Chapter 1036: Wine Tasting (Part II)

Making a batch of red wine is not easy, and it is also one of the standard procedures to taste it several times during the brewing period to see what adjustments are made during the subsequent brewing process.

So after listening to Hao Sue's words, the tasters also nodded their heads in understanding, and the person who spoke before also smiled: "So that's the case, then let everyone taste Mr. Xiao's craftsmanship!" ”

"Then I'll be ugly." Xiao Ping smiled modestly at everyone, simply uncorked the bottle, and poured red wine into the crystal glass in front of everyone.

As soon as the red wine is poured into the glass, the rich aroma spreads into the air. Before everyone could pick up the glass, they smelled the aroma of wine, and their originally relaxed expressions all became serious.

Hao Chau hurriedly picked up the wine glass, brought his big nose with French characteristics to the mouth of the glass and inhaled deeply, and admired with a face full of intoxication: "This wine has a strong aroma but not a pungent aroma, in addition to the obvious fruity aroma, there is also a faint oak aroma, it is really ...... It's so special! ”

Several other tasters were also carefully sniffing the aroma of the red wine, and nodded their heads in agreement with Haucer's statement. There were a few people with appreciative smiles on their faces, clearly very pleased with the aroma of the wine.

While smelling the wine, everyone gently shook the wine glass, allowing the red wine to form a small swirl in the glass. In this way, not only can the red wine be fully in contact with oxygen, and the most subtle aromas of the wine can be released, but also the color of the red wine and the degree of hanging in the glass can be better observed.

It is important to know that a good red wine has high requirements in terms of color, form, aroma and taste, even if only one aspect is lacking, it cannot be called a fine red wine. In addition to Xiao Ping and Pierre, there are people here. They are all experienced wine tasters, so they naturally know how to better identify the quality of red wine from these three aspects.

A moment later. One sommelier couldn't help but exclaim: "This red wine is worthy of the best in terms of color and glass." Look at how uniform and thick the hanging cup is, and the color is so full and deep, it is like the purest ruby, a color I have never seen before! ”

So far, the tasters have made a very high evaluation of both the color and aroma of the wine, and the last part is the real tasting.

Although wine tasting is the most important part, it is also the most important part of measuring the quality of red wine. After all, no matter how beautiful the color and aroma of a red wine are, if you drink it in your mouth like brushing a pot of water, it will not be a high-quality red wine in any case.

After a jolt. The wine in the glass has been fully exposed to oxygen, and even the most subtle flavors are beginning to show. It was at this time that Haucer and the other sommeliers began to taste the red wine in their glasses, and as soon as they tasted the wine, they all showed expressions of surprise, joy, intoxication and incredulity.

If he hadn't witnessed it with his own eyes, Pierre would never have believed that one person could show so many expressions on his face at the same time. This made him understand that the tasters were extremely satisfied with Xiao Ping's red wine, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed immediately.

As Xiao Ping has said before, the grape varieties he uses to make wine are exactly the same as the barrels and wineries. Since he was able to produce wines that would delight even such a taster, the quality of the wines produced by the winery would certainly not be any worse, which meant that the French branch would soon have another new hot product to sell.

At the same time that Pierre's heart was secretly rejoicing. Hao Su finally swallowed the wine in his mouth reluctantly, and then exhaled a long breath and said, "Whew...... This is the first time I have tasted such a fine wine in more than 50 years of life! ”

As the manager of the winery, Hao Chau is also a senior wine taster, and he can get such an evaluation. It is enough to show that Xiao Ping's own red wine has extremely high quality.

However, Xiao Ping took into account that Hao Sue was originally his own person, maybe he would unconsciously give too high an evaluation, and it was obviously not enough to listen to Hao Sue's opinion alone. So Xiao Ping's eyes fell on the other tasters. I'd like to hear what they have to say.

"Old Hao Chau is right, this is indeed the best red wine!"

"What's more, it's a wine that's only been around for two months. I'm sure you can leave it in the barrel for a longer period of time, and it will definitely be the best red wine! ”

"As a sommelier. It's so exciting to be able to drink such a red wine! ”

Several other tasters, of course, understood what Xiao Ping meant, and expressed their opinions one after another. Hearing them say the same, Xiao Ping was completely relieved. There are so many tasters who unanimously agree that this is the best red wine, which shows that Xiao Ping was not busy in vain a while ago.

Sommeliers, including Haucer, praised Xiao Ping's red wine without hesitation, while pouring wine into their own glasses. At this time, they lost the graceful demeanor they had just tasted, and they all poured wine into their glasses until they were full, for fear that others would drink more than themselves.

If it weren't for Xiao Ping to invite everyone to taste the quality of this red wine, I am afraid that I would never have the opportunity to taste such a fine wine in my life, of course, I must seize the opportunity to drink more.

Hao Suo reluctantly drank the last sip of wine in the glass, and involuntarily shook his head and sighed: "This wine is indeed incomparable, if it can be aged for a while, there is still a lot of room for improvement in quality." ”

Xiao Ping listened to everyone's comments with a smile, and had a general understanding of how good the wine he brewed, and this wine must be a top red wine. However, the output of red wine in the demon refining pot is so small, and Xiao Ping has no intention of selling it. Anyway, with his current situation, there is no shortage of money that can be made by selling two barrels of top red wine. Xiao Ping plans to give these home-brewed red wines as gifts, which are definitely extremely precious gifts for those who like and understand red wine.

Seeing Hao Sue's somewhat regretful appearance, Xiao Ping smiled and said to him: "Hao Sue, don't be a pity." When this batch of wine is finished, I'll send you a few bottles. Also, the grapes and oak barrels I use to make wine are exactly the same as those in the winery, and the wines in our winery will never be any worse. ”

Hearing Xiao Ping's words, Hao Sue was happy again. He still remembers Xiao Ping's bold words when he first bought the winery, and actually said that he wanted to surpass the status of Château Lafite. In his heart, Hao Sue thought that Xiao Ping was talking big at the time, but now it seems that it is very possible. As long as the quality of the red wine produced by Château Saint Kettle is half as good as that produced by Xiao Ping, there is no problem at all to overpower Château Lafite.

The two bottles of red wine were quickly consumed, and the other tasters took their leave. Taking advantage of the opportunity of Hao Suo to see off the guests, Xiao Ping said to Pierre: "Don't you have something to discuss with me?" Go to the office and talk. (To be continued......)
