241 Wine tasting

The most indispensable thing about Lujiazui in Shanghai on weekends is people. Although the weather is relatively cold in late spring, there are still countless people from out of town who come here to check in.

At seven o'clock in the evening, it is the best time to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Bund from the east bank of the Huangpu River. Standing on the bank of the river and looking around, you can have a panoramic view of the golden "foreign banks" illuminated by the lights. There used to be "one city fireworks" on the Huangpu River.

Half

The Shiliupu Pier in the "Southeast" has now become a passenger pier only for tourists. The once powerful "Huangpu Beach" has gradually been no longer mentioned after Du Yuesheng, and was replaced by the nickname "Shanghai Beach".

"The waves are flowing, and the thousands of miles of turbulent rivers never stop. They have washed away all the things in the world and mixed them into one surging tide. Whether you are happy or sad, you can't tell it in the waves. Laughter, sorrow and sorrow, success or failure, can't be seen in the waves...

…”

Zhang Wei, who arrived in Lujiazui ahead of schedule, strolled alone on Binjiang Avenue, looking at the century-old foreign-owned buildings on the other side, and couldn't help humming the song "Shanghai Bund". The story of Huang Jinrong and Du Yuesheng in the old TV series made him yearn for it. Man

We all have dreams of world domination, we all have fantasies

When brave people are worshiped as heroes, Zhang Wei is no exception. But as he grows older, reality also teaches him to recognize the reality. After all, stories are just stories, and fantasies are just unrealistic and random thoughts. How can we compare in a chaotic era?

A stable and harmonious society is more comfortable.

Zhang Wei hummed this old song over and over again, admiring the scenery of the Bund, and slowly strolled to the entrance of Shangri-La.

Because of his carelessness, Zhang Wei was the last one to come here.

The five applicants had already been waiting at the door early. After more than ten minutes of boring waiting, they couldn't help but become suspicious again, wondering if Zhang Wei was playing another trick to torment people.

Amidst the anxiety, some people have even begun to think seriously and prepare for the worst in their hearts.

"This unscrupulous manager Zhang, is he lying and saying he is here to taste red wine? In fact, he is trying to trick us into coming here to promote..."

This is Ma Feng's conjecture in his heart.

Judging from the expressions on other people's faces, the contents of their minds are probably not much better.

Reason told them that it would be too luxurious to take them to a five-star hotel by the Huangpu River to taste red wine before they even joined the company.

If the test can be such a beautiful thing, then they are willing to continue such a test, but will Manager Zhang be so kind?

After all, for ordinary people, coming to Shangri-La to taste red wine is definitely a very luxurious thing. This manager Zhang must have some hidden agenda.

However, this time they all thought wrong.

As soon as Zhang Wei arrived at the hotel door, he waved his hand and asked everyone to follow him in.

The hotel's receptionist was also very smart. He immediately opened the door to greet them, and after asking Zhang Wei a few questions, he enthusiastically guided them to the 29th floor of the hotel.

There is an executive lounge on the 29th floor of Shangri-La, and this is where Zhang Wei arranged to taste red wine today.

The welcome waiter took Zhang Wei and the others into the executive lounge before leaving. At this time, the middle-aged man sitting at the long table by the window also noticed Zhang Wei and the others. After leaving, he stood up and faced Zhang Wei.

A group of people waved.

Zhang Wei also noticed the other person, walked a few steps to the person, exchanged a few polite words, then turned around and introduced the person to the applicants.

"This is Boss Huang, my friend who is in the red wine business. Today I asked him to tell us some useful information about red wine tasting."

Boss Huang said politely: "No, I need you to take more care of my business in the future."

After introducing each other, Boss Huang invited everyone to take a seat.

After Zhang Wei called the waiter and ordered some snacks, Boss Huang took out a bottle of red wine from under the table and placed it on the table. Only then did everyone notice that there was a small box under the table with several bottles of red wine in it.

“It really looks like you’re here for a wine tasting.”

Until now, the five applicants did not fully believe that Zhang Wei had such good intentions.

After the waiter brought the red wine set, Boss Huang picked up the bottle of red wine he placed on the table and slowly introduced: "First of all, I want to introduce to you this bottle of Wind Whisper from Argentina.

The red wine of the winery is called Trivento in English. According to legend, Trivento

The original meaning refers to the three local winds. Later, after a famous translator in China translated his poem into The Language of the Wind, it instantly became beautiful and romantic. Just hearing the name is already very charming. Imagine it, a message from the breeze,

Sending it to your sweetheart is like a dream behind the curtain of the moon at night, and the tenderness of the spring breeze. Sending a piece of lovesickness through the mellow wine..."

While making the introduction, Boss Huang used a wine opener to slowly twist the cork on the wine bottle. As he pressed down on the handle of the corkscrew, the cork was pulled out with a "wave" sound, revealing the wine bottle.

The rear end is dyed deep red.

Boss Huang took off the oak stopper, put it in front of his nose and smelled it, and said with an intoxicating look on his face: "If you smell it, you can smell a unique fruity aroma and the smell of wind."

As he spoke, Boss Huang handed the oak cork to the people around him, gesturing for everyone to smell it.

Zhang Wei was the last one to smell it. He pretended to hold it in front of his nose and smelled it carefully. Then he smiled and nodded and praised: "Not bad, the fruity fragrance is very strong."

Maybe it was because he usually smoked and drank a lot, so he couldn't smell any special smell from the oak cork, let alone what Boss Huang called the smell of wind, so he had no choice but to praise it without losing face.

Of course, Zhang Wei believes that other people are at the same level as him. After all, except for professional red wine sommeliers, who can have a dog nose? Even what Boss Huang said, Zhang Wei also thinks that this is just red wine.

The narrative script in the industry.

Next, while Boss Huang was pouring the red wine into the decanter to sober up the wine, Boss Huang introduced some methods of distinguishing red wine, as well as the differences between red wines produced in different countries.

About half an hour later, Boss Huang distributed the sobered wine to everyone, and while inviting everyone to taste it, he also explained some knowledge about wine tasting.

After that, Boss Huang took out two bottles of red wine for everyone to taste. One was a rosé wine produced from Miraver Winery. It is said that it can make people taste the taste of first love and is the legendary "magic tool for picking up girls."

; The other is a red wine from the Kailong family winery with the reputation of "wine of love". This wine was emphatically praised by Boss Huang, and he also introduced the origin of the title "wine of love".

.

It is said that in the 17th century, the owner of Calon Saga Winery was Nicolas Alexander, a well-known person in the international wine industry at that time. This man was known as the "Prince of Wine". In addition to owning Calon Saga, he also owned Chateau Lafite at that time.

Château Latour 2

Large wineries. Although the latter two are more famous, when the "Prince of Wine" was asked which winery he preferred, he said: "Although I am in Lafite and Latour, my heart is

Stay at Kailong Family.”

It is because of the words "Prince of Wine" that the wine labels of Calon Saga have always had a big red heart pattern. Although it did not represent love at first, gradually, Calon Saga's wines became a symbol of love and love.

A must-have when proposing, the French also like to give this kind of wine to their lovers on Valentine’s Day to express their feelings and show their unwavering love.

After Zhang Wei tasted this red wine with a market value of 5,000 yuan, he really felt the difference from the previous two red wines, because he felt even more distressed when tasting this red wine.

He had paid Boss Huang in advance for the three red wines he was going to taste tonight, so he would definitely be able to taste the taste of soft girl coins.

After the tasting of the three red wines, Boss Huang took out an exquisite wooden box from under the table like a magic trick. After he carefully opened the wooden box, everyone discovered that it also contained a bottle of red wine.

But this time, Boss Huang carefully picked up the red wine and showed it to everyone. After seeing everyone's greedy eyes, he immediately put the bottle of red wine away without any intention of sharing it with everyone.

This bottle of 1982 Lafite is Boss Huang's treasure. It's okay to take it out occasionally to pretend to beep, but it's absolutely impossible for him to open it and drink it.

However, after everyone learned the name of this bottle of wine, no one dared to ask for a tasting. After all, they were not capable of tasting this bottle of red wine worth more than 100,000 yuan. One sip would cost 10,000 yuan.

, a pig may not be worth the price of a sip of wine.

One bite of a pig is so exciting just thinking about it.
