Chapter 271 [Who is the master of wine tasting? 】
Of course it is not really a big pot on the head, but this judge is also very unique. He wears a hat that doesn't look like a hat, and says that the hat doesn't look like a hat on the head. At first glance, it looks like a big pot with its mouth on the head. If he wears a cloth robe, he will be a monk from the Warring States Period of the island country.
Moreover, this guy is really wearing a cloth robe, still white, with colorful thread embroidered on the front and back of his chest. There is only a braised chicken on his chest and a roast duck on his back. His arms shaking off, but they are crabs and shrimps. This outfit is so awesome that it is not enough to describe as being unique. No matter how normal people look at it, they feel like they are crazy.
Isn't he just a madman?
Zhou Yi suddenly remembered an alternative figure in the food industry that Zhang Zhao and Tang Bao mentioned, including the first "He Crazy Man" in the six northern provinces of China.
It is said that this person is not only good at cooking, but also a great man who makes wine. He is obsessed with the way of studying diet. He is not careful on the details on weekdays, but when he comes to formal occasions, he likes to wear a pot cap and a picture of chicken, duck, fish, fish, crab and shrimp. It is very similar to a man wearing a long gown at Kyoto University in his modern age, and soaking a 19-year-old young lady in his seventies.
Since ancient times, all of those who have talented people have quirks. This is the case with this madman. He suddenly came and went, cooked dishes in the Nanshui Palace of the Imperial City, catching wine in the ancient garden, and then ran to nowhere. Even Tang Bao couldn't see where he was. Who would have thought he would have come to France and become a judge in this competition?
Zhou Yi felt that the world was so small. He had been famous for this crazy man for a long time, but he didn't expect to see him here. As soon as he appeared, some foreign reporters exclaimed, probably because they regarded him as a judge of a performance artist. This is also the first judge to steal the limelight from the contestants since the creation of the world?
But why don’t you bother to pay attention to these foreign reporters? Instead, they looked at Zhou Yi up and down a few times and nodded at him with a smile. Zhou Yi also responded with a smile. This mad master in the Chinese food industry has been obsessed with cooking and wine all his life. He is the real seeker who is obsessed with fame and fortune, which makes him admire him.
The lottery results have come out now. Zhou Jingjing draws "wine tasting" and the owner of the Royal Paris restaurant draws "dessert". These two results disappoint the experts. She looks forward to the media representative Aimeri who can draw a cold dish and hot dish. Who would have thought that today she would be evil. She draws "pasta", which is what Huaxia Qinxing calls "white table".
Wine tasting, pastry, desserts, whether Chinese or French, they are inseparable from these three things; but after all, these are not mainstream, they are all green leaves. The experts are naturally a little disappointed, while the laymen are excited, especially for women, pastries and desserts are their favorites.
Several judges discussed and decided to compete with wine tasting first. As for pastry and desserts, these two items have intersections, such as how to classify desserts made from noodles? In the end, the Sam Judge from America proposed that since both items were used as competition items, it is stipulated that the pastry item is the staple food, such as buns, dumplings and various noodles. Even if the buns made with bean paste are made, they are still regarded as pastry. As for desserts, it is naturally a sweet word, but the snacks, ice cream and other items should be mainly used as snacks for meals. The staple food should not be involved. This proposal was immediately unanimously recognized by several judges.
With the careful planning of the judges, the first session was to compare the chef's basic skills and taste wine.
Diet and drink first. Of course, you can be a chef if you can’t taste wine. But you have to be an outstanding, top-notch and glorious people’s chef. How can you do without the skill of tasting wine? Whether it is Chinese or French, there are many famous dishes that need to be tasted with wine. In addition, how good is the chef’s tasting skills of wine, it can also reflect whether there is a tongue that can taste all kinds of flavors.
So this game is not only about experience, but also more important than talent. For example, Yang Cai is born with a wonderful tongue, which is brought out from the womb. It is useless for anyone to envy it.
It was not until this moment that Master Louis opened his pair lazily and was covered with black cloth. The same is true for Zhou Yi. According to the rules of the wine tasting competition, both sides must judge the type, year and level of the wine based on their taste and smell in this state. Each person tasted five glasses of wine, and finally decided with accuracy.
As the winner of the French Silver Spoon Award, Master Louis got the right to taste wine first. After taking a glass of red wine, he swayed the wine glass very gentlemanly, sniffed it carefully, and then proudly put it down and said, "I'm sorry, I don't want this low-level daily meal wine to harm the taste. This is made of the most common red grapes. In France, there are more grapes of this level than the dead grass on the Little Pyrenees, and the price per bottle will not exceed 50 francs. It's really bad."
It's amazing! Before Louis finished speaking, applause came from the "Take Hall".
As we all know, although French red wine is famous all over the world, it also has many levels. The cheapest one is this kind of daily dining wine, which can be bought in many supermarkets or mass-market stores. It is the most common level with the least stringent restrictions. As Master Louis, I naturally disdain it.
Among red wines, the one that is higher than this daily meal is regional meals, with prices ranging from about one hundred to three hundred francs; above, there are excellent regional meals, and you can enter high-end restaurants when you reach this level, but it is not really a top-notch wine.
The truly top-notch wine is the "legal wine" of the AOC level. For example, Lafite and Mouton all belong to this category. They are the nobles of wines that can enter the top restaurants. One bottle can make ordinary people bankrupt; it is also divided into local AOC, regional AOC and village AOC. Each has its own strengths. It is difficult to say which one is higher or lower. As for products of special years, such as Mouton in 45, it is already an antique, and the French president may not be able to afford it.
The classification of red wine is so detailed that it is not easy to distinguish. You must be a real wine tasting expert. Even the lowest-level daily wine can at least be tasted before you can distinguish it. But Master Louis actually sniffed it blindly. How can this not be admired?
"Hehe... He Qianzi looked calm. He looked at Zhou Yi, who was blindfolded, but he didn't know what he was thinking.
"Haha. It seems that my luck is much better than Mr. Louis. This is a glass of Fenjiu produced in northwest China, and it is also a raw rice ball. Well. If I had not made a mistake in judgment, this wine should have been more than five years. However, the bartender may not know about China wine, or are joking with me, how can I mix the cocktail with blue rose flavor in this wine? This is not vodka... Zhou Yi didn't drink it either, but just took the wine glass and passed it under his nose. He made the above evaluation.
"Mr. Zhou is right, it really makes people admire your hunting dog-like sense of smell." The bartender couldn't help but give a thumbs up. He originally wanted to make things difficult for this young Chinese man, but he didn't expect that he would find the trick if he didn't have to drink. He couldn't accept it.
"Rum. It tastes hot as ever, and it tastes thick and has the vicissitudes of the sea. Was this discovered on a pirate shipwreck? Is the Chinese Food Association really willing to spend money?"
Zhou Yi's performance made Louis start to face it, but he had a very strong capital. This time he just licked it and then drank it in one sip. Of course, he couldn't let go of good wine.
"Well, good wine, with the aroma of leather and shrubs, and the taste of wine changes a lot. It's like a child with a strange temper. This is Pinot Noir, the only red grape variety produced in the Burgundy region. Although it is not as famous as Cabernet Sauvignon and has a wide range of planting, it also requires special craftsmanship when brewing, but the taste is unique and conforms to its aoc level... The cooking profession has the function of identifying ingredients, who has Zhou Yi been afraid of? Not to mention these common wines, even if the association brings the nameless private brew of the indigenous African tribes, he can tell the year and raw materials. Can Louis be successful?
"Moutai, the Chinese liquor, which is as famous as Wuliangye, is as mellow and fragrant as ever. It's a pity that its value does not match the price, just like many Chinese products. However, those products were dumped at low prices, but they sold stones for jade. The mediator was naughty again. Did you add champagne here? And it's American! Oh, my God, this is really a chicken and duck talk. Also, I have to tell you that no matter how bad the Chinese Moutai is, the champagne produced in the United States is a blasphemy against it. Dear, you wouldn't think that a country with less than three hundred years of history can make real champagne? This is simply ridiculous... Louis is obviously a **Liancian. While belittling Moutai, he trampled on the Americans. Anyway, he was blindfolded and could not see the face of Sam's judge turned into pig liver.
In a blink of an eye, Zhou Yi and Louis both tasted four glasses of wine. Both of them talked freely, and the types, years, and origins of the wine were all right. Everyone nodded frequently and began to look forward to the fifth glass of wine that should be the most difficult to evaluate as usual.
"Both gentlemen are real wine tasting masters. If you come to be bartenders, I'm afraid I'll change careers to sell cigarettes... The bartender humorously laughed at himself before throwing a bombshell: "But the last glass of wine is very difficult to evaluate. I believe that even the greatest taster will be helpless. Because it is very difficult to mix and it is the best test of both sides, the fifth glass of wine of both is the same. However, for fairness, one of the two must avoid it first and wait for the other to review before coming back. Which one can say the most in detail is the winner of this game."
The judges have tasted this fifth glass of wine. Even if they can’t drink it, they have seen the bartender’s answer. Therefore, this is the requirement of the judges.
"Okay, then I'll avoid it first. Please give me a taste first... Zhou Yi smiled slightly, untied the blindfolded cloth, and guided by a service staff to a soundproof room in the hall.
