Found no one actually interpret the movie wine, it is only on this Pikachu, the film is actually a great wine entry, after reading the kind of wine would have a very comprehensive understanding, a little after carding will be equipped with X fresher .
Following Jack and Miles, we started a wine tasting tour. The first bottle of wine opened on the road was the 1992 Byron that Miles has been keeping. It is very rare. 100% Pinot Noir is from California (single variety), and they are no longer available. produced.
Jack asked a question, Pinot Noir, why is it white?
Miles replies: Oh my gosh, don't ask that kind of question in a wine estate. The color of red wine comes from the skins of the grapes. The juice of this wine is different. It flows naturally, not squeezed, so it does not touch the skins of the grapes during fermentation.
The first knowledge point of wine: red wine is made from red skin + red meat or red skin + white meat grapes, white wine is white grapes or red grapes peeled and fermented.
Common white wine varieties include: Riesling, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc
Common red wine varieties include: Pinot Noir, Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah/Shiraz, Merlot, Cabernet Franc
Stanford Wine Estate near SANTA ROSE Road, they produce top-notch Pinot and Chardonnay, one of the best wine producing areas in Santa Barbara, California
Jack: I thought you hated Chardonnay
Miles: No no no, I love all single-origin wines, I just don't really like the way California handles Chardonnay. Too much oak and malolactic fermentation.
The reason why this area is so suitable for Pinot grapes is that the cold air from the Pacific Ocean at night cools down the berry plants. Pinot is a very thin-skinned grape that does not like consistent heat and humidity. It is very delicate and delicious.
I have seen a good analogy between grape varieties and wine brands. He said that making wine is like cooking, and the quality of grapes is similar to chicken, duck, and fish. Li doesn’t like eating mutton (mutton tastes good), the winery will process the ingredients in different ways to create wines with different flavors. Just like eating chicken, she also encounters roast chicken, fried chicken, and chicken. Stewed mushrooms will also have their own preferences.
The single-origin wines mentioned by Miles are made from a single grape variety, because there are also many blended wines. Commonly known as, Buddha, jump, wall.
Miles describes the basic wine tasting method:
The first step is to raise the glass to the light and look at the wine carefully, you are looking for color and purity. Is it thick or thin? Is it watery or pulpy? Then, lean a bit and check the density of the color near where it is thinned by the edge, this will tell you how old the wine is
The second step is to smell it with the whole nose. Miles said it smells a little orange, strawberry, passion fruit, asparagus, nut Cheese. Put down the cup, let it get some air, the oxygen will open it up and release the aroma and taste, very important, smell again
The third step is to drink, take a sip, and analyze the tannins, sweetness, acidity, roundness, and maturity through tasting.
Miles did not directly rate the wine, but said that this wine is also very good for beginners, and the wine is very new.
In the evening, they went to the restaurant where Maya worked and drank the new Bien Nacido recommended by bartender. They produced their own winery. Bien Nacido's winery is located on the central coast of California, in the Santa Maria Valley (Santa Maria Valley) production area. wine pioneer. Morning fog and sea breezes from the Pacific Ocean give the vineyards a cooler climate, allowing the grapes grown here to have a longer growing season, facilitating the accumulation of flavors and sugars. The total area of the vineyard is about 800 acres, mainly planted with classic varieties of Burgundy and the Rhone Valley (Chardonnay), Pinot Noir (Pinot Noir) and Grenache (Grenache). Miles Comments: Very firm (tighter than nun's ass), good concentration, good ingredients.
Maya ordered a glass of Highliner. Later, when Miles went to find Maya, he also ordered a bottle. I wonder if it was to wait for her? As a result, Maya didn't come, he drank a bottle and went home in a daze.
On Monday morning, after Jack expressed his desire to vent/get laid, they encountered a Syrah Vineyard on the way. After tasting, Miles commented: big one (very strong taste)
The waiter replied: This wine should be placed in an open wine barrel for two weeks together with the grape skins
Miles: No wonder there are still sour tannins, right?
Waiter: yes, that's a young one. That is to say, as the wine ages, the tannins will dissipate
The two of them had a serious drink, and when the waiter left, they filled it up immediately. . . (The skin is your skin)
This involves red wine brewing, that is, the grape skins, pulp and pits must be fermented together. The continuous fermentation time varies from a few days to three weeks, which gives the wine its flavour, aroma and deep red colour. The skins of the grapes are separated and they are monitored as they continue to ferment in the barrels. The wine continues to mature in oak barrels and tanks until bottling.
------------- etc. dividing line -------------------
Our Sandra Oh, Stephanie is on the scene (She starred in Killing Eve is awesome, the exotic little pervert loves it
The first cup, this is the Chardonnay in our garden, Stephanie poured the wine for the two of them, and after a sip of miles, the evaluation was not good enough, so I poured it out
The second cup is cabernet franc Cabernet Franc red grapes. It is only the fifth year of producing single-drinking wine. There are very few gardens around to make pure cab franc, and it has passed silver paso robles. Last year, Miles never felt that cab franc was good. Yes, kind, hollow, flabby, overripe feeling
The last cup, Sheila, Sheila in the garden, obviously good
After going to Sheila Garden, they went to the wild, Miles would think of the happy time he and his ex-wife Victoria spent here together, they opened a bottle of 95-year-old Opus one, with smoked salmon, although the dishes with wine were messy Come, but have fun drinking it
Opus one, founded in 1979, sold for $24,000 a single case—the highest price for a California-produced wine (the price on JD is now starting at $3,600 a bottle). Some tasters commented on Opus one as follows: Opus One is characterized by an elegant style. The aroma contains smoke, grass, black pepper, blueberry, vanilla, pencil lead, saddle leather and sandalwood, etc. The entrance is elegant, soft, complex and concentrated, with fine tannins, well-balanced structure and no acidity on the palate. High and full of dark berries, slight mint spiciness and a chocolate finish. The 1996 wine (86% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Cabernet Franc, 3% Merlot and 3% Malbec) is impressive, with a deep purple color, elegant cigars, spices, tobacco and smoke On the nose, with ripe blackberry aromas, rich, rich, supple and ripe tannins, with a humidor and spice-like smooth cohesive finish.
An interesting scene is that before the Double dating, Miles played a temper and said that if anyone wanted merlot, he would turn around and leave, which shows his disgust for Merlot. . .
Double dating first drank sauvignon blanc white grapes with a little clove
During their meal, they ordered a total of 3 whole bottles of red wine. The four of them were still very sober and had a good amount of alcohol.
Whitcraft winery 2001 pinot noir, Whitcraft is a local factory in Santa Barbara, mainly specializing in Pinot Noir (they ordered), Chardonnay and Sheila wine
The remaining two Sca Smoke 2001 and KRISTLER did not find much information.
After drinking, Stephenie suggested everyone to go to her house
What surprised her was that she actually had the famous Richebourg. La Romanee Conti, which produced this wine, is the top winery in France, and is even widely regarded as the top/expensive red wine garden in the world. The history of the winery is also quite interesting. As one of the oldest wine estates in France, it has changed hands several times, and was finally defeated by Prince Conti, the cousin of King Louis XV of France, in a fierce competition with the king's mistress Pompadour. got it. It is rare to see Romanee Conti in the market now, and even if there are, it is as little as a few thousand euros and as much as tens of thousands of euros. There are only a few bottles in mainland China, and they are basically the treasures of collectors' homes or cellars.
Later, they chose Andrew Murray, a local wine. Their comments on this wine were different. Miles thought it was good. Maya's feedback was overdid it, too much alcohol, which covered the taste of the grapes.
Talking about the star in the Miles cabinet, the 1961 Cheval Blanc, which is produced by Baimazhuang, one of the eight famous chateaux in Bordeaux, is now priced at around 44,400 in 1961, which is just right for drinking
OMG, this bottle of wine was drank by Miles from a paper cup at Burger King, an average of 10,000 yuan per sip, (lll￢ω￢)
spendthrift
Let's end with the conversation between Miles and Maya (the name sounds nice).
Why do you like pinot so much?
Miles: It's a very difficult grape to grow, with thin skins, moody, not as well-fed as cabernet, and can flourish on its own without even needing attention.
Pinot needs regular care, and can only survive in those very special places in very few corners of the world, and only the most careful people can take care of it, and only people who truly understand the potential of Pinot can guide it to its heyday. Its scent is the most enduring, the most brilliant, the most delicate, the oldest, on the planet.
He should have implied that he was like Pinot, Jack was like Cabernet, and he was a slut.
Maya, said that the reason why she is so into wine is because she found herself with a sharp palette, basically the more I drink, the more sober (unreasonable) the more I drink, the more I like what it make me think about.
I like to think about the life of wine, how it is a living thing
I like to think about what happens in a year when the grapes are ripe, how the sun shines, whether it rains
I like to think about how many of the people who looked after and picked the grapes, if it was an aged wine, are now gone.
I love that wine is constantly evolving, like if I open a bottle today, it will taste different than if I open it on other days.
Because a bottle of wine is actually alive, and it keeps evolving, constantly acquiring new elements.
That way, until it peaks and then begins its slow and inevitable decline, it really tastes good.
Alright, I have given you what I have learned all my life, and I look forward to the results of my practice again.
Last but not least, I found that Paul Giamatti is really suitable for playing Miles. I thought of a lot of people who could replace other actors, but I couldn't find someone who could replace him, so that when I watched "Hundreds of Millions" for a while, I will think of his useless image.
