Chapter 2084

"Isn't that Effie, the landlady of Titan's tavern? Titan was also a famous wine in those days. Unfortunately... "

"Yes, I used to go there, but it's lost. Now there's only one name left."

"I can see her every year, but the Titan wine she brews is not as good as her father's, but the courage and persistence are very commendable."

Someone recognized Effie and whispered in a sorry tone.

For some elderly drinkers and Tavern practitioners, the Titan tavern was impressive.

Thirty years ago, the golden prize wine of the first wine tasting conference was Titan, which was well-known at that time.

Titan tavern was one of the most famous taverns in Luodu.

Unfortunately, fifteen years ago, the legendary winemaker died in a burglary, leaving only one daughter under the age of 15. Titan has been lost ever since.

Although Titan tavern reopened five years later, Effie's new Titan wine is totally incomparable with the real Titan wine, which has become a great pity for many good drinkers.

Of course, there are also some regular customers who often patronize Titan tavern. The right is to take care of the daughter business of an old friend.

Effie said hello to some of her acquaintances and sat down with a smile.

MEG took a look at Effie, but he could better understand the woman's difficulty.

Making a living is only a part of it. Bearing the external expectation and the aura of her parents is her real pressure.

"But what is the Saipan tavern? I don't think I've heard of this pub yet. "

"Yeah, it sounds like a new pub, or I would know."

"You're not familiar with it. It's the latest upstart in lodu. Maybe not many people know about it, but it's said that the wine is good. Even the Duke of Abraham often patronizes it."

"And that kind of thing?"

"I've heard that, too. He must have brought wine with him. After a while, the wine will be on the table, so I'll know."

Everyone's topic turned to MEG sitting next to Effie. He talked about it and paid more attention to him.

The cathedral, which can hold thousands of people, was soon filled with people in the back row.

"Baron Kurt There was a loud cry.

The crowd rose one after another.

A grizzled but hearty old man came in through the gate, followed by several old men of the same age.

"In the middle is Baron Kurt, vice president of the wine society and one of the promoters of the tasting.

The bearded one next to him is Fergus, President of the wine society, a just and professional elder... "Effie introduces MEG to the identities of the elders who come in.

The Wine Association is a relatively independent organization, and these elders with their own status ensure the relative fairness and justice of the wine tasting conference.

Kurt, as the provider of the venue, delivered a brief speech on behalf of the conference.

"To be brief, I know that you don't want to hear my old man talking about it here. You just want to know if there is any new wine in Luodu city after this year." Kurt said with a smile: "yes, I also want to know. Well, next we'll officially start tasting the bar. I can't wait for that. "

The audience laughed. The Baron is really an interesting person.

At the front of the church, there is a high platform more than one meter high, on which five tables are lined up. Five judges are seated respectively. No one has a big cup full of warm water at hand.

Wine tasting conference, as the name suggests, is to score wine tasting, and then decide according to the score.

As for the scoring standard, each judge has a ten point system, which is determined according to the subjective feelings of the five wine tasters.

It doesn't sound rigorous enough, but as long as five wine tasters are professional and fair enough, this is actually a relatively fair and effective way.

There are more than 300 pubs participating in this wine tasting conference. Because of the large number of pubs, they are divided into five groups by drawing lots, and the group is the unit for tasting.

In addition, in order to reduce other factors affecting the winemaker's judgment of wine, each group of wine will not be introduced before being served on the stage, but will be revealed after scoring.

The staff came out with a wine bottle and five small empty glasses, opened the bottles on site, poured the wine into the glasses in front of everyone and sent it to the five judges.

The light aroma of the wine spreads.

McGonagall closed his eyes and sniffed. The typical sweet fruit wine has a fair aroma and no special feeling. It's a little better than the fruit wine made by ordinary people.

The judges sniffed their glasses first, some shook their heads, others nodded, but their expressions were very calm.

Then they took a sip and put down their glasses.

"This fruit wine has a fair taste, a little sweetness and room for improvement." Kurt made a brief comment and picked up the scoreboard in front of him.

Kurt gave a 6, Fergus gave a 7, and the other three judges scored 5-7.

"The first group, the first bottle of wine, the Karoo from the Karus tavern, scored 31 points!" The host quickly introduced.

Fifty point system, a barely qualified score.

McGonagall nodded slightly, and he recognized the professionalism of the jury.

A fat man not far away seemed quite happy. Although he only got an ordinary score, he was a bit higher than last year. Moreover, this year is the first wine to go on stage, which will surely be remembered by more people.

Then the other four bottles of wine in the first group scored between 30 and 40. Each time, a judge made a brief comment, which was also a suggestion.

The judges tasted the wine in small mouthfuls. After tasting it, they would gargle with warm water and occasionally eat a little cake to fill their stomach. Although there was a lot of wine, the speed was not slow.

"Father, when will it be our turn to drink? And... When can I eat? " Amy looked at MEG and asked in a low voice. This kind of occasion is too boring for the little guy. Looking at the cakes on the stage, she couldn't help swallowing several times.

"Why don't Xiao'ai and xiao'an go outside for a while, and Marla will be outside. Let her take you to eat delicious food." Effie looked at Amy and said with a smile.

"Yes, yes." Amy's eyes lit up and her head lit up.

MEG looks sideways at Elena.

"Go ahead." Irina nodded, his spirit can completely cover the manor, let the two children out of the party will not be any accident.

Annie took Amy's little hand and slipped out of the church.

"This is the explosion bar of Reese tavern. The taste is still as good as the name. It's amazing and impressive as soon as you enter. Moreover, the taste of this year's wine has been improved. It's more supple after entering the throat. It's quite surprising." Fergus put down his glass and commented with a smile.

"Yes, there is no way for people to pretend that they don't know about this wine. Compared with previous years, it has made great progress." Kurt, too, nodded with a smile.

All the judges have scored.

"Group 32, the third bottle of wine, explosive wine from Reese tavern, 48 points! The highest score so far The host's voice can not help but improve a few points!
