"This guy really has his wits about him..." Listening to Tom Hiddleston's words, Taylor Swift couldn't help but murmured in a low voice.
She originally came here just to ridicule Jiang Hai, but now it seems that Jiang Hai is pretending to be unknowingly.
Such unconsciousness is often the most fatal. Just because of a glass of wine, it seems that Elie Goulding, who was originally on the same side as her, has become not so aligned with her at this time. Originally, she did not like Jiang Hai. It's because Jiang Hai is a rich and colorful man.
And in her opinion, Jiang Hai should be a very low-income person. No matter how rich a cattle farmer is, he will not have any self-cultivation.
But now she discovered that Jiang Hai's manor could actually produce such red wine, which really made her change her mind about Jiang Hai.
"Okay, then I wish you good results with your red wine, let's go..." Looking at Jiang Hai sitting here, Taylor Swift curled her lips, then said loudly, and then patted Jiang Hai. After taking Hai's shoulder, he left with the other two people.
Jiang Hai didn't care about them leaving, because he didn't care about it himself. Besides, who were friends with them...
After watching the three people leave, Jiang Hai continued to sit here and eat crepes.
A day passed in the blink of an eye, and the first day of the competition was over. The organizers also took back the voting papers sent out today and sealed them. Today's will be displayed together with tomorrow's the day after tomorrow, and then made public. Roll the vote.
The third day came to decide the winner of the competition. Jiang Hai had nothing to say about it. After the first day, he took the girls back to the hotel. The girls had a lot of fun playing nearby today. Happy, of course, there are always some flies hanging around.
I have to admit that the French, especially the French men, really deserve a beating. If it weren't for Connerson-Peters, it would not be easy for them to get rid of these people. After returning, they would vomit with Jiang Hai. After vomiting their bitterness, Jiang Hai and the others took a rest.
Early the next morning, Jiang Hai and the others went to the reception again, but because they had already visited yesterday, they had no interest in it.
So after helping to get the wine, Jiang Hai and the others took the bus to go sightseeing nearby.
After all, this place has a history of fourteen or five hundred years, and there are some buildings and the like that you can still visit and take pictures of.
Although Magong is not a big place, there is no problem in visiting it for a day, so Jiang Hai and the others spent a day here.
But on the third day, there was no way to play. They went to the venue and waited for the final award ceremony. In this Macon Wine Competition, there were a total of twenty-nine participating wineries, most of which were French. In addition to the wineries, there are several Australian wineries, some from Clare Valley and some from Gunawara. These two places are the best red wine producing areas in Australia. They come here for medals.
Jiang Hai is not very clear about the other wines, but he is still very confident about the final ranking of his wine.
If you don't see Dulles-Gerald and his old gods, even the brewers like them don't worry about themselves, so what do they have to worry about? In fact, Jiang Hai was overthinking, and Dulles-Gerald was also quite worried at this time, but he was used to this, so he seemed very confident. At ten o'clock in the morning, the results of the selection came out. First of all What is posted on the list is the classification and ranking of the wines sent by these wineries to participate in the exhibition.
The quality of a glass of red wine cannot be judged just by tasting it.
First of all, color and smell are equally important, followed by tasting, and after tasting, there is an aftertaste.
Therefore, the rankings are divided into these four categories. The rankings of these four categories are posted first, and then the comprehensive evaluation, gold medals, etc. are posted.
The first thing posted is the list of colors. The highest score is ten points and the lowest score is six points. Those who come here to taste red wine will have a very complicated form in their hands. Each item of each bottle of wine is listed separately. , so every bottle of wine will be rated by hundreds or thousands of people.
Then take the average value. I have to admit that this is a lot of work.
After the list was posted, Jiang Hai and the others also leaned over to take a look. With a glance, Jiang Hai and the others could not help but heave a sigh of relief.
To be honest, the mellower the wine, the more beautiful its color will be. After all, Jiang Hai's red wine has only been stored for half a year.
Although they are very confident about the taste, to be honest, they are not too confident about the color and smell.
Fortunately, these wine tasters felt pretty good. Jiang Hai's Tenglong Manor First Love had a fragrance score of 9.71, ranking 4th among all 29 participating red wines. The results were pretty good, and the first one was The world's number one winery, Chateau Lafite's main red wine this year, has been cellared for five years. At least in terms of color and smell, it is not comparable to Jiang Hai's wine.
The second place is the red wine promoted by Chateau Mouton this year. If you say Chateau Mouton, maybe everyone is not very clear about it. If you talk about the full name of this winery, it is estimated that many people will know it, Mouton-Ross. Chateau Childes, yes, they are the winery of the Rothschild family, the world's largest plutocrat. Before World War II, the Rothschild family was the world's largest plutocrat.
However, later the attempt to enter the United States failed, and the two branches split off and became the Rockefeller family and the Morgan family, but not the Rothschild family.
It is still the largest family in Europe. This is an existence that others cannot conquer, even a small winery.
The third place in the color list is Chateau Obiang, the fourth is the protagonist’s winery, the fifth is the famous winery in the world, Romanee-Conti, the sixth is Chateau Latour, and the seventh is Peregrine. Chateau Tous, Chateau Cheval Blanc No. 8, Chateau Margaux No. 9, and Chateau Pontet-Canet No. 10.
Seeing this ranking, Dulles Gerald and Jiang Hai breathed a sigh of relief, but others here were a little surprised, especially the people from Romanee-Conti, who looked at Jiang Hai and the others. Something is wrong with his eyes.
There were some fears, some doubts, and some surprises. It was obvious that they had not paid much attention to Jiang Hai's Tenglong Manor before. In their opinion, the wines in Jiang Hai's Tenglong Manor could be ranked in the top twenty. The location was good. After all, none of the wineries here had a very rich heritage. They couldn't be surprised. But something that surprised them even more happened next.
After the second smell list came out, these people couldn't help but secretly sighed, because this time, Jiang Hai and the others were still at the top.
But it is not fourth, but third. The first is Romanee-Conti, the second is Chateau Lafite, and the third is Jiang Hai’s Tenglong Manor.
This couldn't help but make these people a little uproar. When they looked at Jiang Hai and the others, they looked a little evil. It really wasn't like a fierce dragon could not cross the river.
As soon as this guy Jiang Hai came over, he gave these people a blow. Just with the smell and color, Jiang Hai and the others couldn't get away with a bronze medal. If the taste and aftertaste were good, they might even have a chance to win one. Silver Award.
This Magong Wine Competition has a total of one gold medal, four silver medals, and six bronze medals. With Jiang Hai's current ranking, winning the award is inevitable.
"It seems that a strong enemy has arisen in the United States. I have never heard of Tenglong Manor before." Looking at Jiang Hai and his group, people from other wineries here murmured in low voices. Unknowingly, there was some gap with Jiang Hai and the others.
But Jiang Hai doesn't care about this. Just kidding, he just came here to make a name for himself, so he doesn't have to worry about sales.
Whether it’s Pula-Walton’s or those Western restaurants in Boston where he works with seafood, as long as he wins a gold medal here, when he goes back, although it is unlikely to be like the top wineries in Bordeaux, A box of six bottles costs $20,000.
But a thousand dollars a bottle is still not a problem. Jiang Hai has hundreds of thousands of bottles of wine hidden in the wine cellar. It seems that this is a very considerable income. The most important thing is that this is only the first One-year-old, if stored for three years, might not be able to be sold for two thousand or three thousand dollars a bottle. And I have been saving wine these years. It seems that Jiang Hai originally took it to the winery where he played. , there are also quite a few benefits.
Thinking of this, Jiang Hai's eyes couldn't help but light up. He wanted to see the rankings of the last two lists on which they were most confident.
At this time, the staff also came out with a third list about tasting.
Everyone's eyes are also staring at him. This list is the most important among the four lists. If we talk about the four lists, the color in the front accounts for 5% of the score, and the smell at the back accounts for 100% of the score. Ten out of ten, then the taste accounts for 70% of the score, and the aftertaste accounts for the remaining 15%. In the first two items, Jiang Hai ranks well. Now the one they are most confident in, Just come and take a look.
When this list was posted, everyone present couldn't help but take a breath of air-conditioning, and the eyes they looked at Jiang Hai also changed. Including Chateau Lafite, who had always been calm, Romanee- The same is true for big wineries like Conde.
Jiang Hai and the others had a smile on their faces because they saw a familiar name at the top of the list.
"Tenglong Manor's first love, 9.98 points..." Looking at this score, they all couldn't help but clenched their fists. On the other side, Aphra and the others were already celebrating, and Dulles Gerald's hands were even more excited. He was trembling, but his face was still calm. Even O'Connor Murphy, who looked like a face that Jiang Hai called a dead man, had an excited smile on his face at this time, although it was uglier than crying. .
They were quite confident in their wine, but they never thought that the taste of this wine could instantly win over the picky French people.
Except for a group of them, everyone else was talking quietly. They had never thought that the result would be like this.
"Regarding this result, I don't know if the conference has any reason to convince us." After these people muttered in the audience for a while, they finally introduced the representative of Chateau Lafite and said to the people at the conference over there. To be honest, this result They were not convinced.
“When we first calculated this data, we were very surprised, but after we tasted the bottle of wine called First Love from Mr. Jiang Hai’s Tenglong Manor, we believe that they deserved this score. "." Hearing the people from Chateau Lafite ask this, an old man from the conference over there stood up. To be honest, they didn't believe that the wine from Chateau Jianghai was so powerful at first.
But after tasting it, they knew that the score would definitely not be false, because in terms of taste, the wine was indeed impeccable.
Even Dulles Gerald, an old man whose sense of taste has deteriorated, can taste the taste of first love, not to mention these judges who have enhanced their sense of taste. After tasting this wine, they were all intoxicated.
It can be said that this wine, compared with those special collection wines, is not too much to give in. Now that someone has raised questions, they can also fight back hard. After hearing their words, Jiang Hai smiled indifferently, Du said. Les Gerald had already prepared some wine that had been sobered up. People from these companies had a drink each, and speaking with facts was better than anything else. Jiang Hai did not want to argue with them here.
After looking at the red wine that was brought over, the remaining twenty-eight people hesitated, but still picked up a glass and tasted it.
After tasting it, their brows furrowed, not because it didn't taste good, but because it tasted so good that they didn't even know what to say. Looking at the pungent score, they knew, He was not unjustly defeated this time.
After the third list was free of controversy, the fourth list’s aftertaste rankings were quickly released.
Jiang Hai's wine does indeed completely crush the wines of these brands in terms of taste. After all, these brands did not bring out the best wines to compete. What they came to compete was just their main brand wines this year, which were basically three types. Years to five years.
If they bring out those rare wines that are more than ten years old, Jiang Hai's first love may not be their match because of his inherent limitations.
However, compared with Jiang Hai's wine, these commercial wines are indeed far behind. There is nothing good to say about this.
In the fourth list, Jiang Hai still dominates the list, and there is nothing to say in the subsequent awards.
It is unlikely that the gold medal does not belong to Jiang Hai. In this way, Jiang Hai's first trip to Europe was a success!
After winning a gold medal, Dulles Gerald and O'Connor Murphy took the remaining wine to Brussels, the capital of Belgium, where they would also attend another cocktail party, while Jiang Hai and the others returned to Paris, France.
Although they don't have a good impression of this country and its people, Jiang Hai and the others will still come here for a tour.
