70 After listening to the test questions, Lawrence walked to the champagne area with a smile, touched the champagne bottle lightly, then turned around and said to Jiang Tianlei: "A top sommelier must first be a gourmet, not only must he have a certain knowledge of food.
To know, you also need to have a certain familiarity and understanding of the person who cooks the food, their cooking techniques, and food preferences. The old chef’s crabmeat and caviar today, if I guessed correctly, must have avocado, cherry tomatoes,
Mango, fresh crab meat, mayonnaise, chives..."
Jiang Tianlei frowned slightly, and seeing Lawrence so confident, he smiled in disbelief and said, "Are you so sure?"
"I'm sure..." Lawrence said with a smile, then turned around, his eyes hesitated for a moment among the many champagnes with noble green bottles, and then continued: "In traditional restaurants, guests will choose Russian or Polish ones.
Vodka is paired with top-quality caviar, because the stimulating taste of vodka paired with caviar will give you a feeling of romance and adventure. However, I am French and I always pay attention to the balance of food and do not like the stimulating vodka and caviar itself.
It tastes like art, so I would choose a champagne with light sweetness..."
After he finished speaking, he raised his hand and took the white gloves sent to him by the head waiter Sally. The old man put on the white gloves himself, as if he had transformed from the president's guest to a member of the hotel.
Putting the gloves into the old but tough palms, he turned around with a smile, looked at Sally and said with a smile: "Let me test you..."
When Sally heard this, she immediately became nervous, her respiratory tract was a little blocked, and her face turned pale with fright. She was afraid that Lawrence would ask her some difficult questions in front of the CEO, but she did not dare to say more, so she immediately nodded and responded calmly: "Yes.
!”
Tang Kexin, who was outside the wine area, also widened her eyes and turned her head slightly to listen to Lawrence's question...
Lawrence finally put on his white gloves, turned around, and looked at the various champagnes, starting from light gold, to straw yellow, amber, and the very special pink champagne. While slowly browsing the various champagnes, he asked
: “What does Champagne pay attention to regarding its vintage?”
Chen Manhong and Cao Yingjie immediately looked at Sha Li nervously, especially Chen Manhong. They gritted their teeth and tightened their ten green fingers, thinking that if she couldn't answer, they would cut her throat!
Jiang Tianlei also raised his head slightly, with a slightly serious face! There are two types of age and vintage champagne! Non-vintage champagne... refers to the fact that there is no year marked on the wine label. It is made from wines of different years. Generally, this kind of non-vintage fragrant brown
, the freedom of brewing method can guarantee various styles of champagne production. [&] However, vintage champagne means that there is a year mark on the wine label, which means that it can only be brewed with grapes of the same year. Because of this
The grapes of the year are affected by various weather factors, so you cannot make a fixed style of champagne, and the taste will change depending on the year!”
Chen Manhong and Cao Yingjie immediately heaved a sigh of relief.
A satisfied smile appeared in Jiang Tianlei's eyes.
After hearing this, Lawrence smiled slightly and said, "Generally, vintage champagne is only brewed in that year?"
Sally raised her head and looked at Lawrence a little nervously, but she frowned, bit her lower lip, and tried hard to think about the vintage of the champagne that each sommelier selected from this restaurant, but no matter how she thought about it, she couldn't
Can't think of it...
Lawrence waits for her...
Jiang Tianlei also turned his face slightly and looked at her intently.
Sally wants to cry...
Chen Manhong stared at Sha Li, this useless thing!
Lawrence looked at Sally like this and knew the answer. Maybe it was embarrassing her, so he said with interest: "Let the staff in charge of the wine room come in and answer it? Whoever can answer it, I will reward you!"
