was average, would Fan Fei let him bring more than sixty friends here? After all, this is a high-end wine tasting conference.
It was already the last bottle, and Chu Jiang's opponent was only left with a powerful and imposing foreign beauty, and she kept looking at Chu Jiang with fiery eyes.
"The last bottle, win or lose, let's make friends, my name is Sikong Luan, from the kimchi country, you can call me when you have time to come to the kimchi country as a guest." Sikong Luan took a business card and gave it to Chu Jiang, it was a business card with only his name and phone number, and everything else was blank.
What a familiar sentence, when Supreme No. 1 was eating and drinking with Peng Yuqin, he met a beautiful woman from Samba Country, Ina, who became friends because of red wine and paid for her own meal.
Ina can speak fluent Shenzhou, but I can't imagine that Sikong Luan, a beautiful woman from this kimchi country, can also speak fluent Shenzhou, which shows the influence of Shenzhou in the world at this moment.
"Your Shenzhou dialect is too good. "Of course, Chu Jiang has been to the kimchi country full of beautiful women when he was on a mission, and he also knows that many people there can speak Shenzhou dialect, but he didn't expect her to speak so well, and even spoke better than Chu Jiang, an authentic Shenzhou person.
"Shenzhou is now one of the largest countries in the world in terms of comprehensive strength, and it would be too good if we didn't learn the Chinese language of this country!" Sikong Lun smiled movingly.
"My name is Chu Jiang, that ...... Do you want to make an appointment with a man from one of the world's largest countries in terms of comprehensive national strength? Brother Jiang's comprehensive strength is also very strong. Chu Jiang, who took the business card, said with a self-recommendation, his face full of harmless smiles.
"You can feel it...... Unfortunately, my plane was about to take off in an hour. See you in Kimchi Country!" Sikong Luan smiled regretfully, and then drank the last glass of red wine in his hand.
Chu Jiang also omitted the steps of seeing and smelling, picked up the last glass of red wine and drank it all.
"CHATEAU PETRUS, VINTAGE 2000. Chu Jiang and Sikong Luan looked at each other and smiled, and then said in unison.
It is rare to taste the ultimate French red wine, which makes them feel comfortable all over the body.
With the announcement of the host's correct answer, the audience applauded thunderously. For the first time since the International Wine Tasting Conference was held, the origin and vintage of all the wines were accurately stated, and two guests were produced at the same time.
These are two guests with male talents and female appearances, yes, although they only met temporarily at the wine table, but in the eyes of many people, it seems that there is already a husband and wife.
It's a pity that in the applause, Sikong Luan shook hands with Chu Jiang again, and then turned around and left, followed by two cold men, with Chu Jiang's eyes, he knew that they were two top bodyguards with first-class kung fu.
"Miss Sikong, souvenirs!" Fan Fei said loudly.
IT TURNS OUT THAT THE FIRST PLACE WINNER WILL RECEIVE TWO BOTTLES OF CHATEAU PETRUS RED WINE FROM 2000, AND THE RED WINE COMPETITION WILL AWARD RED WINE, EACH BOTTLE IS ABOUT $100,000, WHICH IS NOT PARTICULARLY VALUABLE, BUT THE SIGNIFICANCE IS EXTRAORDINARY.
"Please send it to Mr. Chu Jiang as well. When Sikong Luan's beautiful voice echoed in the hall again, there was no one to be seen.
"Me?" Chu Jiang wanted to refuse, what should be his own is his own, how can he take other people's things casually, but the people have already left, so he has to sigh helplessly, "I'll give it back to her when I go to Kimchi Country soon." ”
Chu Jiang is sometimes such a principled person, even if others sincerely give him something, if he doesn't want to accept it, he still won't accept it.
The applause rang out again, and Chu Jiang was a little embarrassed to take back two prizes, two bottles of 2000 CHATEAU PETRUS red wine each.
"Please Mr. Chu give an acceptance speech!" the host said sensationally.
Just reward two bottles of red wine, what kind of testimonial, make yourself win the Nobel Wine Tasting Prize.
"If I really want to say it, first of all, I would like to thank my girlfriend Peng Yuqin for notifying me to come to this class reunion, and then I happened to come to this wine tasting meeting and happened to get this prize. Chu Jiang said as he walked to Peng Yuqin, who was a little physically and mentally drunk, "Wine with beauty, let's ...... One bottle per person. ”
What is coincidence?
On the first morning, when a man meets a woman, he says "Hi, hello!", and the next morning when a man meets a woman, he says "Hello, Hi!" and on the third morning, when a man meets a woman, he says, "Hi, what a coincidence!".
In fact, many times, it happens to be a perfect design.
When a lot of things can't be explained, it's just a coincidence, which is appropriate.
Of course, there are other programs at the International Wine Tasting Conference, but Chu Jiang wants to keep a low profile and not steal the limelight from the other guests present. These can be guests from all over the world, and if they cause public anger, they can lead to national wars.
So he walked out of the hall with his classmates and returned to the diamond-level box.
