After getting off the plane in San Francisco at noon, the three of them didn't bother Sara, and they didn't plan to stop in San Francisco anyway.

I found a casual restaurant to deal with, rented an Escalade from a car rental company, and the three of them drove all the way to the vineyard. This is the second time the little girl has gone far away, and there is still some novelty, along the way, she keeps raising her little fat hand and asking some strange questions.

Arriving at the vineyard, it was already more than two o'clock in the afternoon, Angel sat on the children's chair, dangling her calves, looking at the rows of grapevines not far away, and Susa, who was sitting in the co-pilot, was also looking around, but found that the vineyard was not as romantic as imagined.

It's similar to farmland, except for the grass on the side of the road, the square grape fields are full of one-person tall grape vines, each row is spaced 1.5 apart, there is no characteristic, let alone any scenery.

Without stopping, Qin Yi drove directly to the winery,

Susa felt that this place was quite pleasing to the eye, a huge grape trellis in the yard covered the sky overhead, and some branches were sparsely hung down, and walking underneath had a very quiet and dusty feeling.

The grapes here have not yet been picked, and they are hanging in bunches, and they are as clear as big black pearls.

Qin Yi took off the big backpack containing the clothes, and then drove the car into the garage, Susa walked under the grape trellis with Angel in her arms, and the little girl stretched out her little fat hand to row over the vines, smiling happily.

Passing by a bunch of grapes, I grabbed one and stuffed it into my mouth, but as soon as I took a bite, my originally smiling little face suddenly became bitter, grinning, and I looked like I was about to cry.

"Oh, my poor darling!" Sousa smiled comfortingly, "Isn't it sour?" It's okay, do you see that trash can, shall we throw it in? ”

The little girl grinned and nodded violently.

Sousa took two quick steps in her arms and watched her drop the grapes into it. Wipe her mouth again.

At this time, Qin Yi came out of the garage, and Angel hurriedly pouted and begged for comfort: "Uncle Yi, the little grapes are so sour, not delicious!" ”

"Ha, this is for winemaking, you can't eat it, I'll ask someone to buy some delicious food later." Qin Yi's fingers touched the little girl's face, then took her little hand and lifted the big backpack into the house. Sousa followed, continuing to look as she went.

The decoration of the house is not as luxurious as the ranch owner's house, but it is simple and elegant, rich in connotation, and the pastoral atmosphere of the main house are two different styles.

Susa chose a room and took the little girl in to clean up, and Qin Yi called Old Pete.

After a while, Old Pete drove the broken Toyota over, and the two chatted for a while, and Qin Yi took out a bottle of fruit wine from his backpack. He poured a small half cup for old Pete and motioned for him to taste it.

Old Pete didn't know what he meant, but the smell of the wine made people eager to taste it!

Hold it up to the tip of your nose and sniff it. I closed my eyes and felt it, shook my head slightly, and was a little intoxicated, after a while. Only then take a small sip to let the wine melt on the tip of the tongue and feel the taste of fruit wine.

Qin Yi also poured some of it himself. While drinking to see his reaction, he nodded in his heart, he is worthy of being a person who has dealt with winemaking all his life, although he has been a worker all his life, but this wine tasting kung fu is definitely far beyond ordinary people!

Old Pete didn't speak, he drank it slowly, the amount of a few sips of a small half cup was drunk by him for a few minutes, Qin Yi was not in a hurry, the more professional this old man behaved, the more assured he was to hand over the steps of late fermentation and maturation of the wine to him.

After all, he can't stay in the vineyard for a long time, and the fermentation cycle of authentic wines is two to four weeks, and maturation is also in oak barrels, which also takes a while, and he can't stay here all the time.

"What kind of wine is this, sir?" Old Pete finally finished the wine, sat up straight and asked, looking a little excited, "This is the best wine I've ever drunk, and those high-end works should be thrown into the trash compared to this wine!" ”

"I said, this is the fruit wine I made, do you believe it?" The old god Qin Yi was lying on the sofa, looking at Old Pete with a smile.

"Sir's wine?" Old Pete was stunned, a little unexpected, the old guy shook his head and sighed: "This is really unbelievable! Oh, sorry, I mean, I thought only old men like me could make such a good wine! ”

Qin Yi shrugged his shoulders, he didn't care, believe it or not, he brewed it himself, and if he wanted to drink it, he had to find himself!

Suddenly, Old Pete remembered the purpose of Qin Yi's coming this time, and immediately asked with some expectation: "So, sir, are you going to make wine of this quality this time?" ”

"Of course, that's what I bought the vineyard for."

"Oh my! Could it be that a new world-class wine is about to be born? Or in the vineyard where I have worked all my life! Right under my nose! Old Pete danced and looked forward to it, now he already has some faith in Qin Yi's winemaking skills, otherwise who would joke about this kind of thing, unless he wants to become a laughing stock in the wine field!

"Would you like another drink, old Pete?" Qin Yi asked him with half a bottle of fruit wine in his hand.

"Of course, of course! I want to thank you, sir, otherwise I would never have drunk this wine for the rest of my life! ”

"I can't stay for a few days, the later fermentation and maturation still depend on you to grasp, be optimistic about this batch of wine, and there will be endless wines to drink in the future!"

"Me?" Old Pete, who was about to pour wine into his mouth, was a meal after listening to Qin Yi's words, and he was a little unconfident, so many varieties of wine that may be very high, if he was messed up by himself, he couldn't afford to kill him!

"You only need to judge its taste and aroma, nothing else, remember, taste and aroma!" Qin Yi instructed seriously.

Taste and aroma

Old Pete muttered a few words, and when he heard that it was that simple, he nodded hesitantly, "Yes, sir, I remember, as soon as there is a situation, I will report it to you!" ”

"Old Pete, if you succeed this time, you will also participate in the brewing of this fine wine, and when this wine is famous all over the world, you will also become famous, and maybe, you can go down in history!"

Qin Yi felt that he should still fool this old man, maybe this would make him more attentive, and when brewing, he would definitely operate in strict accordance with his own requirements.

Sure enough, old Pete was suddenly a little excited, and asked for confirmation in disbelief: "Is it, sir, can I really leave my name in the history books?" ”

Qin Yi smiled and nodded, but this expression gave Old Pete a lot of confidence, if the wine produced can really reach one-fifth of the wine in the glass, no, one-tenth, it is also the best in the wine, and it is worth his hard work!

After he drank the fruit wine in the cup, Qin Yi went upstairs and called Susa and Angel to come down, and after some introduction, several people came to the fermentation area dozens of meters away, this batch of grapes is here, and the preparations for screening and breaking the skin have been completed, and they can enter the stage of soaking and fermentation at any time.

Qin Yi and the others followed Old Pitt to visit the production workshop, and then he instructed Old Pitt to arrange for the workers to load the prepared grapes into the fermentation tank, and then he returned to the winery with Sousa and Angel.

Old Pete is scratching his head, and the boss is making wine like this?

Don't you need any ratios, hands-on operations, secret recipes or something?

However, he only muttered a few words in his heart, he knew very well that if the task assigned to him by Qin Yi was completed, even if he did his job well, he didn't need to care about the rest.

Naturally, there is a secret recipe, and in the evening, Qin Yi came to the fermentation workshop alone, and then, added a drop of spiritual spring water to each of the seventy percent of the fermentation tower, five drops to each of the two percent of the fermentation tower, and ten drops of each to the remaining half of the fermentation tower.

This also made Qin Yi feel very distressed, every drop of this is precious, rich in pure aura, experiments have been done in the pasture, a drop is diluted into hundreds of bottles, and the concentration of aura is not lower than that of fruit wine!

After he finished his work, he patted the fermentation tower and waited for a month to taste it!

Since then, the main purpose of this visit to the vineyard has been completed. (To be continued......)
