After Yang Jing took over the Dragon Fund, Michael Burko prepared several top-quality red wines of different vintages for Yang Jing, ranging from 1982 to 1988, 1990, 1998, 2005 and 2009. He prepared a lot of them for Yang Jing. They were airlifted to Yanjing two days ago, and then transferred to Tianqu. Yang Jing stored them in the wine cellar under the villa.
"Okay, then Mom and Gege will accompany you and your father to have a couple of drinks." Mother Yang said with a smile.
In the spacious and clean restaurant on the first floor, a family of four sat at the dining table. On the table were four dishes and a soup. Although not rich, it was very exquisite. The sweet and sour pork ribs in the middle was Yang Jing's favorite dish since childhood.
"Son, you must be careful when you go to Luoyang the day after tomorrow, and don't try to be stubborn. And Gege, you have to keep an eye on him." While Yang Jing was pouring wine, Mother Yang began to instruct her son and future daughter-in-law.
"Don't worry, Mom. I still have some common sense. Besides, it's not like I haven't been there before. It's not dangerous. Don't worry."
Father Yang also said, "Don't worry about it. Your son is already a grown-up. Doesn't he understand this?"
Mother Yang rolled her eyes at Father Yang and said unhappily, "You old man, you only know how to make sarcastic remarks. What's wrong with me telling my son to be careful? What are you yelling about?"
Father Yang didn't say anything. Yang Jing put down the bottle, picked up the glass and said with a smile, "Dad, Mom, Gege, let's have a drink together as a family of four."
After taking a sip of the wine, Yang Ma said in surprise: "Xiao Jing, this wine is good. The wine produced by your Ge Winery is really good. It tastes much better than the Great Wall dry red wine in our country..."
Hearing this, Yang Jing couldn't help but roll his eyes and explained helplessly: "Mom, if you compare the Great Wall Red Wine with this wine, it's like comparing dirt and gold. How much is the Great Wall Red Wine? The sip of wine you just drank can buy several boxes of the Great Wall Red Wine! This 1990 Chateau Margaux top-grade red wine costs tens of thousands of dollars a bottle!"
"Oh, it's so expensive? I used to hear people talking about 1982 Lafite in Hong Kong movies. Which one is better, that one or this one?" Yang Ma asked in surprise.
"Mom, the 1982 Lafite you mentioned is similar to the wine you are drinking now. They are both top-quality red wines from the five famous wineries. 1982 is one of the top red wine years for Lafite, but 1990 is one of the top red wine years for Margaux."
"Let me give you some general knowledge. Our Chateau Margaux is one of the five famous wineries. It is located in the Bordeaux region of France, which has a temperate maritime climate. The temperature is relatively mild and humid throughout the year, but the weather varies greatly in different years. Therefore, if you want to make high-quality wine, you must catch up with a good year."
"And 1990 is one of the greatest vintages in Bordeaux since the 20th century, because it was the second hottest year in the 20th century and the second year with the most sunshine. The good weather that year allowed the grapes to mature well. In addition, 1990 was also the second wettest year in the 20th century. Although the climate was relatively hot and dry in July and August, the moist air brought by the gentle sea breeze prevented the grapes from being too dry throughout the growing season, especially after September. Moreover, on September 15, the entire Bordeaux region welcomed a rainfall, which came at a very timely moment, which was very similar to another great vintage - 2009. The timely rainfall provided sufficient water for the ripening of the grapes, allowing the grapes to accumulate enough sugar and increase their potential alcohol content."
"The 1990 Margaux is very worthy of aging. The classic blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot produces a charming and outstanding wine. The world's most famous wine critic, Robert Parker, even gave this wine a high score of 100. After Robert Parker, Wine Spectator and International Wine Cellar also gave this wine a high score of 98 points, and they also used text to record the tasting performance of this wine at different times. Therefore, this year's Margaux red wine is the most worthy of cellaring and the best to drink."
Mother Yang curled her lips and said, "There are so many tricks! But I don't understand what you said. I just think this wine tastes really good. You prepared so much old wine for your father, so you should also prepare more of this red wine for mom!"
Hearing his mother say this, Yang Jing said happily: "Okay, I'm not afraid of you making high demands, I'm just afraid of you not making any demands. This winery is ours, so if you want to drink the wine produced by the winery, isn't that easy? Our winery can produce millions of bottles of red wine a year, and I'll leave the best ones for you. Don't even mention drinking them, they're enough for bathing!"
Mother Yang laughed and said, "Well, I'm not that extravagant!"
PS: I would like to thank "很懒的鱼" for the reward of 100.
