Old Sean's ancestral house is still handed down from the nineteenth century, the standard Gothic building, from the outside looks like a small castle, the exterior wall is made of long bluestone, the interior is divided into two floors, the height of each floor has reached four meters five, the floor-to-ceiling curved windows, floors, and stairs are all wooden, and very well maintained, and there are no traces of termite corrosion.

Under the leadership of old Sean, everyone first visited his private wine cellar, which was separated from the large wine cellar of the manor, and the area was not large, which only stored the best quality red wine of the estate every year, stroking these oak barrels and bottles of red wine, Old Sean's expression was both excited and a little lonely.

Among these wines are the first-class 'legal regional wines' handed down from the time of his ancestors, which are equivalent to the current Mouton and Lafite, the second-class excellent regional wines that he made after inheriting this winery, and the "failures" that can barely squeeze into the third-class regional wines that can be reduced to the fourth-class daily table wines at any time.

The red wine stored in these oak barrels and bottles, which records the glory of the Sean family in the past, and also records the loneliness of today, makes the old Sean a little gloomy, Octavian seems to see the master's thoughts, whines twice, and rubs his head against his foot and neck......

The pine wood burning in the fireplace made a crackling sound from time to time, and a few hares on the grill had been charred brown, and old Sean was obviously a middle-aged man, still smearing butter and cheese, and he was very attentive in his roasting appearance, not at all a nobleman, but like an old hunter.

Octavian lay on the edge of the fireplace, whining and drooling.

"I was originally the most particular child of the aristocracy who ate and drank, drank first-class red wine, and ate the best French meals, but she liked to roast rabbit meat, and this method of roasting meat was what she taught me......" Old Sean turned his back to Fang Luo and them, and did not mention the matter of the winery, but looked at the fireplace affectionately, as if his wife was there: "She is a commoner's daughter, but she brews good wine and roasts rabbit meat, and finally conquers my parents, and agrees that we live together happily and excitedly...... You know? That year, she was rated as the best second-class wine, and even my grandfather, who was the best winemaker, was almost beaten by her. ”

"She was only forty years old when she went to heaven, and it was the car accident that took her life, and since then, I have never been able to eat her roasted rabbit meat, so I began to study until I could roast her delicious rabbit meat, and I know that every time I eat these rabbit meats, she will be silently with me in heaven, watching me, but unfortunately I lack talent in winemaking, in my hands, this winery is already on the verge of being reduced to the first class of daily table wines......"

Women are emotional animals, Xiao Yamei's eyes are starting to turn red, old Sean is too sensational, he is more poet than a poet, Mary is worth it in this life?

When she thought of her husband who refused to come back in the name of her career, Xiao Yamei felt lost, the woman didn't ask for much, as long as the man always put himself in his heart, old Sean did it, can Rupert do it?

"Alright, it's time to open the wine, David. ”

Red wine with red meat is the most reliable, old Sean divided one of the fingers of roast rabbit into two slices, gave it to Octavian, took the rest of the rabbit to the table, cut off the rabbit legs, and put them on the plate in front of everyone, David is the happy guy who is about to please his daughter-in-law, and is also the master winemaker of the estate, grinning and opening a bottle of chilled third-class regional table wine, and pouring a glass for each guest.

Of course, pouring wine for people is not a matter for the winemaker, he is also a guest invited by old Sean today, although old Sean has a good impression of Fang Luo, but he still has to test this young man to see how much he knows about red wine, which requires the presence of David, a real expert.

David follows the drinking method of first light and then strong, first new and then old, so the first thing to open is a bottle of red wine that has just come out of the cellar this year, the level is between the daily table wine and the regional table wine, which has fallen below the third level of wine, so he only poured a little bit for each person, and it is a little difficult to even cover the bottom of the glass, which is used to 'speak', but not really used to entertain guests.

In fact, in addition to professional sommeliers, those guys who come into the restaurant and call them Mouton or Top Lafite for four or five years are either really in stock, or purely pretending, because this gradual process is discarded.

"Please......" Old Sean didn't say anything more, raised his glass and took a sip, letting the wine roll slightly on his tongue.

After all, Fang Luo and the others were not laymen, and everyone tasted a little lightly.

"Very good rabbit meat, it tastes very good. ”

After opening his mouth, Fang Luo took a bite of roast rabbit meat and nodded slightly, Old Sean's roasting method is also unique in flavor, the delicate rabbit meat is wrapped in milky aroma, the original fishy smell has been knocked out, and it tastes quite evocative.

"Eat more if it's delicious, you're welcome. ”

Old Sean could see that Fang Luo really wanted to praise, so he was very satisfied, and after letting David remove the new wine, he personally opened another bottle of red wine, which was a fine regional table wine that had been stored for more than ten years, and belonged to the second class, and like the bottle just now, it was made from the grapes produced by Mary's Estate.

"Fang, how about tasting this bottle of wine, I'd like to hear your opinion. ”

Old Sean listened to Cheng Dong's introduction and knew that it was this young man who was really interested in the manor, so he hoped that this was a person who understood and loved wine, and he would never be like himself, although his drinking skills were first-class, but he had no talent for winemaking at all, and the owner of a red wine manor turned out to rely on excellent winemakers, which is a tragedy in itself.

"Well, this bottle of wine is very powerful......" shook the glass, let the wine fully contact with the air, and then Fang Luo took a sip gently, nodded slightly, and said: "It's a good wine, at least judging from this bottle of wine, the winemaker who made this bottle of wine ten years ago is a real good hand." ”

Fang Luo's words not only did not make David, the current head winemaker, blush, but instead looked happy: "Yes, Mr. Sean, I already said that Madame Mary is the most talented winemaker, but it's a pity...... Hey!"

To Mary, David also sighed, obviously missing the mistress of the manor.

"Fang, tell me your reasons, okay?"

"Then Mr. Sean, please answer me first, this bottle of wine from your wife should be completely handmade, right?"

After receiving an affirmative reply, Fang Luo laughed: "At least in the past ten years, you have a group of good planters, although the quality of the bottle of third-grade regional table wine just now is average, in fact, the grapes used are medium-to-high-quality Cabernet Sauvignon, and it is even better than this bottle of excellent regional table wine that has been cellared for ten years, but unfortunately, when your wife was making this batch of wine, there should have been more rain in the Bordeaux region that year, which led to the poor quality of the grapes, otherwise this bottle of second-grade red wine is very likely to become a first-class wine."
