() The next day.

Ye Mo followed Steve to the vineyard to pick grapes.

The grapes grown in the same land are still the same variety, and Ye Mo really can't see whether they understand it well or badly.

Ye Mo humbly asked, and Steve explained quite complacently: "Experience, this is experience." ”

"Look at the white fine powder on the skin of the grapes. It looks the same, but if you look closely, you can still see the difference, this layer of white powder is the original yeast of the grape......"

"In addition to the production of alcohol, there are other by-products of the fermentation process. For example, glycerin, vinegar...... Glycerin makes wine more round and sweet, and the original yeast contains enzymes that produce vinegar, and the fermentation process produces a variety of different vinegar substances at the same time. Vinegar is one of the important reasons for the aroma of wine. Alcohol and acids are used to produce other vinegar substances, which affect the aroma of the wine. Tannins are a blend of them......"

Steve, an ambitious winemaker, struggled to make his experiments work.

Ye Mo's full support also made Steve have to do his best. If Park Ge Winery wants to make a splash again, it can only come up with new wines that belong to Park Ge and have excellent taste.

This is a trial work, but if it achieves the desired success, it will be converted into a finished product in the following year. The vineyard has been determined to reduce the production plan, and the quality of the grapes here will only get better and better, thinking of these Steves is in a good mood, and jokes with Ye Mo: "Don't underestimate a layer of primitive yeast, it is the culprit that produces the aroma of red wine......"

Listening to Steve's story, Ye Mo has gained a lot of knowledge. Different varieties of grapes are fermented and develop different aromas under the influence of the original yeast. Like Château Petrid in Bordeaux, according to Steve, the 1998 Château de Patrick has a rich deep purple color with complex aromas of black fruits, caramel, mocha and vanilla, and is pure, concentrated, full-bodied and has a long-lasting finish. The final tannins are diluted by a hint of acidity, which turns into sweetness in the mouth, but retains a sense of heaviness. Taken together, this Patri becomes a mythical piece.

The value of a red wine is mainly evaluated by its aroma, taste, and thickness. White wines are mainly judged by their aroma and taste.

Ye Mo drank the most popular red wine, and the good red wine was too expensive, and he was reluctant. After Steve's words, Ye Mo immediately felt itchy and asked, "How does Bai Ge Five Star taste?" ”

Steve seemed to enter the memory, reveling, and said, "You can't imagine how delicious it is without tasting it yourself." ”

Ye Mo snapped his fingers and said, "Do you want to taste it again?" ”

"Of course. If you're willing to do it. Steve was still so shameless and said with a smile: "King Cabernet Sauvignon is best enjoyed with top-quality beef." In fact, I'm pretty good at frying steaks. ”

"Old fellow." Ye Mo smiled.

When it was almost noon, Ye Mo went to the restaurant to get a quick top snowflake beef, called Kevin by the way, and went to the top of the mountain together.

The busiest person in the harvest festival is Kevin, who is also tired.

Following behind Ye Mo with Steve, Kevin couldn't help but ask, "Old Steve, do you have any new work arrangements for us when the boss summons?" It's only been two days of comfort......"

Steve laughed, "You workaholic. Come along, it's a good thing. ”

Back at the top of the hill, White Dot and the princess are chasing gold bars in the yard. The little thing is also stupid, he doesn't know how to climb a tree, so he chased and ran away for a long time, and when he saw Ye Mo coming back, the gold bar ran to Ye Mo with a look of grievance, and the little paw pointed at the white spot and sued them.

Ye Mo handed the beef to Steve, calmed the gold bars, and then went to the cellar.

The 1992 Park Ge Five-Star Red Wine was already covered with dust. After bringing it out, Kevin was stunned at first, and then immediately reacted, and said, "You are really generous, no wonder Steve's old face is twisted into a chrysanthemum with a smile." ”

"I just listened to Steve's talk about the top red wines, and my heart itched." Ye Mo said with a smile and opened the red wine: "Everyone has been busy during this time, and it is also a reward." ”

Steve put the beef in the fridge and took the decanter on the cabinet.

This 1992 Pak Ge 5 Star has not yet reached its maturity stage, and the tannins are heavier, so it takes at least one to two hours to pour into the decanter. To put it bluntly, the cork is opened, and the wine is poured into the decanter to promote the oxidation of the wine, soften the tannins, and let it exude the aroma and beauty it should have.

Ye Mo asked everyone not to be restrained, in fact, the two of them were not restrained.

Sitting on the sofa and chatting about work, Bai Ge's treasure hunt is basically over, and all the treasure keys have been found, but they are scattered in the hands of different people. The rest of the story has nothing to do with Park Song, as long as you can collect 10 keys, anyone can open the safe at the Citi branch in San Francisco and take the treasure.

"By the way, what exactly is the ultimate treasure?" This question has been in the hearts of the two for a long time, and now that the treasure hunt of Bai Ge has basically ended, they can't help but ask.

"Some of the gold and silver coins from the nineteenth century in my collection. It's not a rare thing. Ye Mo smiled, and felt a gold coin in his pocket like a trick.

"Squeak!"

The gold bar suddenly jumped up, bit the gold coin in Ye Mo's hand, and then put it on the ground and rubbed it with his head.

"You little thing."

Ye Mo smiled and withdrew the gold coin.

The gold bar shouted twice in dissatisfaction, and then ran out without looking back.

Gold Bars are not stingy people and don't run away from home for such a small thing. Looking at the time, Ye Mo reminded: "Steve, it's time for you to do it." ”

“OK。 Look at mine. ”

"By the way, I want a five-ripe steak."

Snowflake beef is a premium type of beef. According to the eating habits of Europeans and Americans, it is generally only cooked in three layers.

The beef was ready, and everyone sat down.

Steve and Kevin are both connoisseurs of red wine, and Ye Mo also learned from them to shake the wine glass, and then stop tasting it.

This is a typical Imperial Cabernet Sauvignon dry red, with an opaque purplish red colour that can be seen on the tip of the nose against the glass, with marmalade blackcurrants and subtle toasted oak aromas.

During the tasting, Steve also explained that the wine received five stars because of its striking resemblance to the famous '1992 Whistling Eagle Cabernet Sauvignon'. It's just that the fruity aroma is slightly inferior, but the taste is richer and more intense, so it can be said that each has its own merits. After three years of ageing in oak barrels, the multi-substance reaches an extreme homogeneity and ripeness. The astringency of the tannins is almost masked by the voluminous flavor and extraordinary richness. The full-bodied wine is very pure, fermented in the mouth, and after it spreads, it leaves a fruity aftertaste, sweet, as if it were a little creamy, and finally turns into a pure blackcurrant fruity aroma.

After a drink, Steve and Kevin looked intoxicated.

Ye Mo does not have a deep study of red wine, so naturally he does not have the taste experience of the two, but he only thinks that it is a good wine and moisturizes the mouth. First a short sweet sensation is felt on the tip of the tongue, then a salty and slightly sour taste on the sides of the tongue, and finally a little bitterness.

Bitterness, a moderate amount of astringency is a treat for wine lovers. But it's too much.

This bitterness quickly dissipates, leaving behind an indescribable fruity aroma with a long aftertaste in the mouth.

Take a sip of red wine and cut a small piece of beef.

The indulgence of the taste buds is at its extreme. Ye Mo slowly found his senses, and he could roughly distinguish the subtleties between top dry wines and high-end red wines. Compared with the red wine that you usually drink, the taste of Bai Ge Five Star is better, fruity, and the aftertaste is longer.
