Chapter 648

"Now, the blind tasting competition officially begins. Although there are 18 kinds of wine on the table, we have only one rule. We can taste Lafite from these 18 kinds of wine. After tasting Lafite in 1982, we should raise our left hand to make sure. For the sake of fairness, everyone has only one chance!"

Lucy's words stirred the whole room up again.

"My God? Eighteen kinds of wine, only one chance. It's too difficult... "

"Yes, I'm afraid I can't even be a super taster or a Lafite taster in Bordeaux, France. It's too challenging..."

“……”

Lucy was smiling at the meeting of the people and waiting.

Soon people stopped, and it was obvious that Miss Lucy had something to say.

"This is only the first round. In the second round, we will invite the three gentlemen, Mr. Chen Hannan and Mr. San Antonio to taste all the 18 kinds of red wine in five minutes, and then let them taste them blindly to see who is the real wine taster?"

"Yes! Great... "

"I'm going to..."

“……”

The atmosphere under the stage suddenly became warm again.

"Everyone is enthusiastic. I haven't said anything yet. Besides the prize offered by the organizer of the reception and Hilton Hotel, Miss Bennet will present a sweet kiss to the winner!"

Miss Lucy's words seemed to be a bomb dropped into the water, which immediately caused a big whirlpool on the water surface and a fierce storm, and the scene was boiling again. Wearing neat suits on weekdays, gentle and modest gentlemen tear off their disguises one by one and go crazy.

Miss Lucy is a master in charge of the scene, and she is also a fan of Chinese cuisine.

She knows that now the oil in the pot is boiling, and you can put meat and vegetables into the frying pan. Oil is the top quality oil, with one meat and one vegetable. The dishes that come out of the pot are not spicy Sichuan dishes piled up with condiments, and the chef is not a Sichuan cook who has been learning Sichuan cuisine for three months.

If you want to give this dish a proper name, it's the "nine turn large intestine" that pays the most attention to fire and knife skills. It's the best of Shandong cuisine. There's no classic Shandong cuisine that can't be made in three years.

The live music was replaced by the soothing, cheerful and humorous Polka of the John Strauss family, which brought people's emotions back.

If the scene is compared to a drama, then now we have entered the third act, climax.

"Ask our two beauties to hold a cup for the two masked handsome guys..." As she spoke, Miss Lucy motioned to the wine maker to bring the wine to Chen Hannan and San Antonio.

Two beautiful wine makers went to one side of the long table. One of them picked up a wine cup with different shapes and numbers of "1" and handed it to Chen Hannan and San Antonio who were standing one meter away.

The scene was quiet and the background music stopped. Only the headphones of Chen Hannan and San Antonio were still ringing.

The lights on the scene went dark, leaving only two spotlights fixed on them. All the people on the scene held their breath, widened their eyes and looked at the two people on the stage carefully.

Chen Hannan took the cup from the wine opener, gently bent over to express his thanks, quickly adjusted the gesture of holding the cup, and gently grasped the foot of the goblet with his thumb, index finger and middle finger, shaking it carefully.

He can feel that San Antonio, like him, is doing the same thing now. He can hear and distinguish two kinds of the same red wine bumping into different shapes of glasses, giving feedback of different sounds.

The scene was still quiet. Chen Hannan stopped the shaking of the glass. He put his nose into the glass. The glass tilted 45 degrees and took a hard breath. Of course, he heard the voice of San Antonio. Like him, he also took a hard breath.

Chen Hannan savored the fragrance in his mouth carefully. Yes, it has the fragrance of black currant, the rich aroma of purple, eh, and the aroma of cigar box. Chen Hannan twisted his brow and opened it again. Don't taste it. Now we can be sure that this cup of wine is not Lafite in 1982. There is no aroma of cigar box in Lafite in 1982. If you want to know the end of this cup of wine We need to taste what year and brand it is, but Chen Hannan doesn't want to do it. He is not a professional wine taster. Without using the internal power of dragon and tiger boxing, he is more willing to enjoy the moment through his wine tasting experience in the past six months.

Chen Hannan held out his hand and handed the cup to him. He took the cup in the eyes of the professional wine opener.

Everyone is still silent, which is polite, because San Antonio has not finished the blind tasting of this glass of wine.

San Antonio took a deep breath of the aroma of the wine glass and tasted it. Yes, it was a typical aroma of black fruits. However, it seemed that it was different from Lafite in 1982. He shook the glass again and tasted it carefully. This time, he was sure that the wine was not Lafite in 1982. This time, he tasted the similarity of the aroma In 1982, Lafite did not have this smell.But the taste was really charming. He wanted to have a taste, but he also held back. If he tasted each of the 18 kinds of wine, it would make his taste buds over excited and make them make wrong judgments. San Antonio put his hand out of the glass that had been raised to his mouth.

Miss Lucy, standing on the stage, put her index finger to her mouth in good time and made a no sound gesture. The distinguished guests who are preparing to clap under the stage also understand that it is not the time to clap, it will be exposed, which will make the two blind people realize that they are right in their judgment. The competition has just started, and the good play is still behind.

Under the guidance of the light, the two beauties handed the wine cups numbered "2" to Chen Hannan and San Antonio, and retreated to one side.

The two people repeated the action just now, and simultaneously tilted the glass 45 degrees, put their nose into the glass, took a deep breath, raised their heads and tasted it carefully.

Chen Hannan knows that the wine in this cup is not Lafite in 1982. The Lafite in 1982 only has four kinds of Aroma: light blackcurrant, rich purple half, floating cedar and light rose. The taste is mellow and not so publicized. This cup of wine reflects the fresh taste of strawberry, the refreshing taste of black cherry and the insipidity brought by mushroom What we want is a little sweet almond which is easy to ignore. Don't taste it. It must be Pinot Noir!

The smile on Chen Hannan's face is really interesting. He is more and more confident now. He handed out the wine cup in his hand. Surprise flashed in the eyes of the long haired beauty who was specially responsible for delivering wine to him. He quickly stepped forward and took the cup.

San Antonio is still slower than Chen Hannan this time. He is intoxicated by the fragrance this time. It seems that Lafite is not the best wine in the world. The taste of this wine is really right for my appetite. Soon, I began to doubt myself. Isn't it Lafite in 1982? Why do I use such a good taste? Finally, he also tasted the sweet taste of almond, which was easy to be ignored. He handed out the wine glass in his hand.

The people under the stage finally couldn't help it. There was a slight commotion. Some people were about to clap their hands together, and miss Lucy stopped them. Only in this way, will be more and more nervous, the fog will be more and more thick, only to the end will completely lose the two pioneers in the intoxicating aroma.

The third glass of wine was handed up. Cabernet Sauvignon and Chen Hannan were one step ahead of San Antonio. They still didn't have any wine.

The fourth cup or Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Sauvignon of different origins, two people still have no product.

The fifth cup is Pinot Grigio

The sixth cup is Riesling

The seventh Cup is jinfandai

……

Until the 12th cup, they finally tasted the wine for the first time, because they could not tell by Just smelling the aroma. "Seven percent grapes, three percent brewing". Lafite is a typical Bordeaux style. 70 percent of the wine is Cabernet Sauvignon, and the rest is 25 percent Merlot.

Now they have a problem. This bottle of wine they are tasting is Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley, Napa County, California. The foggy climate of Napa Valley provides Cabernet Sauvignon with unique temperature and humidity, making the Cabernet Sauvignon planted here the world's top grape variety.

Chen Han Nan took a big mouthful and let the wine fully contact with the taste buds in his mouth. He tasted it carefully. It's good. The taste is all right. The four kinds of aroma are mixed, which are fragrant blackcurrant, rich purple half, floating cedar and light rose. The taste is mellow and not so public, and so on. No!

What did Chen Hannan think of? The taste of Lafite is a kind of French elegance, not so publicized! And this glass of wine? Chen Hannan was a little uncertain. He took a big drink again, fully mobilized all the taste buds in his mouth, and realized it again.

This wine has a wild taste. Yes, it's wild! Chen Hannan breathed a sigh of relief. Now he can be sure that this glass of wine must be made in California, m country. It tastes mellow, has a long aftertaste, and has the wild temperament of breaking through the cage and breaking free from the shackles!

This is in line with the temperament of Californians in M country, adventurous gold prospectors and fast shooting Western cowboys.

Chen Hannan laughs. He shakes his glass and drinks the rest of the wine in one gulp. There are six glasses of wine behind him. He can taste the difference between the two kinds of wine, and there will be no problem later.

San Antonio also took a big SIP and tasted it carefully. Tasting wine means taking a big sip, but not a small one.

The taste buds in his mouth cheered, and his stomach also strengthened its peristalsis, urging him to swallow quickly. As soon as the wine passed his throat, San Antonio also laughed, and the corners of his mouth cocked up. Yes, that's the taste, that's the familiar taste. Besides Raffi in 1982, who else is there?!

Elegant French Lafite in 1982, perfect Lafite, San Antonio will drink the wine in the glass, he raised his left hand, according to the prior agreement, this is to judge the signal of drinking Lafite.
