Black Pi Nuo and Life with a Glass of Wine (Black Pi Nuo&; Sideways)

Black Pi Nuo, translated from Chinese into black Pi Nuo, is probably due to the thin black skin of grape varieties and the initials of English names (P & amp； N) translation. It is a good translation that can highlight the characteristics of grape varieties.

Black Pi Nuo is one of the main red grape varieties, which is recognized as the most critical and the most difficult to serve, because it requires high growth environment. Its variety characteristics are not strong, and it is easy to change with environmental changes.

Andre Tchelistcheff, a famous American winemaker, once said, "Cabernet Sauvignon was created by God, while Black Pi Nuo was created by Satan".

The most classic and famous black Pi Nuo producing area in the world is Burgundy, where Burgundy Red is praised by the world. It is also the highest average price wine in the world.

Of course, I haven't found the Black Pi Nuo in Burgundy for the time being, so I bought the Black Pi Nuo in Carneros, Napa Valley, California. Due to California's warm climate, high-quality Black Pi Nuo is among the top five grape varieties. There are Sonoma and Santa Barbara in the north.

This time, we tasted the 20 12 Carneros Black Pi Nuo from Frank Family Winery. It is said that the wine in this winery is deeply loved by Chinese all over the world.

This wine is dark red with a hint of brown. Compared with the regional table wine in Bordeaux, France, there is little difference in color.

This is a highly respected and award-winning wine (won the bronze prize in the 20 14 San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition and the silver prize in the International Women's Wine Competition, etc.). ), and Frank Family Winery has been rated as the best winery in Napa Valley of San Francisco for four consecutive years. Located in downtown Napa, Carneros, the winery has gentle rolling hills and shallow dense clay. The annual rainfall is 20 inches. Pacific wind brings cool temperature, fog and wind, and breeds world-class high-quality black Pi Nuo. It can be seen that it is really a wine with the right place and the right time (don't forget that the owner of the winery is former Disney executive RICH FRANK).

However, what impressed me most about this wine is not the rich and full jam (red fruit) and delicate tannin flavor unique to black Pi Nuo, but also the aroma of mixed herbs and dried flowers (some say cinnamon, others say raisins), but its ending! This is the first time I have directly felt the impact of wine on my heart. That's not because of the spicy taste (which is definitely different from Riesling that stops at the throat), and it's not just because of ALC 14%. In the words of a man, good wine should be like this! This is a five-year aging. The characteristic of black Pi Nuo is that the wine is worth tasting at any time, and the aged wine should have more flavor.

However, this sense of wine is not what I like after all. In any case, it is sought after by the world (some people say that French black Pi Nuo is more like elegant Audrey Hepburn, and California black Pi Nuo is sexy, plump and full of Marilyn Monroe. I like Hepburn after all.

At that time, black Pi Nuo suddenly became a popular wine in the United States and even the whole world because of "Living sideways and a glass of wine". After the film was released, Black Pi Nuo suddenly became a must-have wine in American restaurants, and its sales increased by 65,438+06%. Even so, the "Little Red Bicycle" fake wine case that shocked the world appeared, that is, Silas and Melo sold it to consumers obsessed with black Pi Nuo under the guise of black Pi Nuo. Of course, this has become a joke in the wine industry, but who doesn't have herd mentality? How many people can be completely loyal to their hobbies and tastes?

In 2004, Sideways was undoubtedly the leader of the film festival. Although it is a low-cost niche film, there are no big-name stars, and even the male and female protagonists are very ordinary. However, he won the best film in 2004, including many Oscars that year. The world gives many "profound" comments, such as reflecting the reality of the middle-aged crisis, such as the week in the film reflecting people's lives and so on. Different people can give different interpretations of movies, just as different people give different comments on a glass of wine, there is no right or wrong, and there is no objective standard. My favorite part is the beautiful winery scenery in Solvang, where the film was filmed, the process of grape picking and brewing, and Mayan characters. Although it takes only a few minutes to show the scenery of the whole vineyard, you can feel the mellow wine and the source behind it.

I love the heroines Maya and Miles more. When discussing why they like Black Pi Nuo, Maya's eyes sparkled with quiet background music after answering Myers.

I like to think about life and the life of wine. The life of wine is a process of gestation. Think about what the year of grape growth was like, whether there was enough sunshine and splendor at that time, and what would happen if there was enough rain that year. And those who pick grapes, if it is a very old bottle of wine, many people who brew it should have died long ago ... every bottle of wine will have a different taste when opened at different times. Wine is alive, it will evolve and become complex until it reaches the best state of life ... then it will tend to be stable and eventually it will inevitably age.

The life of wine, like any food on the table, is natural, the product of agricultural production and industrial production, and it is not that high. Any carefully brewed wine, with or without the aura of a famous winery, is just like a mouthful of tea and a bowl of rice we have eaten, which contains local strength and is of extraordinary value.

Many people also like to quote this passage to interpret life. This is probably the reason why this film was translated into A Life with a Glass of Wine and became so popular. Life is like wine, maybe you are a sensitive Pi Nuo that needs careful care, maybe you are a strong Cabernet, maybe you are a simple Sauvignon, maybe you are a changeable Chardonnay ... but you will eventually experience the gestation and brewing of life, as well as all kinds of fermentation and sublimation.

The wine of your own life is still brewed and tasted by yourself. Even a bunch of rotten grapes can make a glass of wine. Isn't it? !
