Chapter 391: Stomping on Grapes!
After a short break, Zhang Feng and their wine tasting journey continued, and when they arrived at a bar, just looking at the decoration, Zhang Feng felt that it still had a certain style, but in fact, it was more fulfilling inside. After understanding, Zhang Feng found that all the wines here are 100% from Grapevine City, that is to say, from the very raw grapes to the brewing process, they are all researched and produced by Grapevine City since Zhang Feng, which can represent the wine style of Grapevine City.
If Zhang Feng hadn't been told, he would not have guessed that his wife was in her 60s, but although she was not young, she had a lot of experience that many young people had never had, and her wife had done a lot of extreme challenges, such as skydiving, riding a motorcycle around the United States for 15 days and other sports, Mrs. said that these are her ideal pursuits.
Yes, just like Zhang Feng's pursuit of ideals, it has nothing to do with Zhang Feng's age. You can't give up your pursuit just because you're old and your time is running out. Hats off to Madame.
Coming out of the bar, it is already the real evening, and there are many interesting sights on the road, houses full of peppers and straw men, brilliant colors and costumes, which also add a festive feeling to the grapevine market.
The police cars and hippop cars on the streets, as well as the old couple riding motorcycles in the sunset, are all the scenery of Grapevine City, although today's itinerary is hurried and varied, but Zhang Feng has a deeper understanding of Grapevine City, and looks forward to more exciting encounters in the next few days.
A grand carnival of vines.
Later, Zhang Hao also saw the famous Texas football team.
That's right, it's the pride of Texans — the Dallas Coboys, an NFL-level football team with the nickname "Team America." There are so many things to say about this team, such as being the team that has made the most playoffs, the team that has reached the Super Bowl Finals the most times, and the first team to win the Super Bowl three times in four years. Maybe you are not familiar with rugby, so in another way, its status is equivalent to the Lakers in the NBA, Real Madrid in La Liga, is a football team with a glorious history and honors.
Rugby is Americans' favorite sport, and you can imagine the love that a successful football team will enjoy. So, Zhang Feng's first trip today was to visit the Coboys team?
The reason why Zhang Feng mentioned Dallas Coboys is because the golf course Zhang Feng went to was named after this football team, called Coboys-Golf-Club, that is, the cowboy golf team, the world's first and only NFL-themed golf team.
There is a strong football culture in the stadium, and all the balls in the stadium are a record of the Dallas Cowboys' record in NFL history. You can also see the Super Bowl trophies the team has won in the past, as well as many legends of the team and their achievements.
Even if you're not a fan of Dallas Coboys, it's still worth exploring.
In addition, Coboys is also one of the few golf courses that is open to everyone, unlike the general golf courses that are membership-based, so if you are interested in golf and want to try it, you can come here for only $30, so it is a good choice to come here. Of course, if you're already a golfer, it's also great for $100 for 18 holes, including dining and parking.
Although Zhang Feng doesn't know how to play golf, but under the guidance of the tour guide and friends, he also swung a few shots, as for the results, don't take it to heart, the posture is the most important.
"Do you know what this star means? If you know the history of Texas or you know the Dallas Coboys, you know what this star means. The tour guide sold Zhang Feng a pass, and the people next to him couldn't stand it anymore and explained it to Zhang Feng.
"It's not just the logo of the Dallas Coboys team, it's the symbol of the whole of Texas, because Texas is nicknamed the "Lone Star State", which has a lot to do with the history of Texas. ”
Before Mexico's independence, Texas belonged to Spain, then became part of the Mexican state of Coahuila y Tejas, and by the nineteen-twenties, a large number of American immigrants poured into Texas, including former U.S. Congressman and former Tennessee Governor Sam Houston. And it was thanks to the leadership of the former governor that Texas broke away from Mexico and declared independence on March 2, 1836, establishing the Republic of Texas. The flag of the Republic of Texas has only one star on it. Later, the Republic of Texas joined the United States and became the 28th state of the United States, hence the name "Lone Star State".
There is only one star on the state flag of Texas, and the symbol representing Texas' "Lone Star State" can be seen in many places in Texas, and Texas is the only state in the United States that has joined as a state, so it has the legal power to withdraw from the United States, which has also become the pride of many people, and often sees ridicule in many American dramas about Texas leaving the United States.
There is also an artificial lake in Grapevine City, called Grapevine Lake, which was dug by the army at that time, and the area at that time was not so large, but with the erosion of the years, its area has reached the size of today, and I have to sigh the great role of history.
After returning from the lake, Zhang Feng and the others went to the store where they were going to shoot guns in the afternoon to register for an appointment, guns are legal in the United States, so what they must not miss is shooting. However, its appointment steps are a little cumbersome, Zhang Feng and they have already made an appointment online before, but they still need to go to the store to register and make an appointment on the same day, the following are the steps of registration, after registration, make an appointment with the store for the exact time, about an hour later.
Of course, Zhang Feng can't waste this hour in vain, as mentioned earlier, September and October are the months when the wine festival is held in the grape vine market, so there are many grape-related activities, such as stepping on grapes.
When he first heard stepping on grapes, Zhang Feng thought it was a picking step, and then he knew that he was stepping on it with his feet. Of course, it will feel incredible, but the tour guide said that when the local wine was first made, there was no mechanical pressing method, that is, the grapes were processed by stepping on the grapes, and it was also said that stepping on the grapes was a traditional ritual to celebrate the harvest of grapes, but Zhang Feng still believed in the former statement.
