I have a paradise

In comparison, the captain's room is much larger, with an area of ​​10 square meters, and a separate bathroom inside, and the decoration is also much more luxurious.

After watching the captain’s room, Wang Yi came to the ammunition bay. Here, Wang Yi saw the shells used by the battleship’s main guns. They had a diameter of forty centimeters, a length of nearly 1.5 meters, and a weight of two hundred kilograms. Such a large shell can be imagined. Know how powerful it is.

After seeing a behemoth of war made by modern industry, Wang Yi left the battleship with a group of primary school students. These primary school students followed the teacher to the class. Wang Yi regarded that teacher as a free tour guide. After all, such a big ship. The information on the various parts of the battleship tells the truth.

After spending half a day in San Diego, in the afternoon, Wang Yi took a plane to San Francisco. He was going to the winery in Napa Valley.

When I came to the Napa Valley Winery again, the villas in the winery have been completely renewed, and the furniture has been replaced with new ones. Dinner was eaten at Johnson’s house. Johnson’s wife Connie cooked, and Connie is an ordinary The old lady of Dengta Country, her cooking skills are not bad, at least the steak is very suitable for him.

Johnson is the winemaker of this winery and has been working here for 40 years. It can be said that every plant and tree in this winery has his own power.Johnson's feelings for the winery are naturally very deep. Otherwise, the winery will have changed three or four owners. He still stays here. After all, as an experienced winemaker, as long as he wants to, Napa Valley is here. His winery will hand him an olive branch.

What he has been staying here is more about his feelings for this winery, and maybe there is another kind of red wine that he wants to brew in this manor, such as Romani Conti, Lafite, and so on.

After learning about Johnson’s experience, Wang Yi also felt that he was quite unlucky. It used to be because the winery was just established, the planting time of the Cabernet Sauvignon vines was short, and the quality of the grapes was limited. When the time was long, these Cabernet Sauvignon years were enough. He began to learn from other wine masters, and when he had enough skills, the winery was sold. Later, the winery could only make grape juice and pre-dinner wine.

This situation continued until Wang Yi took over, and Johnson had become a 60-year-old man. If Wang Yi is still the same as the previous owners of the winery, then Johnson may not be able to use his hands in his life. The Cabernet Sauvignon planted makes wine.

......

"Be careful not to injure the main stem of the vine, then cut here, be careful not to cut it crooked... remember to clean up these dead branches and fallen leaves." Standing under the vines in the vineyard, Johnson is instructing an employee Prune the vines.

It is March, and the grapes are still very early to ripen, and now they are just pruning the vines.

"Johnson, are you sure to brew red wine of the same quality as the 2002-90 Romanie Conti?" Wang Yi asked when he looked at the endless vineyards.

"Sorry, sir, I'm not sure." Johnson shook his head."Our Cabernet Sauvignon grapes here are not bad, but they are not as good as the grapes from Romani Conti."

"Moreover, there are many factors for the quality of winemaking, first of all the land, then the grape variety and the climate of that year."

"If this year's sunshine intensity, precipitation, frost-free period, etc. have reached the best conditions, then coupled with the superb winemaking technology, this will be able to produce the top wine."

"If the precipitation is too high, the sugar content of the grapes will be reduced, the degree will be reduced, and there will be more rotten grapes, but if it is too dry, it is not good. The age of the vines is also the key. Grapes are not suitable for winemaking, and grapes from vines less than 15 years old are not suitable for long-term preservation if they are made."

"Only fifteen years later, the vines will get better and better, because as the age grows, the root system of the grapes will become more and more developed, and they will penetrate deeper into the slopes to absorb more minerals and Various nutrients."

"Our Cabernet Sauvignon has been grown for thirty years and is in the best vintage for winemaking."

"Sir, it's not easy to make top wines."

Wang Yi listened to Johnson's explanation with great interest. When it comes to wine, Johnson is full of spirits. Although Wang Yi is a wine novice, Johnson's interest is still unabated.

After chatting with Johnson, Wang Yi also learned about many attempts to make wine. For example, the vines used to make red wine are not watered, which means that they rely on the sky to feed themselves. Just now, Wang Yi was still wondering how precipitation and drought affect the quality of grapes. Now I understand.

There is also the method of wine making. Wang Yi's vineyard is in the lighthouse country. Most of the winemaking techniques use modern techniques, while many wineries in the old world use classical techniques.

Of course, both modern and ancient techniques are roughly divided into the steps of removing stems, squeezing fruit pieces, squeezing juice and fermentation. The difference between the two is that the steps of classical winemaking techniques are somewhat special, compared to modern techniques and classical techniques. Most of them use labor.

Pick the grapes from the stalks and throw them into the wooden barrel. The second step is to crush the grapes in the wooden barrel. The next step is to ferment and add yeast to the broken grapes.At this time, the level of the winemaker is tested. When the fermentation is almost complete, use a juicer to squeeze the fermented wine, then filter to remove the skin and seeds and then ferment again.

The most important thing is fermentation, barreling and crushing. According to Johnson, the most orthodox French wine is to find some young girls when crushing. Note that they must be young girls, which means that they have never fought with men. Gunners, (not counting those repaired in the hospital) After washing the whole body, step on it in the barrel.

It is said that in medieval Europe, every nobleman raised some such girls to make wine for himself.

It is now the 21st century. In this open era, there are too few girls who have never fought with men. Whether in the lighthouse country or in Europe, girls aged 14 or 5 are really not easy to find.

Hearing Johnson said that in classical winemaking, girls use their feet to step on grapes. Wang Yi suddenly lost interest in the wines made with classical winemaking techniques. Wang Yi felt nauseous when he thought of those wines that others had stepped on with their feet. .

He doesn't have the habit of drinking other people's footwashing water, even these people are some beautiful girls.

Of course, wine made with this classical technique is still very popular. If the wine made with this method is sold for money, Wang Yi still doesn't mind.
