Chapter 153: Salon Champagne
"Hannah, say baybay to Daddy!" Jessica hugged Hannah to send Link out.
After dinner, the two didn't know where to go. With Hannah by her side, there is always someone to take care of. handed over to the bodyguard, Link was not at ease, if the little guy cried, the bodyguard would not be able to coax him.
In the evening, Flon calls again, and when Link answers the phone, he is heard by Jessica, who is tired of holding him to watch TV. When he heard that Link's friend and partner had invited him to a party, Jessica encouraged him to go.
After closing the door, Jessica kissed Hannah and said, "Your dad is a pervert!"
She persuaded Link to go out, mainly because Link's hand was always groping around her waist, wanting up and down. She was very conflicted. The two have known each other for a long time.
Today, she accepted the necklace he gave her, and she accepted him as her boyfriend. But to do that, she felt like she wasn't mentally ready. But she didn't seem to be able to refuse Link in her heart.
She felt that the progress of the two seemed too fast. She needed time to cool herself down. So the best thing to do is to separate the two of you on this dangerous night.
Link only brought one bodyguard out of the house, and the remaining two were responsible for keeping Jessica and Hannah safe.
The address given by Flon is a mansion. When his car arrived, the parking lot outside the mansion was already full, and there were even some cars parked on the side of the road, but some of those cars were luxury cars, and some of them were indeed ordinary brands.
There was no place in the parking lot, so he had to ask the bodyguard to hear the car on the side of the road: "Eri, you can go back first." I'll call you when I get back. ”
Ari thought for a moment and said, "Boss, I'd better wait here." ”
"Oh well. Link got out of the car, closed the door, and closed the door. He took out the phone again and dialed Fren's number.
Flon answered the phone, and what he heard was jazz. It seems that the party inside has begun.
When Fren learned that he had gone to the door, he said, "I'll take you in."
Link had already walked to the door of the mansion, which was locked. It didn't take long for them to open. Seeing him, Furlen smiled and gave him a hug and said, "I didn't expect to see you in Los Angeles." You're here alone? What about the girlfriend you're talking about?"
She didn't like the occasion and stayed at the hotel to look after Hannah. ”
"That's a shame. I'd like to get acquainted! Let's go inside. The party has begun. ”
Furlen motioned for him to go in first.
When Link entered, he found that inside the gate was a foyer with an area of no less than forty square meters, and there was even a small flower garden in it. There is a decorative wall on the front that blocks the view and you can't see what's going on inside, but listening to the music inside, it seems that this party is not going on in the living room.
Fren laughed and said, "They're all in the back garden. ”
"Your director friend should be a big director. "Anyone who can own a mansion like this in Beverly Hills in Hollywood must be rich. As a director, if you are not a big director, you really can't become a rich man.
"In fact, Martin is not a big director yet. The money he used to buy a house was earned in the financial markets. Furlen seemed to understand what he meant. "He was a not-so-well-known author before. I started entering the film industry last year and made an independent film that had just paid off. Now he has a script in his hand, and when he heard that I was coming, he invited me to invest. ”
Link followed him inside, smiling and saying, "He's not going to be Stoll's client." ”
"Yes, he is. Now he still has nearly 15 million funds left in our company. ”
"Your personal relationship?"
"We were neighbors 10 years ago, and then he invested some money in me. Before you invest in me. Now we're friends. He was a very trustworthy friend. ”
They walked through the living room, walked to the back door, opened a glass door, and walked out. Descend a dozen steps to a garden. In the middle of the garden is a swimming pool, and around the pool there are people sitting in pairs of threes and threes.
He laughs and says, "I thought it was going to be a wild party." ”
"It's an open-air salon, right? Flon said with a smile. "If it's a wild party, it's definitely not outdoors. There aren't many people around here. But there are also a few families nearby, and too noisy will make people complain. ”
At a glance, Link could see that trees were planted on both sides of the garden, but the side facing the hill was unsheltered, and he could see the lights of the city below. "It's really nice to live here," he laughs. It was quiet and the view was nice. ”
"yes, so if you can't own a villa here in Los Angeles, you're embarrassed to say you're rich. Fren looked ahead and said. "Martin is here. ”
Link fixed his eyes and saw a blonde man in a casual white T-shirt walking over with a wine glass. He looked like he was in his thirties, and behind him, a girl with a blue silk scarf tied around her neck was following with a plate of wine. It feels like a playboy.
"Mr. Link Hans? I'm Martin Roosevelt. You are welcome to join us for the party. ”
"Very presumptuous and uninvited. ”
"No, no. I'm so happy when Flon says you're coming!" he said, turning to grab a glass of champagne from the tray in the girl behind him. "Would you like a drink?"
"Okay. Link took the glass with a clenched foot. "Thank you!"
Martin smiled and said, "Actually, I've wanted to know you for a long time. Mr. Hans. Especially Flon said you were his friend. What you've done to those vampires is really breathing in the air. He said as he took another glass for Fllen, then held out his glass to Link.
"Martin, just call me Link. That's what my friends call me. He held out his glass, slightly above the other's, and touched it.
Link took a sip of the wine, which was powerful on the palate and quite complex in aroma. He took another sip and said, "This is making authentic champagne from Chardonnay." It is super dry. This kind of champagne is very rare. ”
Martin took his glass and looked at the incandescent lamp, and said with a smile: "Worthy of the man who owns the largest vineyard." This is indeed an extra-dry salon champagne. Produced in 18 years. However, the number of production is not large. I also bought it from a friend in exchange for a bottle of cognac from the sixties. ”
Link also looked at the incandescent light, the golden liquor with a hint of green in it, and the bubbles were also very delicate. "I thought Château Salon only produced dry champagnes," he laughs. ”
Champagne is mostly dry, also known as natural. If it is not made from very ripe grapes, 1% sweet wine is usually added.
In addition to the dry type, there are also ultra-dry and absolute dry types that do not add any sweet wine at all. Of course, there are also semi-sweet (semi-dry), sweet, super sweet and absolutely sweet with more dessert wines.
Although they are all made by the same method, they are made from the same varieties of grapes. But true wine connoisseurs only regard French champagne as champagne, and other countries can only call it sparkling wine.
These things, Link also learned about recently.
He had also read in some sources that Château Salon only produces Champagne in Blancs.
Château Salon only makes wine in years when the weather is suitable. Only three of the 10 years are usually brewed, and each brew usually produces between 50,000 and 60,000 bottles. The grapes of the rest of the vintage are poured over rather than used for vinification. Therefore, every batch of Salon Champagne is the star of Champagne.
However, the winemaking principle of Château Salon rather lacks excess, which makes Salon champagne quite rare.
He hadn't really been able to drink salon champagne yet. But it's not that he can't get it, it's that he didn't think to spend that effort to find it. He didn't expect to drink it here by accident. And it's a very rare type of very dry champagne.
Furlen said, "How about we find a place to sit down and talk slowly?"
Martin smiled and pointed to a corner and said, "It's quiet there, maybe we can sit down there and have a good taste of this champagne." ”
The three of them walked along the non-slip tiles by the pool, and along the way, many beautiful women and handsome men in swimsuits greeted him. Some Link has seen it on TV.
It was still quite cold on this day, and this was in the mountains. The night wind on the mountain is quite strong, but there is a warm breeze with a hint of fragrance blowing out of the place where these people sit, which is why they can sit on the beach chairs.
Dozens of incandescent lights in the yard make the back garden look like daylight. Martin chatted with the handsome men and women along the way, and led Link to a small round table in a corner to sit down. Far from the incandescent lights, there is only a dim pillared courtyard gallery lamp. If it is a couple, it will be very emotional to sit and chat in such a place.
There are three of them, and none of them can be a couple. Martin invited Link to sit here, of course, not for a champagne tasting.
After they had each sat down, Martin pressed a switch on the porch lamp, and a warm breeze erupted between the green grass around the small round table. The temperature of the wind is not too high, but it can also blow away the cold of the night on the mountain.
Martin laughs, "It's pretty cool at night in Los Angeles. Especially in the mountains. And the evening is the best time of the day. So heat preservation is important. ”
"As long as there are conditions, we must pay more attention to the quality of life. Link nodded. "You know where I live is actually a bit cooler at night, so we rarely spend time outside on spring evenings. You taught me a solution. ”
Martin laughed and said, "Haha, that's exactly what I came up with." In fact, it is very simple, it is a blower with less noise, and then filter the air with some harmless material that can emit the direction, and send the heated air to the place you want to send it through the pipe. ”
"Christopher Columbus told us that no matter how simple things are, the first person to solve them is not simple. ”
"So I'm actually pretty proud!" Martin smiled and raised a glass to him and Flen. "I think it's a really good wine, worthy of the name Salon Champagne. ”
"Indeed. "Link hasn't actually drunk much. If you want to be a true wine taster, you don't dare to say that you can taste wine without drinking thousands of wines of all kinds.
Relative to the average person.
Different climates and different soil conditions produce different wines from the same variety of grapes with the same vinification method. Needless to say, grapes from different regions, that is, grapes grown in different years by the same vineyard, and wines made by the same winemaker with the same vinification method, will have certain differences.
And everyone's taste sensitivity is different, and everyone's sensitivity to different tastes is also different. So everyone who feels that the best wine will have his own choice.
In fact, the $5,000 Bordeaux wine that someone drinks may be like the smell of diaper water. And the wine that this person feels is the best to drink may be an unknown wine for less than fifty dollars a bottle.
Therefore, if you want to find the wine you are most satisfied with, you need to drink more wines of different varieties. Only then can you know how to taste wine and choose the one that suits you best.
And Link doesn't really appreciate this super dry salon champagne.
