Chapter 172: The Night of True and False Wine

Ding Mu couldn't help but laugh when he saw that Yu Zilan didn't think he was "entertaining" her enough. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info didn't think so much, and took a bottle of free mineral water from the hotel for others to drink, which was indeed too shabby.

However, Ding Mu is at the level of a loser, and the entertainer never considers the amount of money spent, besides, now Ding Mu has money. Ding Mu laughed, and gently pasted the sticky note on Yu Zilan's thigh like a handsome hooligan, then picked up the phone on the table and dialed the hotel bar: "Send me a bottle of 82-year-old Lafite." What, there's no '82? What is the year? Oh, there's '86, '96, and 2000. That's 86 years. I pay by card. Hurry up and send it up. ”

Yu Zilan saw Ding Mu sticking a note on her thigh, and she felt rude. I felt that the other party's fingers crossed my thighs for a while, and my body seemed to be a little excited. Seeing Ding Mu call wine like this, Yu Zilan snorted slightly and teased: "Do you know wine?"

Ding Mu scratched his head and said honestly: "I don't understand this. However, if you think about it, there is only four years between the 86 and 82 years, so it should be good. ”

When Yu Zilan saw Ding Mu say this, she seemed to have heard the most ridiculous thing in the world, and she couldn't help laughing. And Ding Mu was inexplicable, looking at Yu Zilan with a bit of a blankness. When Yu Zilan saw Ding Mu's expression, the more she thought about it, the more ridiculous it became, her stomach hurt with laughter, and her waist couldn't stand up.

Yu Zilan heard Ding Mu say that there was a difference of four years between 82 and 86, which should be good, so she knew that he really didn't understand wine, so she finally stopped laughing and popularized basic common sense to Ding Mu: "This red wine is not a daughter red, and there is no saying that the older it is, the better." Rather, it depends on whether the climate of the winery is suitable for winemaking. ”

"I see!" Ding Mu really didn't know much about this, and continued to ask: "Then among the three kinds of wine of 86 years, 96 years, and 2000 years, is the 86 years the most expensive and the best?"

Hearing this, Yu Zilan continued to explain: "How do you say this? According to the pricing of Lafite in different years in the market, the price of Lafite in 00 is much more expensive than that in 86. Judging from the professional media in the wine industry rating each vintage, '86 is indeed a classic vintage, and it is also a perfect score of 100 points, which is especially suitable for drinking now. In 2000, it was not yet drinkable. ”

"Connoisseur!" Ding Mu picked his thumb and cast a heartfelt admiration at Yu Zilan, "How do you know so much." ”

"When I was studying in the United States, I got a sommelier degree from ISG. Yu Zilan said lightly, but the corners of her mouth showed a smug look. The gold content of this sommelier is obviously good.

Ding Mu was very curious, looked at Yu Zilan fixedly, and asked, "You have been a reporter again, studied abroad, studied sommelier, and now you are a host, your experience is really rich enough." Let's talk about it. ”

Yu Zilan shook her crossed legs, her eyes showed a hint of reminiscence, and she said slowly: "I majored in foreign languages in college, and after graduation, I worked as a reporter for a period of time, and stayed in Dinghai for two years. Later, I went abroad for graduate school and studied journalism. Interested, I took a sommelier course, which was a six-month intensive training with one class per week for eight hours each time. ”

"Then after you graduate, you will become a sommelier?" Ding Mu asked.

"Well, yes. I worked in a hotel in the United States for a while, as a sommelier. Yu Zilan added, "The social status of foreign sommeliers is quite high, and the income is also good." ”

"Then how did you go back to China?"

Yu Zilan's face remained unchanged, her eyes revealed a trace of pain, and she said lightly: "I didn't agree with my husband at the time and divorced." ”

Ding Mu then remembered Yu Zilan's gossip news, she had three marriages, the first marriage seemed to be because she was going abroad, and the second was because she was not suitable for marrying a foreigner. The third marriage was to become a host after returning to China, and married the leader of a TV station much older than her. Later, for unknown reasons, they divorced again.

This is not a good thing after all, just when Ding Mu was hesitating whether to continue the topic, the doorbell rang, and it was the wine. There is also a set of drinking tools.

Ding Mu paid the money, called the waiter who delivered the wine, and left. At this time, Ding Mu handed over all the things sent by the other party to Yu Zilan, and looked at the other party with a smile: "There are too many things to drink, it seems that you have to sober up or something, so let's invite an expert." I'll learn from you. ”

"Yes, and I know how to decant wine. But it is the new wine that needs to be decanted. Yu Zilan was rare to be able to show her hand, and she didn't shirk, jumped out of bed, came to the small bar in the room, pointed to a wine bottle and said to Ding Mu: "This bottle of wine is an old wine, and the old wine does not need to be decanted, but it must be precipitated for a while, and then the wine is changed." This will soften the tannins in the wine, which will be smoother and less bitter. ”

After settling for a while, Yu Zilan gently pulled out the wooden stopper with an auger with a wooden handle, and the action was very light and elegant. After gently pulling the cork, I wiped the mouth of the bottle with a napkin and smelled it. I found that there was no peculiar smell, and then I began to slowly change the bottle.

Ding Mu was on the side, quietly admiring Yu Zilan's movements, and there was a burst of amusement in his heart. It's really unusual to be so particular about drinking. Sure enough, people in high society like to pay attention to this tone. It is said that during the World War, bombs flew in the sky, and the British had the leisure to spread napkins on the grass for a picnic. This kind of bearing is worth learning.

While she was thinking wildly, Yu Zilan was about to pour wine into the cup, and said to Ding Mu: "This wine tasting is mainly four words, look, smell, taste, and spit out." ”

Ding Mu added: "Spit out, such a waste, all vomited, then let me see, smell, taste, swallow." ”

Yu Zilan listened to what Ding Mu said seriously, smiled, poured the wine into the bottle, tilted it 45 degrees, carefully watched the color and appearance of the wine under the light, and said in her mouth: "It's okay to swallow, don't be greedy for a cup." ”

Then shake the glass and poke your nose into the glass, inhale and smell it briefly, then take a sip and puff up your cheeks to let the small sip of wine swirl back and forth in your mouth, making full contact with your taste buds. Finally, spit it out in one gulp.

Ding Mu also painted a scoop according to the gourd, learning to look like this, but he felt sour, so he drank it in one gulp. looked at Yu Zilan and waited for her evaluation.

Yu Zilan glanced at the food prepared by the hotel, shook her head, and said dissatisfiedly: "Fake." ”

Ding Mu begged Yu Zilan to help investigate, and spared no expense to invite her to drink 86-year-old Lafite. Unexpectedly, this Yu Zilan has also been trained as a sommelier and is a wine connoisseur. As a result, after the people tasted it, they said two words, fake.

Ding Muke was angry at this time, picked up the empty wine bottle, and said to Yu Zilan: "Damn, is it really fake wine? I'll look for them!"

"It's certainly not '86, my tongue has a pretty sensitive sense of taste, and I can't go wrong. Yu Zilan nodded, shook her head again, signaled Ding Mu not to worry, and then said slowly: "This is also a bottle of Lafite, but it is definitely not 86 years, I estimate that it is 84 years." '84 was a weak vintage, and the taste was very different from '86. The real 86-year-old Lafite, 1986 Lafite, very intense, with a deep colour, medium body, harmonious structure and a long finish, with aromas of cedar, chestnut, minerality and rich fruit. The taste of this bottle is obviously different, and the market price is much lower. ”

"Damn. Ding Mu scolded, "If I hadn't listened to you, I would have asked for a bottle of 86 years, and they would have given me a bottle of 84 years, and I would have thought I had earned it." I've got to find them!"

Yu Zilan shook her head and said: "It's not the first time this kind of thing has happened, it's not bad, at least it's still Lafite." Once, I was drinking in a bar and asked for the price of Lafite, but it was 200 yuan for supermarket goods. ”

"Then what should I do in the end?" Ding Mu asked with interest, "Called the industrial and commercial bureau to seize it?"

Yu Zilan said: "When others treat me, I don't have more than one thing, and it's better to have less, and it's over." This is also the unspoken rule of the wine industry. ”

Click, Ding Mu took a group photo of Yu Zilan and this bottle of wine, and then said: "What will happen if I post this on Weibo and say that I and Yu Zilan are on vacation to drink Lafite at the Dinghai Golden Dragon Hotel?"

Yu Zilan didn't notice that Ding Mu suddenly took a photo, and couldn't help but say angrily: "What else, let's not talk about fake wine, everyone will gossip first, why are you drinking with me in the room at this time." And then there are the unscrupulous comments of entertainment journalists. If you don't get bored, you can give it a try. ”

"So, this trick is not easy to use? Then let them fool around like this? You used to be a journalist, shouldn't all reporters have a strong sense of justice? Ding Mu was not angry for a while.

"Sense of justice?" Yu Zilan smiled bitterly, didn't know what she thought, poured a big glass, and no longer went through the process of drinking red wine, touched the cup that Ding Mu put on the table, and said: "No matter what, it's worth thousands of dollars, drink." After saying that, he drank it all. Ding Mu had no choice but to accompany him for a drink.

The two of them drank three glasses each, and one bottle of wine had bottomed out. Yu Zilan's eyes were already a little drunk, and she put away the sticky note paper with the license plate number written on Ding Mu, and then patted her chest and said, "I'll help you do this." However, he did not have the slightest intention of leaving, but returned to Ding Mu's bed and sat comfortably.

Ding Mu looked at his watch, it was already eleven o'clock in the evening, what was the matter with Yu Zilan, the woman lying in my room, and said tactfully: "Tomorrow, I have to get up early to record the show." What do you have for tomorrow?"

Yu Zilan lay down on Ding Mu's bed, and said bitterly in a vague voice: "Tomorrow, I will go to my ex-husband's wedding." I watched him marry another twenty-five-year-old girl. ”

Ding Mu is so powerful, he can hear it clearly, and he can completely hear the bitterness in her voice. This woman is not easy either. is a famous host, but after all, she is a woman with three failed marriages. Although she is rich, beautiful, and famous, there are really not many men who dare to marry her. It's really hard to get her away now, and I don't know what to say to comfort her.
