Chapter 365 During the wine tasting [Wings of Dream Skyline
In addition to the wines produced by his own winery, Liu Ming's wine cellar also has a Liu Ming collection wine cellar that collects many famous wines. Unfortunately, although Li Han has recently dabbled in wine, he is not a qualified sommelier.
.
Liu Ming opened a bottle of 1996 Château Ygan wine, poured a glass and handed it to Li Han. "Chateau Lussalus is famous for its "noble rot sweet wine" that has been stored for a long time and has become sweeter after hundreds of years."
This is a 1996 wine launched in 2001, and Robert Parker gave it a hundred points. You must know that there is no wine in China that has received Parker's evaluation."
Chateau Yquem, also known as Château de Lysalus, is the only first-class winery in the world, surpassing the five first-class wineries of Lafite, Latour, Margaux, Rouge and Mouton. Perhaps it is not the most famous in the world.
It is indeed a wine that wine lovers are persistently pursuing. It is said that the Chateau de Lusalus can be stored for at least 100 years. It is definitely a beauty with eternal charm. Li Han took a sip and there was indeed a strange aroma. Unfortunately, Liu Ming
Not much here.
“Really good.”
Li Han sat down and looked at Liu Ming's private collection. There were many red wines from Screaming Eagle Winery, and Screaming Eagle Cabernet Sauvignon was the most popular. Liu Ming saw Li Han staring at the Cabernet Sauvignon and said with a smile, "This wine
Although the taste is not the best, the price is not cheap.”
A box of nine bottles cost nearly US$25,000, and the price was beyond Li Han's imagination. "Most of the red wines from Screaming Eagle Winery are collected by businesses, which is a pity." Liu Ming shook his head slightly, opened a bottle, poured a glass and handed it to Li Han.
.
Li Han was a little hesitant about this dry red wine that cost more than 2,000 US dollars. After sipping a little, it tasted pretty good. But he couldn’t tell what was good about it. Li Han was attracted to this bottle of Chateau Yquem, which cost less than 500 US dollars.
I like Fubai better.
Liu Ming smiled when he saw it. "Han, there is a wine tasting party tonight. The wine tasting party jointly organized by Constellation Company and the Chris family will be held at Mondavi Winery, Screaming Eagle Winery, and Shade Wine Cellar under Constellation.
, Harlan Winery. Bryant Family Winery, Burrut Winery, Dalla Valle Winery, Scarecrow Winery, Sloan Winery, Opus One, and many top wineries in Napa have received invitations. This will
This is the largest wine tasting event in the United States in 2009. Are you interested?"
"Of course, I would like to see the top wine merchants in the United States." Li Han shook the wine glass in his hand and said with a smile. "Han, you think too highly of these guys. You must know the top five first-class wineries in France this year.
The price of red wine continues to fall, and Americans see opportunities. Perhaps the huge demand in the Chinese market is what these guys are eyeing."
Liu Ming is still more or less clear about the meaning of the invitation letter, but everyone takes what he needs. The domestic market demand is not much different between Europe and the United States, but American red wine entered the market later. The high-end market is completely monopolized by France.
The competitiveness of American red wine is still far behind that of established red wine countries. Constellation and the Chris family intend to enter the Chinese market. Since Liu Ming, the God of Wealth, is in Napa, it is not surprising that the two families are wooing each other. "These guys have a good idea.
It's a pity that the French are not fools."
Liu Ming put down his wine glass and looked at Li Han. "Han, are you interested in coming in and playing? Maybe we can build a good brand." "Ming, you think highly of me. When it comes to red wine, I'm still a layman." Li Han felt worried.
One move.
The price of high-end red wine is not comparable to that of beer. The profit of hundreds or even thousands of dollars of red wine can be imagined. Especially in the high-end market, beer has inherent weaknesses and cannot be compared with red wine. Red wine is like a noble princess, but beer is ordinary.
Worker.
Liu Ming didn't persuade her too much. Maybe Liu Ming was just on a whim. After leaving the wine cellar and returning to the courtyard, his mother was taking pictures with Dudu and the baby in the backyard. There was a nice garden, rockery, pool, and some Jiangnan.
Funny.
Dudu and Baobao also made two small fishhooks, a green bamboo fishing rod, and a small hanging hook to catch small goldfish. Li Han glanced at Liu Ming. "The fishing rod is what I usually play with." "It's really fun.
Ah." Liu Ming was a little speechless, a little bored and did it casually. Unexpectedly, Dudu and the baby came out. "Auntie, how do you feel about resting?" "It's good, it's quite clean here. Liu Ming, thank you." Zhang Xiuying
I really like the environment here. The courtyard is full of Chinese elements. It feels very comfortable. I sit and watch my granddaughter and granddaughter having fun with a classic book in my hand. It's very nice.
Before dinner, Li Han received a call and received news. Jock and Big Big Wolf seemed to have gone to the brewery in the afternoon, and their mood changed a bit. Li Han called Gilberg. "Gill, things seem to be going well. Get ready."
, we are about to begin.”
At dinner, Li Han mentioned the wine tasting party, and Zhang Xiuying shook her head. "You and Liu Ming can go, Dudu and the baby will be fine with me." My mother doesn't like this kind of wine party, but Dudu likes it very much.
The girl was fussing, but when Li Han said there would be no snacks at the reception, Dudu's little mouth dropped. "Dudu, baby, uncle has asked the pastry chef to make some snacks for you, and they will be delivered to you shortly."
Sure enough, when the two little devils heard this, they had some snacks. They nodded and did not bother Li Han. Liu Ming prepared the car, this time it was a Bentley. "We have to make a show." Liu Ming got in the car.
, curled his lips.
Li Han understood that although the real rich did not need to fight with each other, there was no need to pretend to be poor. The car drove slowly. "Han, someone from the Chris family is participating." "It doesn't matter, not everyone can be the scapegoat, right?"
"
Li Han smiled and didn't care. He said a few sarcastic words. Maybe he was looked down upon. This didn't have much impact on Li Han. "I wonder which member of the Chris family is here this time?" "Maybe it's not a member of the Chris family.
"
Not long after, the car arrived at Mondavi Winery. Mondavi Winery is the largest winery in California that produces high-quality wine, with an annual output of 1,500,000 cases of wine. Of course, compared to the past, the status of Mondavi Winery has declined a lot. The founder
Poor management, the loss of top brands in competition, the acquisition of Constellation Wine Company, and a series of changes. This half-century-old winery has a status like the setting sun. It is undeniable that it has brought stainless steel barrels and French oak to the American red wine industry.
Barrels and other advanced equipment, as well as low-temperature fermentation, natural planting methods and many other advanced technologies. Unfortunately, all that has passed. Today, Mondavi Winery has still lost its tradition and is just a red wine production factory.
Liu Ming introduced some Constellation Wine Company to Li Han on the road. It is the largest wine producer and distributor in the United States, the largest beer importer, the third largest liquor producer and distributor, and the largest wine producer and distributor in the UK.
, Australia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, South Africa and Chile have their own production plants.
This is a real wine company, more for profit. Compared with Chris Family Wine Company, perhaps the difference is that one will make adjustments at any time and anywhere according to the market and sell any brand or winery in its hand, while the other will not give up on itself.
A family that sticks to traditional fields.
The car stopped and Li Han took a look. There were quite a few famous cars. The two got out of the car and slightly attracted some attention. Few Asians would attend such a tasting party. There is no red wine in Asia. This is the evaluation of Asian red wine by European and American countries. It is simple and simple.
Disdainful.
Liu Ming seems to be used to it, but Li Han is quite curious about the process of the wine tasting. "Oh, this is incredible. It's nice to see you again, Han. I think Luke will regret not coming to this wine party."
Li Han didn't expect to meet an acquaintance here and hug Anna. "Anna, you are still so beautiful. How is Luke?" "Of course, he is fine. Han, would you like a drink?" Anna Rothschild,
Owns shares of Chateau Lafite.
Luke Walton’s wife likes white truffles. Li Han and Anna met several times at the last family gathering and they had a good conversation. Li Han was a little surprised when he first met, but it’s not surprising when he thinks about it. This is the largest restaurant in the United States.
Wine tasting.
Li Han introduced Liu Ming to Anna. Liu Ming really didn’t know that Li Han had a good relationship with Chateau Lafite. As expected, Anna and Liu Ming were both very interested in each other. Lafite has a very good reputation in China, and Liu Ming
Clear background, this is also what Lafite Manor needs.
Fortunately, the two only chatted for a few words and exchanged contact information without further discussion. Anna asked about Pandora and learned that Pandora was at Liu Ming Winery and planned to go over to meet little Pandora after the reception.
Anna, who was talking to Li Han, saw a woman walking towards her and stood up to greet her. "Dear little Anna." "Mrs. Robinson, it's great that you can come." Anna hugged the woman and said,
The two seemed quite familiar.
Liu Ming touched Li Han. "What a surprise. It's incredible to see Jesse Robinson here." "Is Jesse Robinson famous?" Li Han looked confused, and Liu Ming sighed and said
"Jacice Robinson, along with Robert Parker and James Shacklin, is known as the world's three major wine critics, and is known as the "First Lady of the Wine Industry." Her book "World Wine Map" is known as the "Wine Bible"
", the "JR Rating" created is also one of the three major wine rating systems recognized in the world."
Li Han really didn't know. Liu Ming introduced this lady in detail, which surprised Li Han. Jesse was one of the few people in the world who could add M after her name.
W is one of the wine tasters of Master of Wine.
No wonder Anna and Jesse are familiar with each other. It is not difficult to guess that Lafite is one of the five first-class wineries in France, and most of the sommeliers are masters. Anna and the first lady of wine know each other very well. Anna introduced Liu Minghe
Li Han was introduced to Jesse. Unexpectedly, Jesse had heard of Li Han and Liu Ming.
Jesse was not surprised to hear about Liu Ming, but Li Han was a little surprised to hear about her. "Oh, I like the taste of orchid very much." "Thank you." Li Han didn't expect that the first lady of wine actually drank beer.
"Unfortunately, Han, Youlan now belongs to the Chris family." "Mrs. Robinson, hello, I am Chris Family Winery, Parton Chris is very happy to meet you." Parton Chris smiled and bent down.
