In the first few days, major wineries in California and even the United States apply to participate in the tasting, and then through the scores of major wine tasting experts, the quality of new wines from major wineries is basically distinguished, laying a foundation for the new wine sales of major wineries.

The last 2 or 3 days are the final auction and the celebratory reception, which usually lasts 2-3 days, depending on the circumstances, such as the number of vintages and excellent quality wines, which may be extended.

As the tasting began, the winemakers and owners of the major wineries in Napa Valley around Li Feng said hello to Li Feng and left, going to meet friends or something in the venue.

Similarly, not only the operators of these wineries, but also many women beside Li Feng were also curious, and then accompanied by security guards and accompanying staff, they walked into the lively venue to watch the wine tasting scene of interest.

In addition to wine tasting, there is also an opportunity for communication between the wine industry, the exchange between the owners of the winery, the exchange between the wine evaluators, the exchange between the winery and the wine merchants, etc., from the latest winemaking technology, new technology, etc., it can be said that all parties are very busy.

The wine tasting is usually an intimate gathering, and as such, it is generally not publicized, but the wine tasting is attended by winery owners, wine merchants, wine appraisers, and some wealthy groups, etc., but the final auction is held, and the wine association will invite media reporters to promote it.

Therefore, every year, whether it is a wine tasting in California or Bordeaux or Burgundy in France, although you can always hear such and such news in the outside world, such as a certain wine rating has a high score or even a full score, but there are almost no ordinary people who can really see the scene of the wine tasting.

......

It can be said that the wine industry seems to be a bit exclusive, and it is also assessed internally by the relevant practitioners in the industry, and it is announced to the public after the final assessment, as for whether the outside world believes in the wine evaluation results or not, this has never been a problem that these internal graders need to consider.

To put it bluntly, for ordinary people, when people say that this wine is good, ordinary people can only follow the trend and say that it is good, and the right to speak is in the hands of these wine industry tycoons.

As a wine tasting, it is actually like a large party, with a variety of snacks and wines on offer, and many small groups hugging each other to communicate, make friends, and exchange their own topics.

As the host began to introduce the major wine critics, the first person was naturally Robert Parker, who is now the "first person in the wine evaluation industry" and "wine emperor". In addition to Robert Parker, the two remaining two of the world's top three tasters, Ms. Jesses Robinson and James Shacklin, also came.

It can be said that if any wine can be recommended by the above three top wine critics, it can make the wine a hit of the year, and in a certain sense, whether the wine can be recognized by the outside world is up to these top wine critics.

This is also the reason why Robert Parker has such a high reputation in the wine industry, after all, all wineries want to be able to get good reviews from Robert Parker, and if it is a top rating, it is enough to make an ordinary winery famous and the 'money scene' of a natural winery bright.

Of course, in addition to the three major wine tasters, there are also many not-so-famous wine critics, after all, so many wineries that participate in the wine tasting with such a high expression, if they only rely on three people to judge, then I don't know when it will be.

......

It's not easy to give a wine a reasonable score, and the ratings at wine tastings in California are based on a 100-point scale created by Robert Parker, which is usually from 50-100.

Among them, 96-100 points are considered perfect quality, 90-95 is considered a good wine in the usual sense, in fact, most of the wineries provide the score of the red wine is below 90 points, if a winery can be above 90 points for a long time, this winery must be a top winery.

For example, wineries such as Howling Eagle and Harlan, since the 90s, have basically been above 90 every year, and many of them have a score of 96 or more, and some years have received full scores, and those wines that often get high ratings can be sold for sky-high prices.

As for red wine with a score of 50 or less, even if it is used as red wine seasoning in restaurants, it is generally disdainful to use it, and perhaps only those who are homeless and those who are bankrupt and at the bottom of society will use it.

In addition to this 100-point system, France uses a 20-point scale as the standard, generally 16 points or more is the standard for a long time, and if it is more than 18 points, it is an outstanding performance.

"Old Pinot, do you know the number of the wine we offer?" Sitting in a corner, Li Feng chatted with François Pinault, an old fellow, seeing that the venue hosting the wine tasting was so lively, many wine critics tasted the red wine in the wine glass in their hands, hung up the card after scoring, and then poured a glass of water to wash before entering the next round of wine tasting, Li Feng couldn't help but ask curiously.

"John, you don't know this, the tasting is a blind evaluation, no one knows what their winery offers until it is over, before it is officially announced, you have to know where you are offering, no one will answer you for the time being. ”

Kenny, who was on the side, heard Li Feng's words, and immediately glanced at Li Feng with a joke, as if he had seen a pair of dirt buns that had never seen the world, which made Li Feng almost throw his fist directly.

......

"Uh... Kenny, I think we'll go work out together after a while, boxing is still a very good sport. ”

"Uh... , John, I think it's better to forget it, you may have forgotten the rules just now, after all, you are also a big man now, and such a small thing is naturally understood by the people below, right?"

“...”

Looking at Kenny's picture of you being very powerful and I admit defeat, Li Feng was speechless for a while.

"Hehe... , John, don't worry, besides, you should believe in the quality of our wines, not to mention Harlan, Deer Leap and other famous wineries, the second-class Belinger and Montreina are also well-known wineries in Napa Valley, and finally including Stagecoach and Bryant, although they are not famous, but their performance over the years is also excellent, you just wait for the good news. Old Pino comforted Li Feng with a smile on the side.

"Well..."

After listening to Lao Pino's comfort, Li Feng thought to himself that this was really the case, but he was a little anxious, looking at Lao Pino sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai on the side, Li Feng couldn't help but think that he was still 'young'!

"Joseph, it's almost gone!"

"Hello, Miss Sharon. ”

"I don't need to introduce these two, the famous Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman. ”

"Please...!"

Li Feng was chatting with old Pino first, a familiar voice came, and when he looked up, he saw Sharon Stone greeting his bodyguard Joseph, and then walked first, and behind him was a Hollywood star couple, it was the famous Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman.

......

"Hello, Sharon!"

"John, long time no see!"

Li Feng took the lead in getting up to greet him, and said hello to Sharon Stone and gave him a veneer gift, naturally, in the corner where no one saw the two of them, Li Feng lightly pinched the Hollywood star.

Well, although Sharon Stone is now 40 years old, I have to say that God really loves her, not to mention 40-year-old women in Europe and the United States, in this era, there are many women who age quickly after 30, and Sharon really can't see that she is a 40-year-old European and American woman at all.

The figure is still a bumpy and delicate face, although there are a little crow's feet at the corners of the eyes, but it looks more mature and sexy.

"Hello John, it's been a long time, and the next time I go back to Los Angeles, John should come out to get together!"

"Hehe... Tom, Nicole, long time no see, hello! As for the party when I get back to Los Angeles, I'll go there if I have time. ”

"OK, we'll send you an invitation when we get to the next Hollywood party!"

"OK, next time we get together!"

“...”

In fact, not only Sharon Cast and Tom Cruise, but also many Hollywood celebrities were present at the tasting, and even many people were directly the owners of the winery, such as the famous Hollywood super director Coppola, etc., but there were only three people who came to say hello. There's no shortage of Hollywood at the annual Napa Valley wine showing.
