The tomato vines in the vegetable garden have a lot of new shoots, and the branches tend to grow. These small gardens of dozens of square meters seem to be unable to accommodate them.

After dinner, the road of Park Ge Manor lit up with dim orange lights.

Ye Mo and Ellie's ten fingers are tightly clasped, intertwined fingers, and clinging palms convey mutual warmth, and they take small steps in tacit understanding with each other. The white dot and the princess ran from time to time, scurrying left and right, and the gold bars fell far behind, looking lonely.

The gold bar obviously only has the IQ of a child, but the temperament of the table is arrogant and cold.

Ellie smiled and said, "It actually wants to play with the white dots, but it can't save face." ”

"Face? A squirrel still has to save face! Ye Mo scratched his chin, beckoned them to come over, and said, "Go, tease the gold bar." ”

"Wangwang."

The white dot called twice, and trotted over with the princess.

White Dots and the princess are heartless characters, never hold grudges, run to the gold bars, and directly stick out their tongues and lick it.

"Squeak." The gold bar rolled his eyes speechlessly, and wiped the saliva from his face with dissatisfaction.

But the white spot had nothing to do with the princess, and licked its pretty fur wet. The squirrel is a very clean animal, and the friendly gesture of the white dot and the princess almost annoyed it......

Ye Mo wordlessly picked up the gold bar and put it on the back of the white dot: "Good behave." They are ...... like you."

I don't know if I understand the gold bars, but I don't make a fuss.

The castle is still brightly lit. It's the last season of grape picking, and in three days at most, all the grapes from Park Ge Estate are fermented in the fermentation tanks.

When Ye Mo entered, many of the guests staying here were tasting wine on the small walls of the castle. With the starry night overhead, the sparse chirping of insects from the vineyards at your feet, the cool mountain breeze blowing in your face, and sitting on a comfortable lounge chair with a glass of wine in hand is definitely a precious treat.

Ye Mo took Ellie to the work area, and Steve and they had finished their work for the day, and had just moved an oak barrel out of the cellar.

"Boss, you're here."

Ye Mo walked over, helped open the oak barrel, poured the wine inside into the filter container, and said, "This is the Cabernet Sauvignon of the 2012 Grand Park?" ”

"Hmm. After three years of aging, I don't know how it tastes. ”

Depending on the variety, the wine is aged in oak barrels for 6, 12, 18 or 24 months, with very few being aged in oak barrels for 3 years or more. Generally speaking, wines that can withstand oak barrels for more than three years are dry reds that can be aged.

Wine has never been said to be cheap. Especially after learning more, price means quality and taste.

A 225-litre French Grand Cru barrel costs about $1,300 and lasts for three to seven years, but it is a disposable.

2012 is considered a 'California vintage', and the grapes from Napa Valley were of very good quality. The wines that have been bottled by other wineries have generally received positive reviews, and many wineries have even received a Parker score of 96.

Steve was a little nervous, getting closer and closer to the 'New World Wine Review' event.

One of the most popular units of the New World Wine Review: New Wine Rating.

A new wine is a red wine that has not yet been scored, and the rating is also known as the Parker score. Robert Parker is the only wine writer and critic in history to have been awarded the highest presidential honours by two French presidents and one Italian president. The 'Parker Score' is based on the 100-point wine rating system developed by this person......

As a world-class wine evaluation event, Park Ge Winery does not have the advantage of competing in other units, and only the 'New Wine Rating' can compete for it.

Ellie looked at Ye Mo, then at the others, and found that they were all shaking their red wine glasses, and they were also shaking: "Hey, what are you looking at?" Ellie pulled Ye Mo's sleeve and asked in a low voice.

"It depends on the quality of the wine." Ye Mo learned wine tasting from Steve before, and he could see how good or bad a wine was, saying: "If the wine is a deep red or posture, poured into a red wine glass, and the wine on the edge of the glass is smooth and compact, then it means that the wine is full of tannins and is a wine with good aging potential......"

"Oh." Ellie nodded matter-of-factly: "And mumble?" ”

"Its smell, floral and fruity, is the best, and the vegetal and mineral smells are slightly worse......"

"I only smell oak and alcohol."

Ye Mo looked at the other people's intoxicated expressions, turned around, and whispered in Ellie's ear, "Me too." I don't know what kind of nose they are......"

Ellie smiled, took a sip, and immediately frowned, revealing a painful expression: "Sour, astringent." ”

"That's right. Acidity is the cornerstone of a wine's balance, and in warmer climates like Napa Valley, acidity also increases its ageing potential. Ye Mo Pepe talked, but in fact, this new wine had just come out of the barrel, and his feeling was almost the same as Ellie's. Only sour and astringent, and a smell of oak.

Steve's winemakers frowned, stretched, and their expressions distorted, revealing a hint of excitement from time to time. I don't know if they tasted it......

Ye Mo shook his head, put the cup down, and asked, "How is it?" How many points do you get? ”

"The wine is fairly rich and has a certain amount of layering, with a slight lack of aroma and has just left the barrel...... It's probably in the 90 to 95 range. "The wines in this segment are already excellent. Of course, whether this wine can be scored at this stage is still up to a professional wine critic.

Speaking of which, Steve has worked at Park Geor Estate for decades. There have been fewer than five mass-produced wines in the 90 to 95 range, and other high-scoring wines have been made from high-quality grapes individually.

Once the wine was bottled, it was already late.

Leave the castle and walk slowly back to the top of the mountain.

"Judging by your expressions just now, wine seems to have a lot of knowledge?"

Ye Mo shrugged his shoulders and said, "Steve, they are experts in this area, but for ordinary people, it is best to choose wine that suits their taste. ”

Upstairs, Ellie blushed a little and asked, "Me, where do I sleep at night?" ”

Ye Mo smiled, didn't say a word, and pulled her back to her bedroom: "Of course I'm sleeping with you." ”

"However, I have a cold, and I will infect you......"

"Forget that I'm a doctor?"
