I was so ashamed! I traveled abroad last week, and I felt good about the "xo" wine I drank, and I bought 2 bottles to take home for my dad to drink, who knew that my dad only smelled it at the dinner table but didn't drink it, until I saw the wine he drank, I didn't understand why!
Last week, I was traveling abroad, and at a local bar, I happened to taste a wine called "XO", which had a unique taste and aroma, which impressed me, and I thought, such a good wine, I must take it home and give it to my father.
I bought two bottles of "XO" and brought them home full of joy, and I couldn't wait to see my dad's reaction when he tasted it, and imagined that he would be as raving as I was.
After returning home, I specially prepared a table of sumptuous dishes, just waiting for the two bottles of "XO" to appear, halfway through the meal, I mysteriously took out the two bottles of wine, and said proudly: "Dad, I specially brought you a gift abroad, this is the most distinctive local wine, you can try it!"
Dad took the wine bottle, looked at it carefully, then gently opened the cap, smelled it, his face suddenly became a little strange, he frowned, then put the wine bottle aside, and said lightly: "Son, Dad is not used to the taste of this wine, you can keep it for yourself." ”
At this moment, Dad took out a bottle of liquor from the wine cabinet and said slowly: "Don't you know, Dad usually likes to drink this kind of soy sauce wine, although it is not as fancy as the foreign wine you brought back, but it has a special taste, and it makes people feel very comfortable to drink!"
Saying that, the old man poured himself a glass, took a sip, his face was full of intoxication, he said: "The wine I drank is called Guokang 1935, this wine is really good! As soon as the cap is opened, the aroma of the wine comes to the nose, it is simply intoxicating, take a sip, it feels like silk is slippery, delicate and soft, you look at the hops in the cup, dense, like a small pearl, crystal clear, when drinking, the mouth is the fragrance of grain and the sweetness of flowers and fruits, it feels like drinking Moutai. ”
I think what my dad said is a bit mysterious, so I quickly tasted it, I really didn't expect that this Guokang 1935 really tasted a little similar to Moutai, they are all very authentic soy sauce wines, after all, they are all good wines from Moutai Town.
Daddy said, "It's made with sorghum, wheat and water, and there are no additives, and you can see that its product standard says "excellent". We all know that the special grade in the liquor is the best, but the excellent grade is not bad, which shows that the quality of this liquor is indeed not ordinary!"
Listening to my father's words, I suddenly realized that it was not that my father did not know how to appreciate fine wine, but that he had his own unique taste and pursuit.
I said to my dad sincerely, "Dad, I was wrong, I shouldn't have used my own standards to measure your preferences, and I shouldn't have imposed my own tastes on you. ”
Dad listened, smiled and patted me on the shoulder, he said: "Silly boy, Dad doesn't want you to fully accept Dad's taste, everyone has their own preferences, there is nothing wrong with this, just like this wine, there is no good or bad, only whether it suits your own taste or not." ”
