Just when Yin Ya sighed inwardly and was about to look at those red wines and choose according to her first impression, Yuan Zhou spoke again.
Because Yin Ya's expression was too obvious, Yuan Zhou naturally understood it. He understood the disappointment on Yin Ya's face when he didn't recommend it.
When Yuan Zhou spoke, Yin Ya was staring at a bottle of dry red wine.
"Are you used to drinking dry red wine?" Yuan Zhou asked seriously.
Yin Ya answered out of habit, "Not really. I drink some sometimes."
"Then are you used to the bitter taste of dry red wine?" Yuan Zhou continued to ask.
"I don't like it a little, but it's okay," Yin Ya frowned.
"The red wine here is divided into dry, semi-sweet, and sweet. It basically covers all the flavors of wine. It all depends on your taste, and dry red wine belongs to the dry category," Yuan Zhou said.
"Oh, but I don't think I can taste much of a difference," Yin Ya raised her head in annoyance and uneasiness.
"Actually, our sensitivity to alcohol is basically inherited. That's why many wine tasters are born with a high sensitivity to alcohol. This research was done by the Food Science Department of Pennsylvania State University and the PROP Sensitivity Experiment of Brook University. This research has already been published. Therefore, it's normal to not be able to taste alcohol naturally," said Yuan Zhou. It was rare for him to say so much in one go.
"Besides, the sensitivity of PROP is determined by the TAS2R38 gene. Only about 25% of people have tasted the bitterness of PROP and only 10% of men have tasted it. Therefore, it's quite normal," Yuan Zhou said solemnly and earnestly.
Nevertheless, Yin Ya just looked at the unceasing Yuan Zhou and didn't say anything.
Yuan Zhou tilted his head and looked at Yin Ya. Seeing that the annoyance and anxiety on her face weren't so obvious, he swallowed the second half of the experiment.
Yes, there was a second half of the experiment. The PROP sensitivity could only detect bitterness, so it wasn't completely accurate. There were many wine experts who weren't sensitive to PROP, but they were still very sensitive to the taste of wine.
Of course, from the looks of it, Yin Ya probably didn't need to know about the second half of the experiment.
"Shouldn't girls admire him?" Yuan Zhou muttered in his heart. He stole a glance at Yin Ya and found no admiration on her face.
"Well, what kind of red wine do you think I should drink?" Yin Ya looked at Yuan Zhou curiously and asked.
Being stared at by Yin Ya's burning gaze, Yuan Zhou tilted his head to one side uncomfortably and then continued, "The white wine has a strong fruity fragrance."
As he spoke, Yuan Zhou gestured for Yin Ya to look at the white wine area.
Those white grapes were said to be white, but when they were placed in the bottle, they gave off a transparent and lively feeling of gold and white, very beautiful.
"They all seem pretty good." Yin Ya nodded her head.
"If you like white wine, then you can choose this one. The wine brewed with this type of wine has a refreshing smell, a rich wine aroma, and a long aftertaste. It contains a variety of vitamins and is rich in nutrients. Moreover, its taste is delicate and round. It has the effect of relaxing muscles, promoting blood circulation, nourishing skin, and moisturizing lungs." Yuan Zhou thought seriously and pointed at a bottle of dark white wine.
"Yes, yes, it feels very good." Yin Ya nodded repeatedly, but it was obvious from her expression that she wanted to hear more about red wine.
"Actually, the bitter taste in dry red wine that you don't like is due to tannin. Tannin is the real anti-oxidation and anti-aging element." Yuan Zhou glanced at Yin Ya's delicate and white cheeks and then said.
"I see." Yin Ya looked like she was enlightened, even though she already knew about it.
Yes, although Yin Ya didn't know much about red wine, she knew some basic knowledge. This knowledge came from work and last night's cramming.
It was really cramming. She didn't sleep until four in the morning. She didn't even study so hard for her senior year exams.
After all, she was going to drink at Yuan Zhou's place today. If she knew nothing about red wine, Yin Ya was worried that she would leave a bad impression on Yuan Zhou. But now, it seemed that not knowing anything was a good thing.
Because this was the first time that Yin Ya had such a meaningful conversation with Yuan Zhou. She saw that when Yuan Zhou explained, he explained confidently without any impatience, which was very attractive.
"Yuan Zhou is really amazing. He is so familiar with wine brewing knowledge that is only related to culinary skills." Yin Ya felt a little admiration in her heart.
Although what Yuan Zhou explained just now could be found in books or on the Internet, when it came from Yuan Zhou's mouth, it felt like it was his.
This was a genuine learning and not just an ordinary understanding.
"Maybe I can try translating 'White Coney's Laws.'" Yin Ya couldn't help but ponder.
White Coney was a famous judge in the United States. He wrote a book to help ordinary people understand the law. It could be said to be a classic among popular science books.
As the CEO's secretary, Yin Ya's English was not bad. Therefore, she had been taking some small translation jobs.
The business partner felt that Yin Ya was very capable, so they invited her to translate 'White Coney's Laws.' But Yin Ya hadn't agreed yet.
First, she felt that she couldn't do it. After all, it was such a professional popular science book. Second, she felt that she didn't have time.
Now that she thought about it, no matter how busy she was, she couldn't be as busy as Yuan Zhou. As for professional knowledge, she could learn any professional knowledge. Just like Yuan Zhou, she could learn from nothing.
People didn't need a reason to become better, but they needed an opportunity. It could be said that Yuan Zhou's behavior today was Yin Ya's opportunity.
"Semi-dry white wine or rosé wine tastes sweeter. If you like them, these few taste good." Yuan Zhou pointed out a few wines with beautiful packaging colors again.
Yin Ya came back to her senses and pointed at the rosé wine. "Indeed, the colors are very beautiful, especially this color."
"Well, this wine tastes more refreshing," Yuan Zhou said casually.
After a brief introduction, Yin Ya walked back and forth around the wine shelf as if she was having a hard time making a decision.
Most girls had difficulty choosing, and Yin Ya was no exception. Some people said that people with difficulty choosing were poor and could choose anything if they had money.
But in this situation, it was very difficult.
Yuan Zhou wasn't in a hurry. He just quietly watched Yin Ya choose.
Patience was something that Yuan Zhou never lacked.
While Yin Ya was quietly choosing, she looked back at Yuan Zhou from time to time. When she looked at Yuan Zhou for the fifth time, Yuan Zhou finally understood that she wanted him to help her make a decision.
"Actually, the grapes I use to make red wine here are all Pinot Noir. Pinot Noir was grown by the Gauls in Burgundy before the Roman era. Later, it was gradually grown in Alsace, Germany, and even in the coldest places in Spain and Oregon," Yuan Zhou continued.
"So it's the same grape variety? It's amazing to be able to brew so much wine with just one variety. "Yin Ya praised sincerely.
"This variety of grapes is more troublesome to grow, but it tastes very good. The tannins in it are fine, like silk, and especially easy to melt. So you don't have to worry. Even if the wine is old, it won't be very bitter," Yuan Zhou said seriously.
Yuan Zhou said it casually, but if this wine cellar was seen by foreigners who knew about wine, they would definitely be dumbfounded.
The title of Master Winemaker would be hung on Yuan Zhou's head. Of course, that was for the future. Now, there was only one customer in the wine cellar.
"In that case, just get me a bottle. I think the wine you choose will definitely be delicious." Yin Ya looked at Yuan Zhou with trust, but when she saw Yuan Zhou looking at her, she realized that her words just now were too coquettish. She quickly added, "Because the red wine is all yours, and you know a lot, it will definitely be fine."
Yin Ya uneasily curled the stray hair beside her ear. When talking to the right person, every word and action could make their heart beat faster.
Yuan Zhou did not disappoint and directly chose the red wine. He stood there for about a second and went straight to a bottle of red wine.
"Today's weather is good. There's sunshine, and this wine is rich in fruit, full of the flavors of cranberry, pomegranate, and dark cherry. Also, when you drink it now, there will be some faint animal and truffle fragrance, as well as the fragrance of licorice and other spices. You should be able to accept it."
"Well, then I'll choose this bottle." Yin Ya nodded without hesitation.
