Chapter 365 During the Wine Tasting Party

In Liu Ming's wine cellar, besides the wine produced by his own winery, there is also a Liu Ming collection wine cellar, which houses many famous wines.

Liu Ming opened a bottle of 1996 Ygan Chateau rotten white wine, poured a glass and handed it to Li Han. "Lusalus Wine Castle is famous for its "noble rot liqueur" which has been stored for a long time and has become sweeter after a hundred years. This is a 1996 wine released in 2001. Robert Parker scored 100 points. You must know that there are still wines in China. Not a single wine was rated by Parker."

Chateau Yquem, also known as Château Lusalus, is a super first-class winery, the only one in the world, surpassing the five first-class wineries of Lafite, Latour, Margaux, Hongyanrong and Mouton. It may not be the most famous in the world, but it is indeed the wine that wine lovers are persistently pursuing. It is said that Château Lusalus rot can be stored for at least 100 years, and it is definitely a beauty with eternal charm. Li Han took a sip, and there was indeed a peculiar fragrance, but unfortunately Liu Ming didn't have many here.

"really not bad."

Li Han sat down and looked at Liu Ming's private collection. There were quite a few red wines from Screaming Eagle Winery, and Screaming Eagle Cabernet Sauvignon dry red was the most. Seeing Li Han staring at the Cabernet Sauvignon, Liu Ming said with a smile. "Although the taste of this wine is not the best, the price is not cheap."

A box of nine bottles costs nearly 25,000 US dollars, which is beyond Li Han's imagination. "It's a pity that most of the red wine from Screaming Eagle Winery is collected commercially." Liu Ming shook his head slightly, opened a bottle and poured a glass to Li Han.

For this dry red wine worth more than two thousand dollars, Li Han was a little hesitant. He took a sip, and the taste was quite good, but he couldn’t tell what was good about it. Li Han liked the bottle of Chateau Ygan, which was less than five hundred dollars. I like rotten white better.

Liu Ming smiled when he saw it. "Han, there is a wine tasting tonight, a wine tasting jointly organized by Constellation Company and the Chris family. It will be held at Mondavi Winery under Constellation, Screaming Eagle Winery, Shad Winery, Harlan Winery, Bryan Special family winery, Boru winery, Dalaval winery, Scarecrow winery, Sloan winery, Opus One and many top wineries in Napa have received invitations. LU This will be the largest winery in the United States in 2009 A wine tasting party, are you interested?"

"Of course, I want to see the demeanor of the top wine merchants in the United States." Li Han said with a smile, shaking the wine glass in his hand. "Han, you think too highly of these guys. You must know that the price of red wine from the top five first-growth wineries in France has continued to drop this year. Americans see opportunities. Perhaps the huge demand in the Chinese market is why these guys are staring at the fat."

Liu Ming is still clear about the more or less meaning in the invitation letter, but each takes what he wants. In terms of domestic market demand, there is not much difference between Europe and the United States, except that American red wine entered later, and the high-end market is completely monopolized by France.

The competitiveness of American red wine is not as good as that of the old wine country. Constellation and the Chris family intend to enter the Chinese market. Since Liu Ming, the God of Wealth, is in Napa, it is not surprising that the two families are wooing. "These guys have a good idea. Unfortunately, the French are not fools."

Liu Ming put down his wine glass,

Looking at Li Han. "Han. Are you interested in coming in and having fun? Maybe we can build a good brand." "Ming, you think highly of me. I'm still a layman when it comes to red wine." Li Han was moved.

The price of high-end red wine is not comparable to that of beer. The profit of red wine worth hundreds of thousands of dollars can be imagined, especially in the high-end market. Beer has inherent weaknesses and cannot be compared with red wine. Red wine is like a noble princess, but beer is an ordinary worker.

Liu Ming didn't persuade too much, perhaps, Liu Ming just had a whim. After leaving the wine cellar and returning to the courtyard, the mother is taking pictures with Dudu and the baby in the backyard. There is a nice garden, rockery, and pool here, which is a bit Jiangnan style.

Dudu and Baobao also made two small fishhooks, green bamboo fishing rods, and small hooks to catch small goldfish. Li Han glanced at Liu Ming. "The fishing rod is something I usually play with when I have nothing to do." "It's really fun." Liu Ming was a little speechless, a little bored and just messed with it. He didn't expect Dudu and Baobao to find it. "Auntie, how about rest?" "It's good, it's very clean here, Liu Ming, thank you." Zhang Xiuying likes the environment here, the courtyard is full of Chinese elements, she feels very comfortable, sitting and watching her granddaughter and granddaughter, playing Nao, the classic book in my hand is very good.

Before dinner, Li Han received a call and got the news that Jock and Big Big Wolf seemed to have gone to the winery in the afternoon, and their mood had changed. Li Han called Gilberg. "Jill, things seem to be going well, get ready, we're about to start."

At dinner, when Li Han mentioned the wine tasting, Zhang Xiuying shook her head. "You and Liu Ming go, Dudu and the baby, I'll take it with you." My mother doesn't like this kind of reception, but Dudu likes it very much. Du Xiao's mouth shrunk. "Dudu, baby, uncle has told the pastry chef to make some snacks for you, and they will be delivered in a while."

Sure enough, the two little devils nodded when they heard that they had some snacks, and they didn't bother Li Han. Liu Ming got ready for the car, and this time it was replaced by a Bentley. "Always make a show." Liu Ming got into the car and curled his lips.

Li Han understood that although the real rich don't need to fight for the rich, they don't need to pretend to be poor. The car drove slowly. "Han, there are people from the Chris family." "It's okay, not everyone can be a big boss, right?"

Li Han smiled, didn't care, and said some sarcasm, which might be taken lightly, but it didn't have much impact on Li Han. "I don't know which member of the Chris family is here?" "Maybe it's not a member of the Chris family."

Not long after, the car arrived at Mondavi Winery. Mondavi Winery is the largest winery producing high-quality wine in California, with an annual output of 1,500,000 cases of wine. Of course, compared to the past, the status of Mondavi Winery has declined a lot. The founder’s management is not good, the competition of top brands has failed, and the acquisition of Constellation Wine Company has brought about a series of changes. It is undeniable that it has brought advanced equipment such as stainless steel barrels and French oak barrels to the American red wine industry, as well as various advanced technologies such as low-temperature fermentation and natural planting methods. It's a pity that all that has passed, and now Mondavi Winery still loses its tradition and is just a red wine production factory.

Liu Minglu introduced some Constellation wine companies to Li Han, the largest wine producer and distributor in the United States, the largest beer importer, the third largest spirit producer and distributor, and the largest wine producer and distributor in the UK , Australia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, South Africa and Chile have their own production plants.

This is a real wine company, which is more for profit. Compared with the Chris family wine business, perhaps the difference is that one will make adjustments according to the market anytime and anywhere to sell any brand or winery in his hand, and the other will not give up on himself A family that sticks to traditional fields.

The car stopped, and Li Han took a look. There are quite a lot of famous cars. The two got out of the car, and slightly attracted some attention. Few Asians will participate in this kind of wine tasting. There is no red wine in Asia. This is the evaluation of Asian red wine in European and American countries. Simple and simple Disdain.

Liu Ming seems to be used to it, but Li Han is curious about the wine tasting process. "Oh, this is incredible, nice to see you again, Han, I think Luke will regret not coming to this reception."

Unexpectedly, Li Han met an acquaintance here and hugged Anna. "Anna, you are still so beautiful, how is Luke?" "Of course, he is fine, Han, would you like a drink?" Anna Rothschild, who owns the shares of Lafite Manor.

Luke Walton's wife, who likes white truffles, met Li Han and Anna several times at the last family gathering, and they had a good chat. I was a little surprised when I saw Li Han just now, but I didn't feel surprised when I thought about it. This is the largest wine tasting event in the United States.

Li Han introduced Liu Ming to Anna. Liu Ming really didn't know that Li Han had a good relationship with Chateau Lafite. Sure enough, Anna and Liu Ming were very interested in each other. Lafite has a very good reputation in the country, and Liu Ming's background is what Lafite Manor needs.

Fortunately, the two of them only had a brief chat and exchanged contact information without talking too much about it. When Anna asked, she had to know that she was at Liu Ming Winery and planned to meet Xiao after the reception.

Anna, who was talking with Li Han, saw a woman walking towards her, and stood up to greet her. "Dear little Anna." "Mrs. Robinson, it's very kind of you to come." Anna hugged this woman, and they seemed to be quite familiar with each other.

Liu Ming touched Li Han. "What a surprise. It's unbelievable to see Jessie Robinson here." "Is Jessie famous?" Li Han looked blank, and Liu Ming said with a sigh

"Jessie Robinson, Robert Parker and James Suckling are also known as the world's three major wine critics, and are known as the "First Lady of the Wine Industry". Her works are known as the "Wine Bible". The "jr rating" is also one of the three major wine rating systems recognized in the world."

Li Han really didn't know. Liu Ming introduced this lady in detail, which surprised Li Han. Jesse is one of the few wine sommeliers in the world who can add mw after their name.

It's no wonder that Anna and Jessie are familiar. It's not hard to guess that Lafite is one of the top five first-tier wineries in France. Most of the sommeliers are masters. Anna and the first lady of wine are very familiar. Anna introduced Liu Ming and Li Han to Jecis, but she didn't expect that Jecis had heard of Li Han and Liu Ming.

Jie Sisi was not surprised to hear about Liu Ming, but Li Han was a little surprised to hear about herself. "Oh, I really like the taste of Orchid." "Thank you." Li Han didn't expect the First Lady of Wine to drink beer.

"Unfortunately, Han, Youlan now belongs to the Chris family." "Mrs. Robinson, hello, I'm Chris Family Wine, Patton Chris, nice to meet you." Patton Chris bent over with a smile Congrats to Jesse.
