Chapter 153: Wine Tasting Time
Isabel's face, from the smile to the subtle eye performance, is perfect, Wendy fell in love with her at first sight, even Chu Yan couldn't help but be a little fond of this woman, of course, this was before Chu Yan didn't hold Isabel's hand, after holding Isabel's hand, when Isabel's palm and Chu Yan's palm were attached together, Chu Yan's love couldn't help it, and it disappeared in an instant.
"Congratulations!" "Congratulations!" Letting go of Isabel's hand, Chu Yan nodded at Wendy on the side, and then said congratulations with a smile, and Mo Xiyao also stopped what he was doing on the side, Wendy has a girlfriend, this matter must be celebrated, fortunately, there are a large number of world-class wines here.
"Thank you, okay guys, are we going to change places? It seems that the wine tasting in the office is a little inappropriate, Xiyao, are you right?" Wendy looked at Mo Xiyao, the expression on his face was very happy, he had been chasing Mo Xiyao for many years, although he had never reached a battle, but the relationship between the two people was still very deep, although this relationship was not about the love between men and women, but just pure friendship.
"That's right, Wendy is right, let's go to the second floor. Mo Xiyao nodded and stood up from the chair, although the environment in the office is spacious enough, it is an office space after all, it seems really not suitable to sit together and chat and taste wine, and on the second floor, in addition to the private room, there are more than a dozen six-seater large card tables, the environment is elegant and relatively private, chatting, talking, and tasting wine are very suitable.
Under the leadership of Mo Xiyao, everyone went to a card platform on the second floor, Chu Yan, Mo Xiyao, Wan Caini, Wendy and Isabel sat down in two groups, Wendy and Isabel sat on one side, Mo Xiyao and Wan Caini sat on both sides of Chu Yan, and after the five people sat down, Tina had already brought out four bottles of red wine without any labels on them from the underground cellar of Silver Palm.
"Please take your time. The people in front of her were all acquaintances, Tina put down the red wine and turned to leave, these people sat here, there was no need for her service, four bottles of red wine were placed diagonally on the wine shelf, and on the side, there were also four corkscrews for opening red wine.
"Xi Yao, are we still the same old rules?" Wendy looked at the four bottles of red wine in front of him, the expression on his face was very charming, Wendy, who was romantic in his bones, in addition to his business talent, has an extremely obsessive personality for red wine, which is also the main reason why he came to Mo Xiyao every week to taste red wine, of course, tasting red wine is also to be able to better pursue Mo Xiyao, unfortunately, although the relationship between the two is good, but Mo Xiyao has always had only friendship with Wendy, and there is no love between men and women, even so, Wendy still has a very good gentlemanly demeanor, and did not choose to completely give up the pursuit of Mo Xiyao until not long ago。
Isabel's appearance was at this time, Wendy was personable, and a successful multi-gold merchant, coupled with a tall and handsome appearance, and a heart that has been hurt countless times, and Isabel's magic is incomprehensible to ordinary people, Wendy was fascinated by her just two days after meeting Isabel, and the two fell in love like lightning, until today, the two seem to be in love now, but in fact, they are in love, and it is only a week.
"Okay, but I won't be ugly today, with Jenny and Chu Yan here, I'll just drink. Mo Xiyao took over the conversation with a smile, wiped one of the bottles of red wine with a clean towel, and then put it in front of Wendy, the rule of the two of them is to judge the brand and year of a bottle of red wine by smelling and tasting, which is why there is no label on these red wine bottles.
"Isabel, you come first. Wendy nodded, and didn't say much, the two of them came today, in addition to tasting and chatting, there is actually a very important thing, but the current situation is not suitable for mentioning for the time being, especially Wendy's pickiness about the topic of wine tasting, and that matter can't be exported at this moment.
"Okay. Isabel is the kind of unusually standard European face, with deep eyes, a tall and straight nose, round and three-dimensional plump lips, and a faint smile on her face, which makes her look extremely perfect, this kind of perfection looks a little weird in the eyes of Mo Xiyao and Wan Caini, and in Chu Yan's eyes, this kind of perfection can be called textbook, without the slightest loophole, but it is also very important, that is, there is no impressive special point.
This kind of evaluation is the most appropriate at the moment, but if you want to ask carefully, what is Isabelle's beauty, I'm afraid no one will pick it out, because this woman is too perfect, every detail is perfect, but the same kind of beauty is also an unreal embodiment.
"Boer!" There was a crisp sound, and the cork in the mouth of the red wine bottle was pulled out by Isabel, and suddenly a faint aroma of wine wafted out, Isabel took the wine bottle in front of her nose and smelled it, and then closed her eyes as if savoring the taste.
When her eyes opened, the expression on her face was already confident, she raised the wine bottle again, poured a little red wine into a glass, then put the wine bottle aside and woke up, picked up the glass, looked at the rich purple in the glass, and the corners of Isabel's mouth gradually curled.
Pouring the red wine into her mouth at once, Isabel closed her eyes again, took the deep purple liquid in her mouth, and devoted herself to savoring, feeling and even searching for the little bit of the wine directly with her soul.
At this moment, Mo Xiyao seemed to understand why Isabel would enter Wendy's world, just by virtue of this investment in wine tasting, the two of them belonged to the same kind of people, and it could be seen that Isabel had already tasted the origin and year of this bottle of wine, but she had repeatedly confirmed and confirmed, which was exactly the same as Wendy!
"Intense deep purple with complex aromas of black fruits, caramel, mocha and vanilla, pure, concentrated and full-bodied on the palate, with a hint of acidity in the sweet tannins and a persistent finish. After swallowing the wine, Isabel slowly lowered the glass, and began to make a simple and straightforward explanation of the taste of this bottle of wine.
"This should be the Merlot of Château Percher, and it should be one of Château Paltro's most mythical vintages, the Merlot of 1998. In the end, Isabel gave her conclusion, and Chu Yan was the first to applaud gently, not loudly, but very timely, Wendy, Mo Xiyao and Wan Caini also nodded one after another, and the gentle applause did not seem abrupt at all in this quiet space.
"I remember in the Kennedy era, Champ Petrid's Merlot was the White House's favorite, '98 was a magical vintage, when Château Parker's grapes were more perfect than any other year, and Château Parker's usual practice was to harvest early, then let it ripen slowly, and finally when the full grain reached its peak, it was used to make wine, and then there was the Merlot legend. Wendy just picked up the finished wine glass and sniffed it, and was sure of the results of Isabel's tasting, for this bottle of ninety-eight year old Merlot, Wendy should still have a lot of inventory.
"Miss Isabel is familiar with wine, can you tell us a little bit about how you two met?" Wan Caini is very interested in this almost sideways beauty Isabel, because she knows Wendy very well, in the past at least five years, Wendy has never given up the pursuit of Mo Xiyao, during which she has witnessed countless romantic courtships on the side, but her sworn friend doesn't know which tendon is wrong, and she has never agreed to Wendy, but such a man suddenly has a girlfriend, and it is so beautiful that people dare not look at it directly, the story between the two people will be very exciting。
"Oh, Miss Jenny, you're joking, it was the guidance of the arrow of Eros between me and Wendy that led to today's love at first sight. Isabel said with a happy face leaning on Wendy's shoulder, the two of them did not forget the kiss of their expressions, men and women in love will not care about the surrounding environment.
"Love at first sight?yes, Wendy, in order to congratulate you on finding your other half, and the most enviable love at first sight, are we going to have a toast together?" Mo Xiyao said, picking up the bottle of ninety-eight Merlot that had been awake to the side, and pouring dark purple wine into everyone's glass.
"Thank you. Thank you for your blessings, cheers. Wendy picked up the wine glass, and after touching the glass with Mo Xiyao and the others one by one, she raised her head and took a big sip with a happy face, the dark purple liquid tumbled between her lips and teeth for a moment, and finally all entered the stomach from under the throat.
Drinking wine is actually a very time-consuming thing, a bottle of valuable red wine in just half an hour later, it bottomed out, maybe Wendy has been very excited today, maybe Chu Yan is simply drinking on the side, in short, the wine is drunk quickly, there is no feeling of slow tasting and long aftertaste between Wendy and Mo Xiyao in the past.
"Next, I suggest that Wendy's life-saving benefactor, Mr. Chu, come and open the bottle for tasting, what do you think?" Isabel had a faint pink glow on her face and drank a large glass of red wine, which made her look more and more charming.
"Okay! I agree!" The first one to agree was Wan Caini, and then Wendy also smiled and nodded, Mo Xiyao just laughed and didn't say anything on the side, it seemed that Chu Yan's previous performance made her want to laugh a little, and now let Chu Yan taste the wine, except for waiting to see Chu Yan's jokes, Mo Xiyao didn't seem to have any other thoughts in her heart.
"Chu Yan, you... Okay?" Mo Xiyao's face, provocation and distrust were obvious, because wine tasting and fighting had nothing to do with it, Chu Yan was very good at fighting, and Mo Xiyao had seen it countless times, but drinking and fighting were not related to each other at all, and at the same time, the ghost made a god say something that made Wan Caini almost laugh on the side.
"Mr. Chu is fine, right, dear, the person who can save you must be omnipotent. Isabel smiled faintly at Mo Xiyao, then turned to Wendy and whispered.
To tell the truth, Mo Xiyao's sentence "Chu Yan, are you okay?" was a bit of a slap in the face too hard, although Chu Yan could feel it, Mo Xiyao said this sentence meaning that he wanted to taste this bottle of wine instead of him, but I don't know how to use this word a little cramping, but the matter has come to this point, and the only thing that works is known is if I have tried it.
With a smile on his face, Chu Yan opened one of the bottles, and the moment the cork left the wine bottle, the smile on Chu Yan's face had already risen faintly.
