Blue Depth is Angela's family business.

Ye Mo couldn't help but look at Mike, and saw that he was also shocked, obviously not knowing this.

This made Mike feel a little inferior, and asked, "What about ...... I ......"

Everyone looked at him, and Mike squeaked for a long time, looked at Angela, and said, "Are you a noble lady?" How could you fall in love with me, a black man. ”

Angela naturally grabbed Mike's arm and chuckled, "You didn't ask me, and I didn't say it." My family is like that, and all the assets are not as large as this friend of yours. I'm not a family heir, let alone a nobleman. I like your brown and black, and my skin looks particularly fair with you. ”

"Well, then I'm much better." Mike rubbed his head and smirked.

"Don't worry. I can make my own decisions. No one would object. ”

When Ellie heard Angela's words, she couldn't help but look at Ye Mo, took his arm a little harder, and said, "You mum?" You should come from a big family in China. Stay with me......"

Ye Mo smiled, lowered his head and asked Ellie's forehead, and said, "I'm not from a big family. There are no worries either. ”

"I can testify to this. Ye Mo and I used to be vine growers, and we were discriminated against because of our skin color. Mike habitually bumped fists with Ye Mo and said, "Ye Mo and I are both good men in the world." ”

"Pompous." Angela couldn't help but laugh.

"I don't know if Mike is a good man, but I definitely is." Ye Mo said, taking Ellie's hand and entering the passage on the third floor.

The space on the third floor is even more spacious, and the old oak wine shelves have changed color and show a quaint color. Twenty meters underground, the smell of decaying oak can still be smelled in the humid air, although there is a circulating ventilation system with activated carbon.

It's still an old light bulb, with dim light, old-fashioned Mauser spears and some primitive winemaking tools hanging on the walls, giving the lowest cellar a taste of timeless vicissitudes. In fact, this cellar is indeed a few years old. The century-old winery has changed hands many times, and the only thing that remains is this cellar. The castle was built in 1952 with a castle and a two-storey cellar, the third of which was excavated by the first owner of the Château Parker and is not on the same façade as the first and second cellars.

The location of the kasbah is close to the Vaca Mountains, the third cellar is even closer to the mountains, and twenty meters underground is already limestone. The original owner of the winery must have taken a fancy to the limestone here, and the cellar was dug very deep. Limestone wine cellars can be said to be natural wine reservoirs.

At the beginning, the first generation of owners took great pains to dig the cellar, which cost a lot of financial resources, which shows their ambition. However, a small earthquake shortly after the completion of the cellar diverted a small stream in the Vaca Mountains.

It's a small stream, and it doesn't have much effect on the cellar. But in the decades that followed, the Napa Valley government organized the digging of a pond for irrigation in the No. 3 appellation, bringing in a new source of water, now known as Karls Lake.

Before 1940, Park Ge Estate was quite famous in Napa Valley. But after that, the lake gradually formed, and the infiltrating groundwater changed the environment of the cellar. The cellar has become colder and damper, and it is no longer functional.

The cellar has a constant temperature of 8.5°C, which does not exceed 9°C in summer and does not fall below 8°C in the coldest part of winter. The humidity is relatively high, reaching 85 percent. This environment is not conducive to the aging of the wine and can make it take a long time to mature.

But when it came to Steve's master's generation, they regarded it as a treasure. By chance, white wines made from Viognier grapes seemed to be well adapted to the environment. The Viognier grapes are extremely fragrant, with intense aromas of apricots, peaches and other fruits. Fermentation in oak barrels also produces flavors such as vanilla, sweet wood, and toasting......

Viognier wines have an unforgettable aroma, but unfortunately the acidity is too low to last long. But here, the natural low temperature and humidity can give it more time to grow, so that the wine is further plumped and the aroma is further refined. After blending, it can also increase its shelf life.

Unfortunately, Viognier's production is so small that Château Paco now has only 113 pieces left. Even in blends, less than 200 bottles of Viognier wine are produced each year. Every year, Viognier wines are booked by the winery members before they are bottled. No more than 50 bottles are kept each year, and these wines are placed in this ancient cellar to mature before being auctioned......

Along the dark, damp passageway, the wine racks on both sides were dusty. In the middle of the cellar is a large space in the shape of a barrel, which is even darker.

Wine cellars where wine is stored are generally very dark, especially for white and sparkling wines. If it is constantly exposed to light, the wine will develop a light taste, which is a taste that is incompatible with the wine itself. Generally speaking, red wine bought in the supermarket has a light smell, and in many cases, it has a rubbery taste, which makes people can't swallow it.

The round walls are densely packed with wines. Most of the wines are fully ripe, and the low temperature environment can slow down the aging rate of the wine. There are also pillars erected in the cellar, which are dim and unclear, and eerie and cold, like the castle lair depicted in the movie.

Steve explains the history of this cellar and introduces the wines inside.

With the exception of the Viognier blend, which is not introduced, the average age of the other wines is over 13 years old. Most of them are ripe wines, and the rest are aging.

In addition to the taste, what is more important is the feelings. Although Park Song Winery has a history of 100 years, it really has no feelings to speak of. For one, it is only slightly known in the Napa Valley, and by the way, it is now well-known in the United States. However, that's not what wine should be known for.

Angela was not interested in wines that had passed the peak of aging, but looked at wines that were in their prime. There are more than 3,000 bottles of wine at the peak of aging, ranging from the cheapest to $55 a bottle and the most expensive to $288. Wines that have reached the peak of their ageing potential will also lose their collectible value. But this is the most in-demand wine for this formal high-end restaurant......

Ye Mo didn't know the price of wine here, so the business was left to Steve, who knew the price of wine well.

"This is the best wine on your winery?" Angela asked, picking up an '82 year old Cabernet Sauvignon.

"This 82 Cabernet Sauvignon has passed its prime, but it has not yet fully aged. It's a great place to use as a decoration in a dining room......" Steve said, avoiding the question.

"It's been a few years, but what I need is treasures. To make people's eyes light up...... "Angela was not satisfied with the wine here, and wondered if the information she found was correct, and turned her head to look at Ye Mo and them.

Ye Mo is taking them on a tour and making some brief introductions.

"This is a golden tulip, what are the names of the others? They all look beautiful! ”
