The indulgence of the taste buds is at its extreme. Chen Mo can't quite distinguish the subtleties between top red wine and high-end red wine, but he thinks that this red wine has a better taste and a longer aftertaste.

It was the little thing with the gold bar, squinting his eyes, his head resting on the small plate, and his face was so comfortable that he died.

"It's a shame. This bottle of red wine will be left for another four or five years to reach the extreme, and that is the real enjoyment. Kalmar looked sorry, drank the red wine in the glass, and said.

Chen Mo shrugged his shoulders and said, "How can everything be perfect. Tasting wine with a little regret may be able to feel its preciousness and uniqueness. ”

Kalmar smiled and nodded, and the work went.

"Boss, it's boring here, let's take us on a tour of the brewery." The third child was a master who couldn't sit still, drank the red wine, and spoke.

Chen Mo thought about the gun, he couldn't sit still for a long time, picked up the gold bar that was still licking the plate, and said, "Okay." ”

"Squeak." The gold bar called, and he was reluctant to give up on the red wine on the plate.

Coming to the brewery, there are significantly more visitors today than in the past. I asked Alvin to find out that today I had to open the wine that had been aged in oak barrels last year.

The grapes in the high-end grape production area have been aged in oak barrels for 12 months, and it is also a big event to open today, but Chen Mo, the boss, does not know.

Last year, spring in Napa Valley came a little later than usual, and several heavy rains in the early stages of the harvest severely affected the ripening of the grapes.

Among the guests were several senior Napa Valley sommeliers, as well as several distributors who have contracts with the winery.

When Chen Mo and the others came over, the sommelier tasted the red wine and gave a score that was not very high.

The grading of red wine is a very complicated process, first observe the color of the wine to see if there is suspension, sediment, debris, etc.; The second is to smell the wine, according to the order of the wine samples with light aroma or low concentration, then the order of tasting the wine samples with strong aroma or high concentration, then taste the wine taste, including the aroma exhaled from the nostrils, aftertaste, etc., and finally determine the style, body and personality of the wine.

This time, it was only Casapel's ordinary red wine, and the sommelier gave it a score of 7 and 6 respectively. 2 points, 6. 5 points.

Casabel is not a great wine, it is famous for its fine wines. Over the years, the price of popular red wine at the winery has been much more expensive than that of the surrounding wineries, but the quality of the wine when the barrel was opened this time is very average.

Alvin approached Chen Mo based on the rating and gave him a suggested price, $23 per bottle.

To be honest, Chen Mo is still a layman in the red wine industry, but Alvin is an expert in this area, so he agreed to the price.

The sommelier then gives a value for money score based on the selling price and the quality of the wine, and considering that Casabel is a well-known winery and the quality of the wine is very popular, the overall value for money score is 7. 5 points. Not too high, not too low, after all, it's a Casabel mass-type wine. $23 is also a moderately high price for a popular wine.

With the start of the official sale of 'Casabel 2014'.

Because the price is much lower than the price of popular red wine in previous years, this makes the distributors overjoyed.

The five distributors ordered 8,500 cases of red wine on the spot, not because they didn't want more, but because the winery could only buy so much. The 70-acre high-end production area produces a little more than 13,000 cases a year. The rest of the wine is left for the restaurants and wineries to sell themselves.

The dealer filled out the check on the spot. Napa Valley has a peculiarity that slightly more well-known wineries tend to sell to distributors at a slightly higher wholesale price than the retail price.

8,500 cases of red wine were exchanged for five fluttering checks for $1.2 million. Chen Mo looked at the check and was a little speechless, but he still had to take the boutique route to get ahead.

The third child inadvertently glanced at the check, and was stunned: "Boss, have you made a fortune?" ”

"Send you a big-headed ghost." Chen Mo put away the check and said, "8,500 cases, this is more than half of the wine from the high-end production area." ”

There was no one around, Chen Mo complained, and said: "Do you know Alvin's salary for a year, a top winemaker, management, and an annual salary of 350,000 US dollars." There are other winemakers, workers, and casual workers who pay more than $1.2 million a year. Brewing costs a lot of money, three or four hundred dollars for an oak barrel can only be used for three years, and there are other expenses......"

The third child smiled and said, "No matter how you calculate it, you still make money." ”

It's to make money, but if you invest in other industries, you will only earn more.

It's noon.

Rayong gathered the tourists he had brought with him, and Chen Mo once again saw the purchasing power of the Chinese tyrants.

Each person asked for at least one case of popular wine. The high-end red wines that store the cellars of the winery are also bought by these people.

We had lunch at the restaurant, and the tourists who came together were free. We got together to play cards or went somewhere else.

Chen Mo took the two brothers to the villa on the top of the mountain, showing off and taking out the gun he bought in the morning.

"Really?" Rayong saw the bullet next to him, was shocked, and asked.

"Nonsense. Walk, hunting in the back mountains. ”

The all-terrain vehicle sped all the way and soon stopped at the edge of the large pond. The last time he hunted a wild deer here, Chen Mo was uneasy for a long time, and later learned that there were many wild deer in the mountains around Napa Valley. Because there are no natural predators, the wild deer here were once infested.

The wild deer is not a rare animal, but a pest to the winegrowers on the edge of Napa Valley.

After looking around here, Chen Mo and the others didn't even find the shadow of the wild deer. In order to get over the gun addiction, I shot at the pond, but I saw a lot of big fish jumping out of the water.

"So many fish. When to buy a fishing rod and come over. ”

"I've thought about it for a long time. The fish sold here in the United States are all saltwater fish. There are a lot of carp and silver carp in this pond, which is just the right time for tooth sacrifices. ”

The United States rarely eats freshwater fish, and the average river fish has many spines, and the fish Americans eat are all flesh, and the fish without spines or the spines are all removed from the fish. Therefore, all the fish bought in the supermarket is meat, and live fish is rarely seen. Chen Mo likes to eat fish very much, and when he sees the carp and silver carp jumping out of the water, he can't be greedy.

drove and continued to look for the traces of the wild deer, but the wild deer did not see it, but shot six rabbits.

These rabbits are all big, fat, gray-eared rabbits.

The rabbit is a common sight in the Napa Valley and is one of the most hated animals for vine growers. Looking at the big ears are very cute but have two sharp big teeth, this guy likes to gnaw on trees and grind his big teeth when he is fine.

After seeing that the time was not early, Chen Mo was going to go home to take a shower, and then pick up Lena from school.

Rayong was not yet satisfied, and said: "There are a lot of wild animals in the mountains near the Mustang Manor, so lend me a gun to play for two days." ”

In the morning, when he bought a gun, he was warned that guns and ammunition were not allowed to be borrowed. What's more, Rayong is definitely not playing alone with a gun. After all, guns are banned in China, and it is inevitable to be excited when he sees guns, so he brought a large group of people, and if something happens, it will be fine.

Rayong, they have not yet applied for a green card, and illegal gun possession in the United States is a felony and will result in jail.

"You don't have a green card, you have a gun, be careful of being reported for illegal gun possession." Chen Mo shook his head and refused.

Luo Yong and Huang Xiaolong realized the seriousness of the problem, and no longer mentioned the matter of borrowing guns, and said, "By the way, how did you get your green card?" I went to the USCIS and said that to apply for a green card, you must have lived in the United States for at least 5 years. ”

"How did you get it. This is a bit complicated, and you can ask a special intermediary for the specific situation. ”
