Chapter 446 Wine Tasting
New York, h. c. The exclusive flagship store of d is crowded with people, not only the big experts in the wine industry are invited, but also some representatives of wine merchants and rich people. It's just that they all taste wine in the hall, and those experts taste wine in a specific small meeting room.
Zhen Fan and Sampson personally entertained these connoisseurs in the small conference room, while in the hall there were mainly sexy beauties in sexy uniforms, which can be regarded as following the trend, and good wine and beauties complement each other.
In the small conference room, except for the senior Pete. Gandalf and Jayne In addition to Forbes, there are several wine experts who are well-known in the United States.
Pete Gandalf pinched the stem of the goblet with his fingers, turned it slightly counterclockwise, then lowered his head and put his nose into the wine glass to smell, took a sip, closed his eyes and slowly aftertaste. Although a glass of wine is strictly only one-third full, the whole drinking process seems a bit slow.
"Do you usually drink like this?" Zhen Fan sat on the side, leaned over, and whispered to Sampson in a holy voice that only two people could hear.
"Sometimes it is like this!" Sampson nodded seriously.
Zhen Fan froze for a moment, then looked at him in surprise and smiled: "Do you know how I drink wine?"
"Is it like them too?"
"No, I usually fill up my glass and then drink it up in one gulp!" Zhen Fan chuckled and shook his head, "Sampson, I realize that you are really good at lying, in fact... I have seen you like me Same drinking!"
"Okay, I saw it. I really...drink like you, because I can't help but want to get drunk when I drink. If I drink like them, it's better to kill me! "Sampson chuckled, "But... in front of those big people, I will still be like them, even though... I am very uncomfortable!"
It's hard to imagine that of these two guys, one has brewed world-class top wines, and the other has vowed to build the world's number one wine empire. To have such a vulgar drinking habit. If only the experts who were frowning, stretching, and grinning would know. It must be painful.
"Alas—" Pete Gandalf first let out a sigh, shook his head, and then sat on the chair in a daze, as if he was thinking about something important.
"What's the matter?" Although he knew that the quality of the wine was very good. Sampson's heart still beat faster. He couldn't help asking, he didn't want the signboard to be smashed just like that. After all, after this wine tasting, there will be a press conference, and Pete Gandalf and Jayne. Forbes will also be in attendance.
"I do not know how to put it,
It should be very good, the second best wine I tasted! Peter Gandalf nodded, with a smile on his face. "It's just..."
"Just what? What is the wine that ranks first?" Sampson was a little impatient.
Zhen Fan took Sampson's hand and said in a low voice: "Don't worry. Listen to Mr. Gandalf!" He sat there calmly, without any signs of getting angry.
"The number one is naturally h.c.d. When I tasted h.c.d at your place, I felt incredible. It turns out that in this world, emotions can really be tasted in wine. So I thought at the time that it was the number one wine in the world.”
"Yes, I very much agree with Mr. Gandalf's words!"
At this time, sitting in Pete. Jayne next to Gandalf Forbes also spoke. He put down his wine glass, which was already empty. It seemed that he was very devoted to his taste.
"I have been brewing wine for decades, but I have never produced a wine that is as impressive as h.c.d. I have to say that in terms of wine making, I am inferior to you! You are the best! "
Most people's evaluation of these words seems to be flattering, but what they don't know is that this is Jayne. Forbes’ deepest words, he still has another purpose today, which is to share his wine making experience with Zhen Fan. Although some of them may involve commercial secrets, he really seems to want Zhen Fan to unravel some of the things in his heart. a doubt. Even paying some price is acceptable.
"But... I also have a little doubt!" Jayne? Forbes had one final word.
"Because it's second?" Sampson turned to Jayne. Forbes said, "I know that this kind of wine is indeed inferior to h.c.d, but... because it is mass-produced, it is possible that mass production of h.c.d cannot reach the fine brewing Original!"
"Well, that's exactly what I wanted to say." Pete Gandalf nodded as he said, "The taste of the wine is almost the same as h.c.d, but the aftertaste is not the same level, but... I believe that once this kind of wine is on the market, the price of luxury goods will fade away, and the remaining All that's left is the passion of a wine lover!"
"Thank you very much," Zhen Fan nodded to Gandalf.
"But... Mr. Gandalf sighed just now, why?" Sampson still remembered this matter, and he felt that he must figure out this issue, which involved the future of his wine empire.
"I'm just regretting... If the quality of h.c.d can be achieved and mass production can be achieved, it will be the best of both worlds. So..." Gandalf smiled, "But... things always It can't be too perfect, because that will make God jealous!"
"Haha, Gandalf, you said what I wanted to say!" Forbes also laughed aside, "It's just... I have a lot of questions about brewing that I need to ask!"
"Do you want to brew wine like this?" Gandalf looked at Forbes in surprise.
"I want to, but...it is impossible for me to replicate Mr. Zhen's work and the secret method of brewing wine, so I just ask Mr. Zhen some doubts in the process of brewing wine. It would be great if I could improve the quality of my wine making I can't imagine that I will make such a fine wine one day!" Forbes was blunt.
After the wine tasting in the small conference room, the two most authoritative masters finally set the tone, and the rest of the people began to echo Peter. Gandalf and Jayne After Forbes' opinions finally formed a unified tone, a press conference was held subsequently.
Zhen Fan's wine has become famous even before it is officially distributed nationwide. On the one hand, it is because many celebrities still support it, and on the other hand, it is also because of the loan from h. c. d's first name. If you add the information released by the authoritative person this time, it may be difficult to think that it will not be popular.
There were not many reporters at the press conference, but they basically gathered reporters from the most authoritative traditional media and new media in the United States. After all, this is not a big news.
"Mr. Gandalf, is the wine really as good as it says it is?"
"Yes, it's even better than what's said in the publicity. I told the master winemaker, Mr. Zhen, that this is the second-ranked wine in the world!" Gandalf said eloquently, "Of course it ranks The first one is also h.c.d produced by Mr. Zhen, I don't think I need to say more about the reputation of this wine!"
"No. 2 in the world? Is there any suspicion of exaggeration?" The reporter's words were all about saying, is there any exchange of interests behind the scenes?
"No, I'm guaranteeing it with my thirty years of wine tasting reputation and my professional reputation." Gandalf said solemnly, "Please believe me!"
Zhen Fan took the microphone at this time and said: "After the press conference, there will be a wine tasting specially prepared for you. Only professional journalists like you are qualified to taste wine. Let us speak with facts!"
"I can also guarantee Mr. Zhen!" At this time, Jayne who was on the side Forbes also chimed in.
Jayne Forbes' words undoubtedly increased the leverage of Gandalf's words, making many reporters have to seriously consider the authenticity of their words.
Of course, at the subsequent wine tasting, almost all reporters had to admit after tasting that the words of Mr. Gandalf and Mr. Forbes were very accurate.
During the wine tasting session of the reporters, Forbes impatiently pulled Zhen Fan into the small conference room. This time, only the two of them stayed inside, while Gandalf and Sampson had to stay outside. Drink and chat with those reporters, and repeatedly explain to those reporters who still have doubts.
After the two turned around, they walked to a corner. Gandalf looked enviously at the door of the small meeting room and said to Sampson, "I'm a little jealous of Mr. Forbes. If I can also make wine, I will I will definitely follow up and discuss it with Zhen Fan."
"Don't worry about this, I have prepared a little thought for you, and it is also a heart that you are worthy of!" Sampson said to Gandalf mysteriously, "Do you know that it is actually brewed by Mr. Zhen? Among the wines, the best drink is not h.c.d, but another kind of wine, improved on the basis of h.c.d, with a much higher alcohol content. But this kind of wine is not for sale. I call the shots and got two bottles for you and Forbes, one for each of you!"
"What?" Gandalf felt that there was something wrong with his ears.
"Yes, you heard it right, I will give you and Mr. Forbes a bottle of wine that is better than h.c.d, and it is not available in the market. If you want to taste a glass first, I will I can take you to my office, but... I only have one bottle in my collection."
"Of course, I'm very happy!" Gandalf couldn't wait.
"Follow me!" Sampson shook his head towards Gandalf, and the two of them slipped aside quietly and entered Sampson's office. He took out a bottle of wine, and his appearance was similar to that of h. c. d is generally the same.
The wine was poured out slowly, and then a scent of wine slowly infiltrated Gandalf's heart.
"Good wine!" Gandalf couldn't help but yelled loudly before he started drinking, and then Sampson stopped with a shake of his hand. It was just a quarter of a glass, and Gandalf couldn't help but It hurts, if you bark a little later, can you drink half a glass? (To be continued..)
