Yunding Ranch

Chapter 351 Winning by Quality
Hearing Jessica's ridicule, Tony also laughed brightly, put his hands on his waist, and said triumphantly, "That's, it's all thanks to me, isn't it?"

The first batch of wines from Yunding Winery can be so outstanding, and Tony is naturally the number one contributor.

Of course, looking at it a thousand or ten thousand steps back, it is still the same sentence. The quality of the wine has not been tested by experts, let alone officially recognized. All their guesses are just a dream in the mirror.It would be too early to celebrate now.

With a desert like Texas as the production area and a novice like Yunding as the winery, this bottle of wine is going to be famous, and it will be full of thorns.In the world of wine, there are many obstacles and layers of shackles, conservative and stubborn beyond imagination.They have only taken the first step now, the most difficult and most important step.

Seeing Tony's embarrassed appearance, Randy said angrily, "What about my credit? According to this, the organic farm will start to make money in the future, so you don't need to take credit for it?"

Organic farms and vineyards can almost be said to be dependent on each other and develop simultaneously. Tony and Randy have always helped each other. Now, when Randy teases like this, Tony is immediately discouraged and shows a flattering Smiling, he gave Randy a "hey" laugh twice, "Between good brothers, there is no need to distinguish so clearly."

Randy rubbed his chin, then raised his right fist and waved it at Tony. That disgusting gesture made everyone laugh.

"I don't know if the booth is open now?" A polite inquiry came from behind, Lu Li turned his head, and then saw two familiar faces, Vincent and Dwyane, from black ink printing factory.

"Good morning, Mr. Lu." Vincent still had that polite attitude.

"This is not a workplace, let's introduce ourselves formally. Fourteen." Lu Li stretched out his right hand to show his friendliness.

Before Vincent could respond, a figure rushed out from behind and grabbed Lu Li's right hand first, "Dwyane." The grinning and friendly expression easily made the corners of the mouth twitch.

Vincent was not in a hurry. After Lu Li and Dwyane had greeted each other, he shook Lu Li's right hand and politely introduced himself, "Vincent."

"You are really here." Lu Li showed a big smile. Vincent said earlier that they would come to the booth and taste the wine.Lu Li thought it was just a polite talk, but he didn't expect that they actually showed up.

"A promise is a promise." Vincent remained calm. To be honest, he didn't express much hope. Although the design of the label is eye-catching, it is only an external condition. What really determines the wine is, after all, Or something in a wine bottle.

While speaking, Dwyane was already standing in front of the booth, looking curiously at the colorful, full and bright booth in front of him, and he couldn't help but let out an exclamation deep in his throat, "Are you serious? This is a cowboy convention , or a rabbit hole? This is amazing, wow, you guys designed this all yourself?"

"Do I have to answer every person who comes here?" Randy was speechless for a while. He just thought that the arrangement of vegetables would look better in this way. As a result, everyone was asking and everyone was surprised.

"It's your part, isn't it a matter of course?" Jessica complained mercilessly, making Dwyane chuckle.

"You guys are so early? The exhibition hasn't started yet." Lu Li and Vincent continued their conversation, ignoring the commotion next to them.

Vincent shrugged slightly, "This is Texas, the only people who like to sleep in are alcoholics and/addicts/gentlemen."

Lu Li pursed his lips, "The same goes for New York." This was a dark humor, because in the Upper East Side of New York, after waking up, sleeping in the cage or sleeping in is a very popular way of life.

Vincent caught Lu Li's smile at once, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised. Although he didn't laugh out loud, he caught Lu Li's smile.This kind of conversation is much easier than Mark just now. "What's more, the show has already started."

Lu Li let out an "ah", turned his head, and then saw the gradually bustling scene in the exhibition.

It seems that one second ago, the entire exhibition was still in a state of preparation, and this second, the door has been opened, and tourists can be seen coming in one after another.Not too many for the time being, only less than a hundred people can be seen, but the temperature has begun to rise slowly, and people can gradually be seen stopping in front of the booths.

"Wow, no wonder people always say that when you're working, you can't feel the passage of time." Lu Li spread his hands, but Jessica, Cole and others beside him began to boo, "Cut"——this morning, Lu Li Been hanging out all the time, no work at all.

But Lu Li cast his gaze calmly, as if to say, "I have worked according to your requirements." This look made everyone burst into laughter.

Dwyane was focused on the cheese and didn't notice this little episode; Vincent noticed it, but he didn't care, and when Lu Li turned his gaze back, he slightly closed his jaw, "I'll come over here Here, there is a special trip to taste wine, so when can we start?"

Such an attitude is the same as when Lu Li went to the Black Ink Printing Factory. There was no politeness, no small talk, no social interaction, and he went straight to the point.

Different from the frail scholar's appearance, Vincent is still a Texan in his heart, a straightforward Texan.

"Now?" Lu Li intentionally raised the ending sound, expressing a skeptical attitude, but the smile on the corner of his mouth was teasing, and he looked down at the bottle of wine he just opened. There is less than a third of it left. A group of people can indeed drink.The new wine that has been fermented for less than two weeks has actually been drunk so much.

Afterwards, Lu Li poured two glasses of wine, and Tony eagerly looked at Lu Li again. His eyes could not express the meaning more clearly, but Lu Li shook his head, "I've just worked all day today. Let's get started." Could it be that every guest who comes to taste, they also have to have a drink?The wine for tasting is probably not enough.

Tony sighed depressingly, drooped his shoulders, but didn't say anything more, just looked at Lu Li resentfully.

"Dwyane." Lu Li picked up a glass of wine and handed it to Dwyane. Vincent had already picked up the glass, but he didn't rush to taste it. Instead, he lowered his head and sniffed the aroma first.

Dwyane didn't do that, he patted the cheese next to him, and asked expectantly, "Can I use some cheese to go with it?"

Cheese is always the best partner with wine.The reason why Mark and others didn’t use it just now is because for wine tasting, they need to taste the original taste of the wine and feel every detail in the wine. If it is paired with cheese, the flavor will be subtle. Change, it has an effect.

In other words, Mark and others are more professional, what they need is identification; while Dwyane is more life-like, what he needs is delicious food.

"Of course." When Lu Li was about to serve, Jessica waved her hand, indicating that she could handle it, and then started to get busy.

Looking back, Lu Li saw that Vincent had already tasted the first sip of wine. He was obviously not as professional as Mark, so naturally he didn't have to worry about it.

Compared with Mark and others just now, the tension has eased slightly, but it still makes people look forward to it.After all, after getting good reviews, expectations can't help but start to rise.

Vincent groaned in a low voice, "Hmm...hum...interesting." Vincent nodded lightly, "This wine is too young. The tannins are too strong, almost covering up the flavor inside, but Surprisingly, it's very easy to enter. It's very layered. Well, this is really rare."

"So?" Lu Li showed an expectant look.

"I don't like it." Vincent's conclusion stunned Lu Li, and then Dwyane's voice came from beside him, "I don't like it either."

Now, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay. After the praise from Mark and others just now, the sudden bad reviews really caught people off guard.

Surprises and happiness were so overwhelming that they all forgot one thing: wine is like everything else, everyone has their own likes and preferences, there are so many different kinds of wine in the world, even Burger Burgundy's Pinot Noir is not everyone's favorite.

Dwyane stabbed a piece of cheese, matched it, took another sip, and wrinkled his whole face. The exaggerated expression was even a little funny, which made people laugh, "It's better, but... I still don't like it."

Vincent nodded in agreement, "This bottle of wine is too young. It must be fermented for at least a few years before it can be eaten and the flavor can come out. Maybe, after five years, I will like it, but now, no, I Didn't like it at all."

After finishing speaking, Vincent noticed the relieved expressions of everyone around him. He also realized the ambiguity of what he said just now, and pursed the corners of his mouth, "This is an excellent bottle of wine, there is no doubt about it. But, Now is not the right time."

The right wine can only be perfect if tasted at the right time.That's what it means to enjoy the time limit.

"Phew, I'm really relieved." Lu Li smiled again. He was indeed a little impatient, and always wanted to reach the goal in one go, sweeping away thousands of troops to reach the goal.

But now he finally remembered, this is Texas, a Texas that doesn't like wine very much.Therefore, today's exhibition, and the next few days, they will encounter more challenges.Professionals like Mark and others are definitely rare, and there may even be a whole day of exhibitions, and there are only a few of them.

Letting out a long breath, Lu Li straightened his mind and relaxed, "Dwyane, if you don't like it, stop drinking it. There's no need to force yourself like this."

Dwyane waved his hand, threw another piece of cheese into his mouth, and took another sip, "I think it's still good with cheese. I don't know why, but I can't stop."

Lu Li spread his hands, "I will take this as a compliment."
