Yunding Ranch

Chapter 261 The ultimate enjoyment
Tasting wine is a very interesting thing. There are three kinds of red wine and three kinds of white wine. It's an easy task, but the process of exploration itself is very interesting, and people can't help but slow down and savor it bit by bit.

"This is La Tahi!" Tony was so excited that his voice began to tremble slightly. La Tahi is almost as famous as Romanee-Conti, and the vines are La Tahi from the same blood relationship. This is undoubtedly Romani. -In addition to the signature of Kande Winery, the most expensive and precious wine.

Lu Li first rinsed his mouth with water to eliminate the smell of alcohol in his mouth before he began to taste it.But even so, his senses were a little dull - he tasted five different wines, although he only drank half a glass of each, but the strength of the wine gradually increased, and his sense of taste seemed to be less sensitive.

Accidentally, Lu Li swallowed it directly.

It seems that I drank too much today, not only my sense of taste is a little dull, but also my cheeks are starting to feel slightly hot, as if I'm a little tipsy.

Nick noticed the change in Lu Li, and couldn't help laughing, "So when we were testing the wine, we tried to avoid drinking it all, but chose to spit it out. After all, at dinner, we can only drink two kinds of wine at most. Three different wines, more often just one.”

While speaking, Brandon hiccupped, with a rare bright smile on his face, full of happiness, and nodded to Nick, "This is good wine, really good wine." Brandon is really too abnormal, but people can't help but smile along with him.

Lu Li didn't have time to take care of Brandon, so he said, "Wow, it's really good..." Lu Li tried hard to find an accurate adjective, but found that this was not an easy task. Compared with the rich aroma in the mouth and the taste just now, the aftertaste is really lingering, "light. It's really light."

For those ordinary wines, the astringency brought by strong tannins actually affects the taste very much, and there will be a feeling of dry mouth; and the taste of alcohol will be relatively strong.Therefore, I always subconsciously want to find cheese and refine the taste.

But the bottle of Lataxi that Lu Li is tasting now has a very smooth mouthfeel, flowing like silk on the tip of the tongue, and the astringency of the tannins is very light, making the sour feeling a kind of enjoyment; The lingering fragrance is so strong, sweet fruity and strong mineral flavor, people can't help but smash their lips, as if to search for traces of alcohol again.

Unable to bear it, Lu Li took another sip.

This time, Lu Li didn't swallow it immediately, but tasted it slowly.The mellow sensuality diffused between the teeth, the aroma of alcohol and the sweetness of grapes exploded in the mouth, just like a fireworks display on the Fourth of July, the beauty in it was really intoxicating.

No wonder people always say that you can only feel the essence of alcohol if you have really tasted high-end wine.Whiskey is like this, wine is like this, in fact, so is beer.

"Wow." This was the only thought on Lu Li's mind right now, so he couldn't help but close his eyes, picked up his glass, and took another big sip, just like Brandon, immersed in the wonderful taste, without any words, Not only because the language is too pale to describe its beauty; but also because the language is too cumbersome, what is needed now is to shut up and enjoy it.

"How about it, [-] euros for a bottle of Latahi, what do you guys think?" Nick held the wine glass in his hand, his brows were filled with pride and arrogance, and he was smiling all over his face.

"It's nice to have money." Tony's exclamation made Nick laugh lowly, and even Brandon, who was standing beside him, nodded again and again.

If it wasn't for Lu Li, the two of them wouldn't have had the chance to taste such a top-notch red wine, let alone enter a winery like Romanee-Conti.Even if it's not Romanee-Conti, it's just Latahi, it's just the wine they saw on TV and newspapers, and they can't drink it if they want to.

"I was thinking, if you choose any kind of food and pair it with La Tahi, it would be a pity to have wine." Lu Li asked another question curiously, and he really was a foodie.

Chinese/Chinese cuisine is relatively less particular about wine matching—of course, the main reason is that Chinese/Chinese cuisine itself uses rice wine, white wine and other alcohol in a variety of ways during the cooking process. .Therefore, Lu Li's understanding of food and wine pairing is still at the olive garden stage.

Nick showed a sympathetic expression, "French cuisine, we usually choose snails or duck breast. Of course, the key point is still up to the chef. If you are willing to go to a Michelin restaurant, I believe their waiters will give you the right answer." Recommendation." From the initial conversation between the two of them just now, it can be seen that Nick is also a foodie, "However, our Romanée-Conti has several wines that are very popular besides La Tahi. If you can stay in Burgundy for a few more days, I can introduce some good restaurants.”

"I've heard that there are many top restaurants in France, not in the cities, but in the hidden corners of the countryside." Lu Li remembered that he had watched several food movies before, and they all had similar introductions. Make a special drive to these remote areas just to be able to enjoy the real food.

"Here, food and wine are part of our life." Nick nodded affirmatively, and his eyes lit up as he spoke.

"It's the same in China." Lu Li's answer made Nick laugh heartily. The two chatted about food and lost track of time before they knew it.

Compared with wine, China's rice wine, baijiu, rice wine, etc. are not well-known in the world. Most of the time, they only know Erguotou.

Listening to Lu Li's description of the taste of rice wine, Nick was eager to try it. He wished he could sit down and have a drink with Lu Li that night, and taste the authentic rice wine; Lu Li also thought about whether he should drive to a nearby place tonight. Go to the countryside for real food and wine.

There are many different ways to enjoy life, the important thing is to know how to relax yourself and discover the trivial happiness around you.A glass of red wine, a piece of steak, and a moment of leisure are enough.

Nick then picked up the wine bottle again and poured half of Lu Li's glass, "How is your drinking capacity? If you get drunk, we have a special rest room at the back, where you can lie down and rest for a while."

"Tasting a glass of good wine and allowing yourself to linger in a slightly drunk state for a while is the most beautiful thing." Lu Li picked up the wine glass, just smelling the mellow aroma of the wine, he felt a burst of satisfaction, "However, you don't have to Worry about me, I think he is the one who needs to worry most."

Brandon, who was sitting across from him, had flushed cheeks, a confused smile on his face, and his body was shaking slightly, as if he was dancing with the force of alcohol.None of them expected that Brandon was the worst drinker.

Seeing Brandon's gesture, Tony and Lu Li couldn't help laughing.

Lu Li picked up the wine glass and didn't follow those tedious steps. He just closed his eyes, put the glass under his nose, and quietly felt the faint aroma, which was as smooth as silk, flowing on his lips, as if the whole body They were all wrapped up in it, and the arc of the corner of the mouth rose up involuntarily.

Taking a sip, the rich and mellow alcohol swirled on the tip of his tongue, and the faint fragrance was like petals blooming on the taste buds. In a trance, he could even feel the vines growing vigorously under the sun, and the hard sweat falling on the thick The smell above the soil, the smell full of spring breath, makes people intoxicated.

For the first time, Lu Li really felt the beauty of food.Not only the pure taste of food, but also the sweat in the process of growing the food, and the growth and growth of the food in nature, this is one of the tastes of food.

Therefore, although the food produced by processing plants and assembly lines is in line with the fast consumption in the fast food era, it also loses the essence and essence hidden in the food.

What's even more regrettable is that people are beginning to take it for granted, because the pace of life is getting faster and faster, and they don't have time to make, process, and taste slowly.A simple sandwich, a simple salad, and a lunch in just 15 minutes can make their work more efficient.Therefore, no one pursues whether the vegetables are grown in a greenhouse, and no one cares whether the ingredients are cultivated with hard work...

Like, no one cares if the wine is made drop by sweat.

The ultimate enjoyment brought by this cup of latashi makes the mood soar slightly.

"This is really bliss." Lu Li sighed softly, with a look of enjoyment on his face, "It seems that I will definitely buy a box and take it home." But before he finished speaking, Lu Li was stunned, "Wait a minute , These wines, can't you buy them even if you have money?"

Lu Li suddenly remembered, this is the number one winery in Burgundy, just like what Tony said at the beginning, this is not just any place where you can't get in if you have money, and you can't buy it if you have money. Romanée-Conti Winery - the output of this vineyard is really too little.

Nick looked at Lu Li, who was astonished, and couldn't help laughing, "If it's Romanee-Conti, then there's nothing you can do. But for Latahi, you can still buy it, and you can also buy wine from several other wineries. If you want, you can go to the store upstairs to choose."

"Fourteen!" Tony was so excited that his voice began to tremble.This kind of red wine is really too expensive and too precious. If you can take a case back to the ranch... just imagining it will make people excited.

"I'm not the girl of your dreams, don't shout so affectionately." Lu Li gave Tony a disgusted look, making everyone chuckle.
