Chapter 231: Little Wine Gourd
Burst...... Roland squirted the wine out of his mouth directly, and took the mouthwash handed by the assistant and slurped for a long time before spitting it out, with an expression on his face like eating stool.
"This kind of shit-like wine actually dares to take it, it's really ****!" Roland cursed fiercely there, using a certain word starting with F, making the assistant behind him want to laugh but dare not laugh.
As a sommelier, it's best if you drink a good wine, and you can close your eyes and feel the taste of the wine beating on the tip of your tongue, and feel the taste that seems to pry your soul......
But since he is a taster and not a winemaker, it means that he will definitely drink a lot of bad wine in his life, which is also something that cannot be helped, there are always some very confident guys who will ask you to help see how his wine is doing......
It's a pain in the eye, if you think about it, to become the world's top wine taster, it depends not only on 99% sweat, it can be said that without that half of the inspiration, he would not have been able to get to this position!
This is the same as the top gourmets, their sense of taste and smell are different from ordinary people, such as the current Roland, such as Old Man Yan, that tongue is simply the treasure of the world!
For example, Old Man Yan, who drinks liquor, mixed with water, how much is mixed, how much alcohol is approximated, what are the brewing raw materials, then you can basically know it with a sip, if you don't know, then take another sip.
And like Roland, it is also a matter of sip for red wine and wine, what age, which winery, which vintage, what is the quality, etc......
Again, Mr. Roland was able to tell the rainy season of the year with a glass of wine......
Therefore, it can be imagined how developed their taste nerves, especially those on the tongue, are developed, and in such a situation, drinking a bad glass of wine is really not good......
At this moment, the door was pushed open, and a middle-aged man in a suit and tie who looked like an old-fashioned gentleman walked in, accompanied by two assistants, who were pushing two small carts with a lot of wine jars on them.
In the initial audit, in order not to interfere with each other's work, the five tasters each have their own studios, and the wines that need to be reviewed will be sent in directly.
"Oh, Master Roland, I don't seem to have come at the right time...... As soon as the middle-aged man came in, he heard Roland scolding there, and he was stunned for a moment, but immediately said jokingly.
His name is Martin, a high-ranking member of the auction organizers, and he is also an old friend of Roland in private, so he talks very casually.
He had seen his old friend look like this many times, and every time the other party drank bad wine, he would be so angry.
Roland heard the voice, raised his head and helped his glasses, and then showed a disgusted expression on his face when he saw shit: "It's you, let me see, you brought me a bunch of shit here again?"
Martin didn't get angry at Roland's ridicule, but laughed there: "No, no, no, for us, these are commodities, nothing is stinking shit, even if it's not good, it's a worthless commodity at most." ”
"This batch of wine is from China, and there are ...... Oh, fourteen of them, fourteen of them. Martin said to Roland as if he were reporting to a teacher.
Roland looked at Martin's face again, and knew that the other party must have directly sent all the registered wines, and suddenly became even more dissatisfied: "Can you give me these wines after the preliminary review, I am about to go crazy when I drink these inferior wines every day...... Oh God forgive me, look at this one I drank before, it seems to be the wine of that island country, and it tastes worse than my Pan's urine......"
Pan is a Roland-like Labrador and is just one year old......
If it were in China, an old friend like Martin would definitely go back, why did you actually drink your dog's urine, tell me what it tasted like, but here, there is no such thing.
"Oh my old friend, that's not possible, you know, it's our rule...... However, you have to prepare these wines before drinking, after all, these are high-grade wines, be careful that you get drunk. Martin said on the side.
"Okay, I know, you can go!" Roland nodded, looked at the wine jars that seemed to have dirt, a trace of disgust flashed in his eyes, and then waved his hand to tell Martin to get out of here, he couldn't get used to these capitalists, using the blood and sweat of the name of the laborer to make money!
Martin smiled and exited the room, closing the door at the same time, and led his assistant to a room on the twenty-seventh floor, where an old white man in the same costume was already waiting.
"How's it going?" asked the old white man inside as soon as he entered the door.
"No problem, I've already given all the wine to Roland, and the others don't know!" Martin said with a smile while finding a sofa to sit down, "And no one knows about Roland's hatred of Huaguo wine, and I only found out about it by chance." ”
"And Roland didn't know ...... I knew about it."
The white old man nodded, a smile flashed on his slightly old face, and said, "We can't help it, so you don't need to worry, Martin, it's best to let them drink the wine themselves." ”
While the two were talking, the waiter had already brought two glasses of whiskey with ice, and the already mellow wine had a less strong taste under the action of ice cubes, but it was more suitable for drinking.
"Cheers!" Martin smiled as he raised his glass.
In the studio, Roland sat on the chair and rested for a while, and when his eyes turned, he saw the Huaguo wine on the two small carts, and there were no outsiders, and the disgust in his eyes was even stronger.
"Li, open all these wines in a while, pour a little, and then go straight to the unqualified!" Roland commanded directly as he looked at the little carts.
Li, that is, Roland's assistant, was shocked when he heard this, but as an assistant and student, he had no choice, and his salary was not given by the auction organizer, but by the teacher.
So the teacher can only do what he tells him to do, and he has to keep it secret.
Although Li sounds like a Chinese name, he is actually white, and he will walk to the small cart and have to open the mud seal of the large wine jar on top.
This wine is indeed old wine, so the mud seal is very tight, the assistant didn't open it for a long time, and when he turned around, he wanted to get tools, in this room, there is a lack of everything, there is no shortage of tools to open the wine!
Roland had been there watching his assistant's work, his eyes scanning the other wines from time to time, and suddenly, he saw that at the bottom, a small wine gourd about the size of the palm of his hand was there, all turquoise and shiny.
Roland was suddenly interested, or rather, he thought that he couldn't just drink it, so if something happened, he wouldn't be able to explain it to the auction.
"Lee, you put that wine gourd...... Yes, it's the smallest one at the bottom, thank you!"
