Chen Mo picked up the wine glass, shook it and smelled it...
Swirling the wine glass is to let the aroma of the red wine spread, not to show off.
There is chocolate, tropical black fruits, and there seems to be an aroma of coffee and the smell of the bush.
Chen Mo doesn’t know much about wine, but the wine storage room of River Valley Ranch Villa contains many of the world’s top wines. After drinking too much, he understands a little bit...
Harlan Winery is a girly red, and a bottle of wine costs hundreds of dollars.
When you drink it, the taste is thick, but also very smooth. The heavy feeling is the tannin in the wine. It is thick and soft, which means that the wine is very balanced and it is a good wine.
Chen Mo doesn't know much about aroma, but he can distinguish the quality of wine from the taste.
There is a lot of good wine at home, and if you drink too much, you will naturally feel it if you drink cheap wine.
Hathaway imitated Chen Mo, took a sip, and secretly looked at Chen Mo: "This should be a very expensive wine?"
"Well, the output is not high."
"Is there any difference between it and wine worth more than ten or twenty dollars? I can't drink it."
"More smooth, with a hint of sweetness?" Chen Mo frowned, no wonder he called the girl red: "It's a very good wine."
Americans like wine, and it is easier to tell whether a wine is good or bad. Their tongues are more sensitive because they like light food, and their taste sensitivity is much better than that of Chen Mo, who likes Sichuan food. Chen Mo needs to taste a red wine carefully.
I really can’t describe it well...
"I can feel that this is a very good wine, because it tastes full of dollars when you drink it." Lester smiled, glanced around secretly, and whispered.
Zhang Ju held the wine glass and smelled the aroma, then put down the glass.
"It's a very good wine, why don't you try it?" Lucy said.
"I'll drive later." Zhang Ju felt a little regretful that she couldn't drink in a restaurant like this.
"Stay at my house for the night. It's in Luyue District, not far away. We can find a price to send us back..."
Zhang Ju was a little moved: "Would it be inconvenient for us girls to go to your house?"
Chen Mo shrugged: "I live alone here, so there is no inconvenience. If you mind, you can stay in a B&B. There is a B&B near me."
Zhang Ju looked at Hathaway...
Hathaway looks so cute with her pouted lips...
Chen Mo smiled and looked at Zhang Ju: "I'm from Shu Province, how about you?"
"Guangzhou." Zhang Ju then picked up the wine glass and took a sip: "Which university are you studying in?"
"Studying..." Chen Mo was shocked: "Do I look young?"
"About the same age as my younger brother." Zhang Ju stopped quarreling with Chen Mo and relaxed and communicated normally.
"Mo... must not be studying anymore?" Hathaway looked at Chen Mo leisurely: "Asians, if they take good care of themselves, they look very young, and it is difficult to tell their actual age."
"I'm 31 years old." Chen Mo stood up and poured a small glass of red wine for several people. He looked at Hathaway and said, "You don't mind me being old, right?"
"I can't tell at all..." Hathaway was a little surprised and shook her head: "No. I like uncle."
Lucy and Lester also looked at Chen Mo carefully...
"Aren't you kidding?"
"The former 'Lu Ziqiao', his real name is Bai Xiaoou, he is my buddy, I am a few months older than him."
"At first glance, I thought he was your uncle, or eldest brother." Lucy said.
Chen Mo chuckled lightly.
"Bai Xiaoou... such a familiar name." Zhang Ju said, "I wonder where I have heard this name before."
Bai Xiaoou is a young entrepreneur who has achieved great success in his career. He has appeared in newspapers and magazine covers, and has also been reported on online news.
A company that was established less than two years ago has easily raised more than 100 million U.S. dollars, making it hard to miss the news.
Chen Mo smiled and did not continue talking about Bai Xiaoou. The restaurant waiter also brought the dishes... The first dish was: oysters with paddlefish caviar. At the same time, he brought champagne glasses, paired with Calistoga
Production area, Montelena winery’s tulip aroma sparkling wine...
This sparkling wine uses the champagne process and tastes similar to champagne from the Champagne region of France. It has a different flavor and a heavier acidity. The taste is similar...
Chen Mo took a sip of sparkling wine first and then tasted the dish.
The shell spoon brings the plump black roe and fresh oysters to the mouth... The smell of the sea... For a country bumpkin like Chen Mo, it's just... Sorry to bother you. I really don't think it's that delicious...
However, after taking the second bite, I seemed to accept the taste. It was very unique and not so overwhelming.
The second dish is Hawaiian Peach and Coconut Meat Salad.
This is actually a choice dish, you can choose Hawaiian peach and coconut meat salad, or foie gras sauce.
The two options actually have their own merits. Salad and foie gras are also very different in terms of taste. The chef recommended the macadamia peach and coconut meat salad, mainly because they were tasting sparkling wine, and also to better taste the food behind...
The third course was slow-braised yellowfin tuna steak, followed by pan-fried Alaskan king crab...
Each dish is only a small portion, some are served one to three minutes apart, and some are served more than ten minutes apart.
The dishes were served at a slower pace as we got to the back. After the sea urchin lemon jelly, the style of the dishes suddenly changed, and a dish of roasted venison was served... Several people also drank back the red wine.
Next came the veal steak... Chen Mo ate it in one bite. It was the veal steak from Brett beef.
"Is this the veal steak from Bright Beef?" Chen Mo looked at the chef who made this delicacy and asked.
"Yes. This is the last Brat beef steak in the restaurant. Mr. Thomas Kohler asked me to tell you that the response to the Brat steak in our restaurant is very good."
"You can also try the lamb chops from our pasture, which have also received very good feedback from the market."
"Okay, I will tell Mr. Thomas Kohler. Please use it slowly, everyone, please use it slowly..." The chef smiled and turned to leave.
Such service is the kind of treatment only reserved for the most important VIPs.
It seems that the response to the Brett Steak is super good...
This is already the eleventh course.
The portion of each dish was not much, but Chen Mo was almost full.
Look at Hathaway and the others, they are still unfinished...
Eating French food is the most troublesome.
Authentic French food can be eaten casually for more than half an hour. The higher the level, the longer it takes. The entire meal lasts more than an hour, or even two hours...
After that there was cheese with onions, sorbet, pineapple balls, chocolate cake, as well as after-dinner coffee and after-dinner dessert...
There were 17 dishes in total, including appetizers, 18. And I tasted 5 wines...
The meal took two and a half hours, and the service was attentive. And each dish was meticulously prepared. Some of the dishes were so exquisite that I couldn't bear to start with them. They were simply beautiful works of art. It was just too time-consuming...
Chen Mo went over to settle the bill, and the total amount including tips was US$3,150. One meal was a month's salary for many people...
Chen Mo was no longer the Chen Mo of the past, so he didn't feel too distressed. After leaving the restaurant, the restaurant had arranged for a driver to take Chen Mo and the others to Luyue District, at the foot of Bozik Mountain...
"Come here, there is a private road ahead." Chen Mo said to the driver.
"Okay, we're going back."
Two people were acting as drivers, and a car was following behind.
After they left, Chen Mo spoke to Zhang Ju, sat in the driver's seat and drove the car to the top of the mountain...
There is a big bend to get to the top of the mountain. The entire top of the mountain is just Chen Mo's house. The one-way asphalt road seems a bit narrow, and the leaves rustling on the road as cars run over it. There are tall oak trees on both sides of the road, and soft light shines through the canopy of the trees.
Full of sunshine, it looks particularly quiet.
Hathaway was lying on the car window, looking out, her mouth never closed. When she saw the villa on the top of the mountain, her mouth opened even wider.
Chen Mo got out of the car, opened the door, and drove the car into a very large paved stone yard.
Parking the car in the yard, Zhang Ju and the others followed in, then turned around and closed the door...
Chapter completed!
