One hundred and seventy-eight, talk about wine
Jennings continued: "Cabernet Sauvignon is characterized by its thick skin and fine grains, very dark in color, and it looks like a blueberry, but the grapes here are too large to be Cabernet Sauvignon, but rather like a new variety crossed with Cabernet Sauvignon and other varieties, and these varieties have been cultivated in recent years, and the quality is extremely unstable, and the wine produced naturally has a very poor taste......
Speaking of this, Jennings didn't say any more, but Tang Ming understood what he meant.
However, Tang Ming has his own thoughts in his heart, the grapes he planted are definitely Cabernet Sauvignon, there is no doubt about this, as for why it can grow so big, it must be because of the effect of the pond.
"As for the Cabernet Sauvignon...... Jennings picked a grape and put it in his mouth, immediately stopped talking.
Tang Ming thought that he was sour by grapes, and said, "Jennings, don't you need me to ask someone to bring you some water to drink." ”
"No, no. Jennings shook her head continuously, her expression less like she was sour, but as if she was intoxicated.
Eating one grain was not enough, he picked another one and put it in his mouth to taste it, Tang Ming and Pulan looked at each other, not knowing what Jennings was smoking.
Planes and Jennings are good friends, the reason why Jennings was able to come to Hongyan Winery was introduced by Plannings, he was afraid that Jennings would leave a bad impression on Tang Ming, so he hurriedly said: "Mr. Tang, Jennings is like this, once he encounters something he likes, he is very devoted." ”
Tang Ming smiled: "It's okay, I really like people like Jennings, if it weren't for such a character, how could he become a top winemaker." ”
Puran sighed: "Jennings' winemaking technique is definitely the best, but his personality is so unique that it is difficult for ordinary people to accept him. ”
While they were still talking, Jennings excitedly shouted, "Hahaha, this is the grape I want, this is the grape I want......"
After being excited for a while, he walked up to Tang Ming and said, "Mr. Tang, just what I said just now is a fart, the grapes here are definitely the best." ”
Tang Ming asked suspiciously: "Jennings, you can feel the quality of the grapes just by tasting them simply." ”
"Yes. Jennings nodded as a matter of course, and did not explain the reason to Tang Ming, but said: "Mr. Tang, you give me all the grapes here, I am going to use the grapes here to experiment with a new brewing method, I don't know if you agree or not." ”
Pullan said worriedly, "Jennings, your idea is too risky, I can't agree with it. ”
As the manager of Rouge Winery, he is responsible for the winery, and even if Jennings is his friend, he can't let Jennings do whatever he wants.
Jennings glared at Plan, thought for a moment, and said, "Okay, I don't want all the grapes, Mr. Tang, you just need to give me some grapes to experiment with new brewing methods, and the rest to use mature brewing methods." ”
Tang Ming asked, "Jennings, how many grapes do you need?"
Jennings asked rhetorically, "Mr. Tang, how many grapes are grown here?"
"Hahaha......" Tang Ming laughed and said, "Ten acres." ”
Jennings' eyes lit up and he said, "Then I want half of the grapes." ”
Before Tang Ming could speak, Pu Lan shook his head first and said, "No, there are too many of them." ”
Jennings looked at Puran for a moment, then compromised and said, "Three acres, then." ”
Puran shook his head again and said, "Still no." ”
Jennings said angrily, "How much does that give me?"
Tang Ming said: "Okay, just three acres." ”
Jennings said excitedly: "Thank you, Mr. Tang, thank you......"
Puran hurriedly said: "Mr. Tang, you can't do that, these grapes are of very good quality, and they will definitely produce high-quality wine, the winemaking technology studied by Jennings is not mature, it is a waste to give him so many grapes, and it is ......"
"Pran, it takes effort to experiment with new brewing techniques, and if you don't pay for them, how can new brewing techniques mature. Before he could finish his purchase, he was interrupted by Jennings.
"It's not that I don't support you, you can use the grapes in the winery to experiment with new technologies. ”
"No, the grapes grown in the winery are so bad that they don't validate my thoughts. ”
“……”
Tang Ming saw them arguing, and hurriedly said: "Okay, don't quarrel, just decide, try new winemaking techniques for Jennings' three acres of grapes, even if it doesn't succeed, I won't blame him, and I will continue to support him." ”
"Thank you, Mr. Tang. Jennings thanked Tang Ming again.
Puran shrugged and said, "Okay, Mr. Tang, you are the boss, you have the final say." ”
They spent a little more time in the vineyard and returned to the villa.
In the evening, Tang Ming prepared a sumptuous dinner to entertain them, and they were all full of praise for the beef and mutton in the pasture, but not very much for the wine stored by Tang Ming.
Jennings took a sip of a glass of wine and said, "This wine is of poor quality, if I give it a rating, I would give it 60 points at most." ”
Everyone at the table looked at each other curiously, not knowing what this rating was all about.
"There are several well-known wine scoring systems in the world, the most authoritative of which is the Wine Advocate founded by Robert Parker, who is a god-like being in the wine world, the emperor of the wine kingdom, and before Parker, Europeans used to use a 20-point system to rate wine, and it was only popular in professional circles." ”
However, Mr. Parker creatively changed the 100-point system to a popular standard based on the American school system, which was recognized by most people, including wineries, distributors, and consumers. ”
"Mr. Parker's scoring system is not complicated, starting with a score of 50 points, that is, as long as it is a wine, the lowest score is already 50 points, and the remaining 50 points are composed of several parts, I will not go into details, let me talk about the evaluation between the scores. ”
"Fifty to fifty-nine points are inferior, sixty to sixty-nine points are inferior, seventy to seventy-nine points are average, eighty to eighty-nine points are excellent, ninety to ninety-five points are excellent, ninety-six to 100 points are top wines, and Jennings just gave this wine a score of 60, which shows the quality of this wine. ”
"Defective product. Tang Ming looked at the wine in his hand, feeling that the wine he had been drinking was inferior, and he was not interested in drinking it anymore, so he put the wine down and asked, "Then Jennings, how much wine do you want to make?"
Jennings replied, "One hundred, of course." ”
"Every 100 point wine is a legend, and to achieve this score, you need not only very good winemaking skills, but also very good luck," he exclaimed. ”
