Chapter 508 Goodbye Sunshine Circus (Please Subscribe!!!)

Sunshine Circus? !

Tiffany? !

why.
Levin never expected that he would hear news about the Sunshine Circus at the home of the Marquess of Bracken.

After arriving in London, Levin inquired about the whereabouts of the circus many times. He only knew that they had been on tour outside, and unexpectedly came back two days ago!
He was also invited to his home by the Marquess of Bracken.
Not seeing Tiffany and Gina for more than a year, Levine still misses it very much, but today, the occasion is wrong.

Under the guidance of Helena, Levin walked to the window and saw a group of people setting up tents in the rain in the open space behind the villa. A familiar feeling.

"tiffany"

"Do you know them?" Helena asked.

"Well, I've seen them perform before, it's very exciting." Levine said sincerely: "They are the best circus I have ever seen."

"Really? What was their best performance?"

If Junia were here, she would definitely answer 'clown unicycle' loudly, but in Levine's heart, every performance is the most exciting.

dong dong!

A maid opened the door and walked into the room, and said in a steady tone: "Mr. Felix, Miss Helena, the wine tasting will start soon. Master Bracken invites you to the wine cellar."

"it is good."

Following the maid, Levin and Helena came to the wine cellar on the basement floor of the villa. Storing red wine requires a constant temperature and humidity environment. People who have the conditions will store red wine in a fixed location. The Marquis of Bracken is one of them. An excellent wine collector.

In the dimly lit wine cellar, with a gas lamp floating above his head, the Marquis of Bracken was talking with a dozen or so gorgeously dressed men with their female companions at the round table in the center of the wine cellar. When he saw Levin, he immediately got up and said These people introduced:
"This is the Mr. Felix von Manstein I mentioned to you earlier! He is an excellent sommelier. In order to make it more difficult for him, I have prepared a bottle of mysterious wine tonight. wine."

People who love to drink have their own opinions on wine, just like foodies, they are not gourmets, but they are better than gourmets.

Levin often drank. The small silver flagon he carried was filled with brandy, whiskey and other spirits, and he would take a sip from time to time. His understanding of wine was much better than ordinary people.

After taking his seat, the Marquis of Bracken slapped his palms, and the maids came out with glass containers for sobering up to taste the wine. Of course, you can't know the type, name, and place of origin of the wine in advance, otherwise the meaning of wine tasting will be lost.

Only by tasting can you judge the origin and year of the wine. This is an excellent sommelier.

There is a goblet in front of everyone, and the maids pour the sober red wine into the glass in order, not too much, or they will get drunk after a few glasses.

The mellow red wine slowly poured into the bottom of the glass. The guests raised their glasses and looked at the gas lamp above their heads to observe the color of the wine and whether there were any impurities. Then it is sent to the tip of the nose to sniff, smell the maturity of the wine, the acidity and the type of oak barrel.

"Well, good wine."

A man with a long face and hooked nose gave the first judgment: "The wine is dark red without any impurities, and there is obvious phenomenon of hanging cups. It smells slightly sour, indicating that the green grapes are three days away from ripening. There is a smoky smell unique to oak barrels. It should be from Popon. Oh, the red wine of Bonaparte's First Empire."

The Marquis of Bracken nodded with a smile, and a man sitting opposite said again: "It doesn't taste sweet at all, it should be dry red, and it's a pure natural wine fermented entirely from grapes. The filter is very clean, so there are no impurities."

"I think it should be a dry red from the Bordeaux region, what year?" Someone said with a slap on the mouth, "I have to try it again."

"This is Pinot Noir wine from Bordeaux in 1841." Levine said suddenly.

"Oh?"

The Marquis of Bracken's eyes lit up: "Mr. Felix, how did you know?"

"In 1841, the Bordeaux area suffered from lack of rain, which resulted in poor harvests of Pinot Noir grapes and average quality, so the winemakers used oak barrels with lighter toasting to give the red wine a more original oak flavor."

Levin took another sip of red wine and added:
"This situation caused the Pinot Noir wine produced in the Bordeaux area in 1841 to be more flavorful than other years. It is often mistaken for dry red wine when drunk, but it is not. It contains too little sugar. If you taste it carefully, you will find that this glass of wine still has a hint of sweetness, and the taste of the wine is not so strong. It is not like a fully mature dry red, and the taste is soft.”

"well said!"

The Marquess of Bracken was overjoyed, and quickly asked the maids to bring the bottle. According to the label on it, it was indeed a Pinot Noir wine produced in Bordeaux in 1841. Levin's judgment was correct.

The guests looked at Levin in surprise. The wine tasters who could tell the vintage and the winery were basically well-known, especially tonight the Marquis of Bracken gave them a difficult problem, using an extremely easy and other red wine Confused Pinot Noir red wine, who can see through at a glance, is definitely a master in the wine tasting world.

At the same time, it also proves that Levin has a lot of experience, and he can't tell the difference between dry red wine and ordinary red wine without drinking a lot of wine.

"I'm just lucky." Levin said, "I've had a pinot noir from Bordeaux in 1841, so I'm familiar with it."

"Mr. Felix, you are too modest! This bottle of wine is for you!" The Marquis of Bracken said generously, "Anyone who can guess the year and place of origin of the red wine can take away a bottle of red wine from my collection!"

Hearing this, the guests suddenly became interested. Who doesn't know that the Marquess of Bracken likes to collect red wine?

Look at the surrounding shelves, all of them are aged wines that are hard to find in the market!

Money is also hard to buy.

Levin did not forget his mission. During the next wine tasting process, he used hints and reminders to help many guests get the reward from the Marquess of Bracken. For a while, the atmosphere on the table was extremely warm, and everyone was very happy , Invisibly, the relationship is also much closer.

Helena didn't speak the whole time, watching Levin's performance quietly. Gradually, she found that the man sitting next to him was very mysterious, like a statue covered with a veil, which made people feel like they couldn't help but want to take off the veil. impulse.

At 8 o'clock in the evening, the wine tasting session was over. The guests who drank a lot of wine were already slightly tipsy. If they drank any more, they would probably be unable to get up on the table. The Marquess of Bracken accepted it as soon as he saw it, and invited everyone to go to the restaurant for dinner , after dinner
The rain stopped, and the tents needed for the circus performance were also set up.

Taking this opportunity, Levine exchanged business cards with the guests to prepare for joining the Nightingale Club in the future.

Behind the villa, the Sunshine Circus.

"Manager! The guests are all here, when shall we start the performance?" Omley, who was in charge of backstage preparations, approached Tiffany, who was inspecting the facilities, and asked aloud.

"Don't worry, the Marquis of Bracken said that there is another distinguished guest coming, let us wait for a while."

Tiffany held the schedule and kept looking at the time.

In the tent, the guests were all seated, waiting for the performance to start, but the Marquis of Bracken asked them to wait a little longer, and they had to comply with Party A's request.

After another ten minutes, a carriage with the royal coat of arms and olive wreaths parked outside the tent, and the eldest prince Charles arrived.

"Mr Felix!"

The eldest prince Charles greeted the guests warmly, then sat next to Levin, and chatted with him. At the same time, Tiffany, who saw the scene through the curtain behind the stage, also received a reception from the Marquess of Bracken. The command to start the show.

Before the performance began, an opening speech was required. Tiffany handed the program list to Omley, tidied up her clothes, lifted the curtain, and walked onto the stage.
She saw a small silver jug ​​in the hands of a guest.
