Wine tasting is a lot of fun, three red wines, three white wines, each with a slight difference in flavor, and it is not easy for people with a less sensitive tongue to tell the difference, but the process of exploration itself is very interesting, and you can't help but slow down and savor it little by little.

"This is Latahi!" Tony was so excited that his voice began to tremble slightly, almost as famous as Romanée-Conti, and the vine is Latahi, which is undoubtedly the most expensive and precious wine of Romanée-Conti in addition to the signature.

Lu Li first rinsed his mouth with water to eliminate the taste of alcohol in his mouth before he began to taste. But even so, his senses were a little sluggish—he tasted five different wines, and although he only drank half a glass of each one, the strength of the wine slowly rose, and his palate seemed to be less sensitive.

Accidentally, Lu Li swallowed it directly.

I seem to have drunk too much today, not only my taste is a little dull, but my cheeks are also starting to burn slightly, as if I am a little drunk.

Nick noticed Lu Li's change and couldn't help laughing, "So when we tried to taste the wine, we all tried to avoid drinking it all, and chose to spit it out." After all, at dinner, we can only drink two or three different wines at most, and more often than not, we only choose one. ”

As he spoke, Brandon burped, with a rare bright smile on his face, a look of happiness written on his face, and nodded at Nick, "This is good wine, really good wine." Brandon is really too abnormal like this, but people can't help but smile along with him.

Lu Li didn't have time to take care of Brandon, but smashed it, "Wow, it's really ......" Lu Li tried to find an accurate adjective, but found that it was not an easy task, and the rich aroma left in the mouth was really long compared to the taste just now, "Light." It's really light. ”

In ordinary wines, the astringency caused by strong tannins is actually very affecting the taste, there will be a feeling of dry mouth, and the taste of alcohol will be more rushed. So, I always subconsciously want to look for cheese and refine the taste.

But now Lu Li is tasting this bottle of Latahi, the whole taste is very smooth, like silk flowing on the tip of the tongue, and the astringency of the tannins is very light, making the sour feeling become a kind of enjoyment; after the mouth, the residual fragrance in the mouth is so violent, sweet fruity aroma and strong mineral aroma, people can't help but smash their lips, as if searching for traces of alcohol again.

couldn't help it, so Lu Li took a sip again.

This time, Lu Li didn't swallow it immediately, but tasted it slowly. The mellow flesh sensation spreads between the teeth, and the aroma of alcohol and the sweetness of grapes explode in the mouth, like a fireworks display on the Fourth of July.

It's no wonder that people always say that you have to really taste high-end sake to feel the essence of alcohol. This is true for whiskey, it is true for wine, and in fact, it is true for beer.

"Wow. This is Lu Li's only thought now, he couldn't help but close his eyes, picked up his wine glass, and took a big sip again, just like Brandon, immersed in that wonderful taste, he didn't need any words, not only because the language was too pale to describe its beauty, but also because the language was too cumbersome, what he needed now was to close his mouth and enjoy it.

"Well, three thousand five hundred euros a bottle of Ratahi, what do you have special feelings?" Nick held the wine glass in his hand, his brow full of pride and pride, and a smile on his face.

"It's good to be rich. Tony's exclamation made Nick laugh lowly, and even Brandon, who was standing next to him, nodded repeatedly.

If it weren't for Lu Li, the two of them would not have had the opportunity to taste such a top-notch red wine, let alone enter a winery like Romanée Conti. Even if it's not Romani Conti, it's just Latahi, it's just the wine they see on TV and in the newspapers, and they can't drink it when they want to.

"I was thinking that it would be a pity to pick a random food and pair it with ratahi. Lu Li curiously asked another question, and it was really a foodie.

Chinese/Chinese cuisine is relatively less particular about the pairing of alcohols - of course, the main reason is that Chinese/Chinese cuisine itself has been used in a variety of ways in the cooking process of rice wine, white wine and other alcohols. Therefore, Lu Li's understanding of dining and wine pairing is still in the stage of olive garden.

Nick showed a similar expression, "In French cuisine, we usually choose snails or duck breast. Of course, it's up to the chef to make a name for yourself, and if you're willing to go to a Michelin-starred restaurant, I'm sure their waiters will give you the right recommendation. From the first conversation between the two people, it can be seen that Nick is also a foodie, "However, our Romanée Conti has several wines that are very popular in addition to Latahi. You can stay in Burgundy for a few more days and I can introduce you to some good restaurants. ”

"I've heard that there are a lot of top restaurants in France, not in the cities, but in hidden corners of the countryside. Lu Li remembers watching several food movies before, all of which had similar introductions, and those veteran gourmets would drive to these remote areas just to be able to enjoy real food.

"Food and wine are part of our lives here. Nick nodded in affirmation, and his eyes lit up as he spoke.

"The same is true in China. Lu Li's answer made Nick laugh heartily, and the two of them chatted about food, and before they knew it, they lost track of time.

Compared with wine, Chinese/Chinese rice wine, white wine, rice wine, etc., are not too famous in the world, and more often, they only know Erguotou.

Listening to Lu Li's description of the taste of rice wine, Nick was eager to try it, eager to sit down and talk to Lu Li that night, and taste the authentic rice wine.

There are many different ways to enjoy life, but the important thing is to know how to relax yourself and discover the trivial happiness around you. A glass of red wine, a steak, a moment of leisurely relaxation, and that's enough.

Nick then picked up the bottle again and poured more than half of Lu Li's wine glass, "How much do you drink? If you're drunk, we have a special rest room behind you where you can lie down and rest for a while." ”

"There's nothing better than just a glass of wine and letting yourself wander in a slightly drunken state. Lu Li picked up the wine glass, just smelling the mellow aroma of wine, he was satisfied for a while, "However, you don't have to worry about me, I think he is the one who needs to worry the most." ”

Brandon, who sat across from him, had red cheeks and a misty smile on his face, and his body swayed slightly, as if he was dancing to the strength of the alcohol. None of them expected that the worst drinker would be Brandon.

Tony and Lu Li couldn't help but laugh when they saw Brandon's posture.

Lu Li picked up the wine glass, didn't follow those tedious steps, just closed his eyes, put the glass under his nose, and quietly felt the faint aroma, as smooth as silk, flowing on his lips, as if the whole person was wrapped in it, and the curvature of the corners of his mouth involuntarily rose.

Taking a sip, the rich and mellow alcohol swirls on the tip of his tongue, and the faint fragrance is like a petal blooming on the taste buds, and in a trance, he can even feel the smell of grapevines growing vigorously under the sun, and the smell of hard sweat falling on the heavy soil, which is full of spring breath, which makes people intoxicated.

For the first time, Lu Li truly felt the beauty of food. Not only the pure taste of the food, but also the sweat that goes into the cultivation of the food, and the strength of the food in nature, are all part of the taste of food.

Therefore, the food produced by processing plants and assembly lines is in line with the rapid consumption of the fast food era, but it also loses the essence and essence hidden in the food.

What's even more a pity is that people are also starting to take it for granted, because the pace of life is getting faster and faster, and they don't have time to make it slowly, process it slowly, and taste it slowly. A simple sandwich, a simple salad, and a lunch that can be solved in just fifteen minutes can make their productivity more effective. Therefore, no one cares whether the vegetables are grown in the greenhouse anymore, and no one cares whether the ingredients are grown with hard work......

It's like, no one cares if wine is made with a drop of sweat.

This cup of latahi, the ultimate enjoyment, makes the mood fly lightly.

"It's such a blessing. Lu Li sighed softly, a look of enjoyment appeared on his face, "It seems that I will definitely buy a box to go back." But as soon as the words were finished, Lu Li was stunned, "Wait, these wines, can't be bought with money?"

Lu Li suddenly remembered that this is the No. 1 winery in Burgundy, as Tony said at the beginning, this is not a random place, you can't get in if you have money, you can't buy it if you have money, it's Romanée-Conti Winery - this vineyard, the yield is really too small and too little.

Nick looked at Lu Li, who was stunned, and couldn't help laughing, "If it's Romani Conti, then there's nothing you can do." But in Latahi's case, it is still available for purchase, as are wines from several other wineries. If you like, you can go upstairs and pick it up. ”

"Fourteen!" Tony was so excited that his voice began to tremble. This kind of red wine is too expensive, and too precious, if you can take a case back to the ranch...... Just imagining it makes people excited.

"I'm not your dream girl, don't shout so affectionately. Lu Li glanced at Tony in disgust, causing everyone to chuckle.
