"48 points! It's close to a perfect score!"
"So strong! Is Reese's Tavern's explosive wine going to win a gold medal this year?"
The audience was also in an uproar. In the past thirty or so groups, there were not many wines that could score 40 points, and even fewer that could score 45 points. The explosive wine was only two points short of the full score. Judging from the experience of previous sessions, it was There is a very good chance of winning the gold medal.
Reese's Tavern is very famous in Luodu and is one of the top high-end pubs in Luodu. Although it has not won a gold medal, many wines have won silver medals at wine tasting conferences.
Explosive wine is the signature wine of Reese's Tavern. In this wine tasting conference, explosive wine was once again used in the competition, and it was recognized by the judges, which shows the ambition of the owner of Reese's Tavern.
Everyone's eyes subconsciously turned to the middle-aged man sitting in the front row who was wearing golden clothes, with neatly styled hair, and was shiny.
"Congratulations to Mr. Boris, it seems that there is hope for a gold medal this year."
The people next to me have already started to congratulate.
The decent-looking middle-aged man smiled and cupped his hands, not showing too much excitement.
"The taste of the wine can only be considered average. It seems that this wine has a unique taste." Mag thought in his heart, forty-eight points is indeed a high score. At least judging from the previous scores, these four judges are professional and strict.
"The owner of Reese's Tavern is very powerful. He owns many pubs, and each pub has multiple flagship wines. It is said that he has recruited many powerful winemakers and has been committed to developing better wines." Effie introduced, He looked at the man with admiration.
Mag nodded and glanced at Boris a few more times.
Those who dare to invest energy and money for innovation are worthy of admiration. Because of their existence, an industry can continue to move forward.
And a tavern has more good wines to choose from, which is also a very strong core competitiveness. This may be the reason why Reese's Tavern does not have gold medal wine, but it is still one of the top taverns in Luodu.
After the explosive wine received high scores, several more wines received high scores of around 45 points.
Most of them are wines that have won gold medals, but according to the rules of the wine tasting conference, if there is no obvious improvement or optimization in the previous gold medal wines, an additional 3 points will be deducted.
"This rule is very spiritual." Mag couldn't help but praise after listening to Effie's explanation.
This is a rule that can continuously promote the improvement and innovation of outstanding winemakers, and it is also a rule that gives opportunities to more young winemakers.
"The Fine Wine Association is an organization led by fine wine lovers. In essence, it is a consumer association." Effie said with a smile.
"Aren't they drunk?" Irina, who had been silent, looked at the judges on the stage and said.
It is now the forty-fifth group. Although wine tasting is done with small glasses and small sips, more than 200 different wines are mixed together. Even if you only take a small sip of each wine, it is not something that ordinary drinkers can bear. .
"The judges' drinking capacity is quite good, so under normal circumstances there is no problem. And even if a judge is really drunk, there are still several reserve judges who can come on stage to ensure that the wine tasting conference can proceed normally." Effie Explained with a smile.
"The alcohol capacity is indeed quite alarming." Mag nodded. His alcohol capacity was acceptable, but he was not sure that he could still stay sober after drinking more than 200 drinks.
However, after drinking more than 200 kinds of wine and having to make comments, the mental state of the five judges was somewhat exhausted, and they did not seem to be as positive as they were at the beginning.
"The following is the fiftieth group." The host announced, and soon a staff member brought a black slender wine bottle.
"It's Titan wine!" Effie sat upright unconsciously, staring closely at the bottle of wine held by the staff.
Mag also showed a bit of interest on his face. With the quality of Titan wine and thirty years of brewing in the cellar, it was no problem to kill the so-called explosive wine instantly.
The spectators in the audience are also a little tired. Several wines that were more anticipated before the wine tasting conference have been released one after another. The suspense has disappeared. Most of the gold medals in this wine tasting conference will be taken away by the explosive wine.
The staff showed everyone the intact seal on the wine bottle, then uncorked the wine in front of everyone, and poured it into the wine glasses one by one.
The fragrant aroma of the wine spread out instantly. It was an elegant combination of grape fruit aroma and aged wood aroma, which instantly made the originally dull venue come alive.
"This wine smells good!" Baron Kurt suddenly stood up and looked at the wine glass brought by the staff in disbelief.
The golden wine swayed slightly in the crystal cup, as bright as a gem.
"Isn't this...Titan Wine?! Brewed by Marcus himself!" Fergus also stood up with a look of disbelief on his face.
The performance and words of Kurt and Fergus caused quite a commotion at the scene.
Titan wine was the gold medal wine at the first wine tasting conference more than 30 years ago. It was created by winemaker Marcus. With its unique aroma and incredible strength, it has left a legendary figure in the wine world of Luodu.
However, since Marcus died in a robbery fifteen years ago, the authentic Titan wine has come to an end.
Although the Titan Tavern is still open, the Titan wine brewed by his daughter Effie is far from the authentic Titan wine, and it has gradually become a third-rate tavern.
Over the years, Titan Tavern has participated in wine tasting conferences almost every day, but the score could not exceed thirty minutes, not even reaching the passing mark.
Unexpectedly, the aroma of the Titan wine brought out by Titan Tavern today eclipsed the previous wines, and even made the judges and drinkers unable to remain calm.
"It is worthy of being the first gold medal wine. Just smelling the aroma of the wine makes me feel drunk."
"Not only did it win the gold medal in the first session, but Titan Wine won the gold medal three times in ten years. Continuous improvement on top of quality products is the real legend."
"The Titan wine back then was the best wine in Luodu City. I can't forget the taste even after more than ten years. I didn't expect that I can still smell its fragrance here today."
"Yeah, it's a pity that a talented winemaker like Marcus died young."
…
Listening to everyone's words, Effie's eyes flashed with tears.
It turns out that even after so many years, there are still people who remember his father and the original taste of Titan wine.
Glasses of wine were delivered to the five judges, and their expressions were a little complicated.
Kurt and Fergus were the organizers of the wine tasting conference that year, and they participated in awarding the first gold medal to Marcus. They also witnessed Marcus’s research and improvement of Titan wine, which turned into three wines in ten years. Gold medal legend.
Unexpectedly, fifteen years later, a piece of Titan wine brewed by Marcus himself would be brought to them again.
"Miss Effie, I respect and love Master Marcus very much. He is a talented winemaker, and a persistent and determined winemaker. Even after fifteen years, the legend of him and Titan Wine is still engraved in our hearts. In my heart." Kurt stood looking at Effie sitting in the audience, with a somewhat complicated expression and said: "Thank you very much for letting us feel his unparalleled charm again, but according to the rules of the wine tasting conference, the solitary wine collection It cannot be entered into competitions as it means it cannot be purchased by guests in your pub."
