That bottle of Chardonnay, how beautiful

Wine has a history of thousands of years, and France is the most famous producer of high-quality wine. In 1976, California, USA, only experienced more than two hundred years of winemaking history. What an incredible wine it can present to the world, we all drew a big question mark in our hearts.
When a wine man from the United Kingdom went to California, USA, and went to every land and every manor, searching for wines that could represent the quality of American wine in his heart, he held an unprecedented blind tasting event in Paris. The bottle was from Monte Reina Winery, Chardonnay created by suffering, with its excellent taste and clear color, has become the representative of the new generation of best wines, from California, USA, from the Napa Valley. It was a career that a man who regarded brewing the best quality wine as his ideal gave up his profession and devoted himself to it. It was a career loved by several talented young people. It was the grapes that many hardworking farmers traveled through the wind and sand all day. The career that Yuan sticks to silently. A perfect bottle of Chardonnay is the best reward.

"Suffering creates enlightenment"-whether it is for grapes, wine, or people.
Grapes planted in poor soil and controlled irrigation, the more barren the topsoil is, the more it can force the grapes to take root deeply, and the more eagerly thirsting for all the nutrients from the depths of this land; such grapes do not have the laziness that grows from fertile soil. It deeply expresses the terroir of a place and presents a flavor that cannot be replaced by another place. It is a gift of the land.
For wine, such a bottle of Chardonnay fully explained this sentence. A perfectionist brewer strictly controls every aspect of winemaking: filtering over and over again, pursuing the clearest liquid and extremely round taste; waiting day by day, waiting for the best moment to present the best The flavor of "Bottle Shock" was tested again. Because the production process is too perfect, there will inevitably be a trace of air entering the bottle. The oxidized rich wine body shows a non-clear color, but still retains perfection. The smell of wine, but the color alone is disappointing. The brown Chardonnay seems to be the last haze, shrouded in the heart of the exhausted brewer, causing him to abandon his beloved career in pain and give up the 500 cases of wine , Put on the old shirt and return to the old battlefield. But wine, this nectar that gathers sunlight and absorbs popularity, seems to have spirituality, and finally, in the end, it presents a perfect appearance, such a rich and round taste, such a crystal clear color, such a beautiful thing; also Under the protection of the wine lovers, they insisted on boarding by hand, crossing the continents, going to the blind tasting party, and winning the top spot.
For people, it is the painstaking effort of a whole manor, it is the obsession of a wine taster who is loyal to the quality of the wine itself, it is the help of several destined people, it is the most ordinary and hard-working grape cultivation in the United States for hundreds of years result.

"The best fertilizer is the owner's footprint"
You have to walk into the fields to breathe and share fate with the grapes; you have to touch every branch and leaf and every grape, and care about their growth, just like caring about your own flesh and blood; you Go with them and share the honor and disgrace. It is the initial love that made you start this career, starting from the initial humble and small; it is the day-to-day hard work and perseverance that makes this career grow and grow; it is the joint efforts of countless people to make the small. Great, during the period of wind and rain, I will not understand it without personal experience.

It’s been a long time since I watched a movie, and it’s been a long time since I was moved by a movie. My heart went ups and downs with the experience of the protagonists during the movie, and I smiled in relief when I finally realized that greatness is a foregone conclusion. . Although it is a story about the defeat of France, which has a long history of winemaking, in my opinion, it has nothing to do with the country. It is just the voice of a new life, self-reliant from an already structured system, and experienced a hundred years of struggle, honor and disgrace. Knowing that getting unbiased recognition is just what you deserve. It is not who stands still, and no one has a permanent status. History has shown us that big waves wash away the sand, and it is gold that always shines. The times wash away over and over again, and constantly discover those new outstanding lives, and also spur the former overlord not to sink deeply. Fame, continue to work hard and grow. And what must be experienced behind the success, only those who have experienced a bit of bitter cold can slowly aftertaste in the tangy fragrance.

    Idk why, I collect some French wine that are of my birth vintage, but never a huge fan of French wine. My favorite is always Brunello, and my casual drink goes to California and South American wines. I still have a bottle of Ridge back in New York, gotta open it once I get back.

Bottle Shock quotes

  • Gustavo Brambila: You people, you think you can just buy your way into this. You cannot do it that way.

    Jim Barrett: Alright...

    Gustavo Brambila: You have to have it in your blood, you have to grow up with the soil underneath your nails, the smell of the grapes in the air that you breathe. The cultivation of the vine was an art form. The refinement of the vine is a religion that requires pain and desire and sacrifice.

  • Steven Spurrier: No offense, but I don't foresee the imminent cultivation of the Chicago vine.
