According to the usual practice, Mr. Alan Chua will open his microblogging platform one month before the Lunar New Year every year to talk to readers from food and drink to life. A netizen says he is AB blood type and asks what blood type Mr. Cailan is. Mr. Tsai Lan said, "Drinking a lot of brandy, I am X.O. type." A netizen approached him and spat, "Isn't it too bad to be called a 'woman without excellence' because you like to cook?" Mr. Righteous Indignation, "Whatever the fuck son of a bitch!" Mister's attitude to life can be a lot of fun.
The most important thing is to be happy! Cai Lan is a famous Hong Kong writer, gourmet, traveler, filmmaker ...... and a "player" in the eyes of many people. Almost 80 years old, last year on the "Thirteen Invitations" as a guest, still eat meat and drink, red, playful. Cai Lan once said that even if he were to live three more lives, he would not be able to play enough, and TVB also has a classic dialogue: "Being a man, the most important thing is to be happy.
In order to teach people to have fun in time and enjoy life, TVB produced a travel program "Choi Lan Sighs the World" back in the 1990s, which allowed the most playful Choi Lan to lead celebrities all over the world to experience life scenes that represent the highest enjoyment of life. In Switzerland's snowy mountain lakeside, he took Maggie Shaw Lee to eat beer-made cheese, roasted venison, and freshly-milked milk while drinking red wine....... Look at Maggie Shaw's contented expression, which is really "eyebrows are freshly dropped".
He also took her to Hokkaido to eat excellent Japanese food and enjoy the top open-air hot springs. At the time, she was still single, and while sighing at the hot springs, she expressed her views on choosing a spouse: "The most important thing is that the person is good and treats me well."
"Sigh world" is the Cantonese word for enjoying life without worries, and Hong Kong people are known for their knowledge of food and drink, and many celebrities in the Hong Kong community are experts in eating, drinking and having fun. Brigitte Lin, as the goddess of several generations, the screen is always a look of the world, "Brigitte drinking" has become a classic moment in Hong Kong films.
I didn't expect my sister on the reality show, because of a drunken crab exposure "foodie nature", a round of charge after the eyes, sighing: "a great enjoyment on earth." Food current, sister also happy exposure, when Xing Liyuan is with a few hairy crabs to chase her to. Lin Qingxia is a goddess who doesn't eat the food of the world, while Zhang Xiaohui is a rich flower on earth who once threatened that she "can't go without eating, but can't go without buying clothes". That said, Ms. Zhang has never compromised her stomach.
As early as 2003, she wrote an article in Sing Tao Daily about "tea restaurants". From Hong Kong's Golden Phoenix Milk Tea Honolulu Coffee Tsui Wah Fish Eggs to New York's fried double eggs hash brown smoked meat and mushrooms, she counted her blessings and said she couldn't get enough of them.
Can be picky and delicate Italian food, she said the same can eat a lifetime. From the fresh, semi-soft mozzarella on the starter, to the T-bone grilled steak on the main course, and the seasonal black cherries on the side. Zhang Xiaohui is never too quick to eat, unlike the usual actresses who are so formal.
Now she's a proponent of "eat the meal and buy the shirt".
Many of the stars who know what they are doing have turned their hobbies into careers.
"Coffee Prince" Chan Ho, since the start of their own coffee brand, the star has become a side business, coffee is the main business. He has to bring a commercial coffee pot with him when he goes into a group to shoot a movie, and he wakes up early before the start of work every day to make a good coffee for his coworkers. Li Jiaxin, who was his partner in "Killer," said, "I'm not afraid to work into the wee hours of the morning."
***The same hobbies can also become a tacit understanding between partners. Chen Hao and his wife Chen Yinwei bonded because of coffee, while ex Beverly Liu delved into red wine after she broke up with him.
Belle Liu later gradually obtained the international wine tasting qualification, but also in Bordeaux brewed a personal brand wine, named "Bellavizio", Chinese meaning beautiful mistake, this wine later won seven international awards. It's exciting to see a small hobby become internationally recognized.
With so much to eat, drink and enjoy, it is wine that is the most popular, and even irresistible, among gourmets.
They've got the wine, do you have the story?In the late 1980s, Ni Kuang, Huang Zhan and Cai Lan, three of Hong Kong's greatest talents, ran a talk show called "No Defense Tonight". Each episode opened with a drink to warm up the audience, and there was always an air of microbrews in the conversation.
Their topics were freewheeling and unstructured. At one point, when Wong asked the group to share a funny story, Ni Kuang talked about his first visit to Qiong Yao in Taiwan. At the time, he said, Qiong Yao was holding two poodles, walking gracefully down the stairs and asking with a smile, "Mr. Ni, what would you like to drink?"
Ni Kuang looked at Qiong Yao's exquisite style, embarrassed to say brandy directly, deliberately said, "I would like to drink a French-made, alcoholic liquid." Qiong Yao heard said "good" will pace back upstairs, did not expect to come down again but handed Ni Kuang a French perfume ...... Ni Kuang was stunned on the spot.
Ni Kuang, Huang Zhi, Cai Lan are all lovers of wine. Once someone commented that Huang Zhi is "good color, good wine, good money", Huang Zhi know reevaluate themselves: "good color without courage, good wine without quantity, good money incompetent."
Just like Li Bai, who wrote a thousand poems on wine, wine was also a source of inspiration for Huang Zhan. In his lyrics to "Flowing Light", there is a line that reads, "Between half-drunkenness and half-awakefulness, a thousand smiling eyes", which in a few words depicts the postures of the green snake and the white snake.
He also wrote the classic line "Remy Martin" in the 1990s, which was inspired by his drunkenness. The line swept the wine industry and made Remy Martin a household name.
Cai Lan said he inherited his good drinking skills from his mother, who at the age of 78 could finish a brandy in two days.
On one occasion when Ni Kuang was a guest at Cailan's Singaporean home for lunch, Cailan's mother tentatively asked Ni Kuang: "I heard you like drinking a lot?" Ni Kuang was afraid that the old man did not like the "drunkard", and pretended to be reserved: "I only drink a little bit, and I drink only in the dark, not in the daytime, drinking in the daytime is too degrading!"
The result was that when we reached the third course, Cai Lan's mother suddenly slapped the table: "Ni Kuang! I'll drink if you don't! At my age, I'm not afraid of degradation!" Ni Kuang said to Ni Kuang's face red, so Auntie wants to drink with him against the cup ah!
Ni Kuang has a famous quote about alcohol, the first half of which is "I won't drink until the sun goes down", and the second half is "There is always a place in the world where the sun doesn't go down".
Cai Lan also has his own theory about the theory that drinking during the daytime is degenerate: "A person who can drink early in the morning is a person who can control his own time, a person who is free and easy to do so, and he is very happy."
Well, to drink, how could a great writer not make up a reason?
There are plenty of stars in your circle who are experts at drinking. Liu Jialing, for example, is a famous "wine fairy" in the circle. Growing up in Suzhou, she was familiar with the aroma of heated yellow wine - the happy feeling of a family reunion around the dinner table.
After she grew up, Liu was still obsessed with wine. Not only was she a good drinker, but she also knew what kind of food went with what kind of wine, and what kind of atmosphere to drink what kind of wine, and she was very particular about it.
Leung also loves to drink, and he does so while immersed in a role. For example, when he was reading Haruki Murakami's book recently, he would run to Japanese bars and sushi restaurants and drink sake or beer alone, and Carina Lau teased, "It's like he's going to play Haruki Murakami himself."
If one is super-rich, one will often also throw away thousands of dollars to satisfy one's love of alcohol. "Entertainment tycoon" Lam Kin Ngok and "Hong Kong's four tycoons," one of the "Allen Lau," are Hong Kong's famous wine collection king. Lam once said that discovering aged wines is as much fun as discovering promising artists.
He said, witness a box of wine from the fresh slowly turned to the sedate and elegant, like witnessing the star from the beginning of the silent and unknown to the big red, the process is long and arduous, and cultivate a superstar like to build cult wine, the timing is perfect and the people and the lack of one, can not be found. Liu Luen-hsiung young love to open party, so crazy to buy beautiful wine, different years, brand fight to buy, claiming to spend more than 1 billion. In October last year, Liu in Sotheby's wine auction of their own 38 years *** 117 bottles of "private collection", the turnover amounted to 53.04 million, exceeding the original estimate of more than double.
It seems that the rich people of Hong Kong are very willing to spend money in order to "sigh beautiful wine".
In TVB dramas, you can always see the rich shaking their wine glasses and talking about the hundreds of millions of dollars they have spent. In workplace dramas, lawyers and doctors get together after work for happy hour at the bar and drink their way through their troubles. In the movies, the sophisticated middle-class people hold wine-tasting parties, and also have fun tasting the vintage of the wine on the tip of their tongues, which is called "blind-drinking".
Why has wine become a favorite among the rich and famous? Apart from the scarcity of some of the wines in the collection, there is, of course, the enjoyment of the tip of the tongue and the subtle pleasure that comes from being slightly tipsy.
Under the effect of alcohol, people will be relatively relaxed, no longer bound by traditional, secular values, talk about the world to express a little bit more fully, as if the original self awakened, no wonder Carina Liu said, "Knowing how to drink is to know two kinds of life."
Wine tasting is never a simple "one sip boring", but an elegant and interesting art worth studying. Do you know how much effort and time it takes to make a glass of quality Champagne cognac?
The House of Remy Martin hosted a Cognac extravaganza at the Guangzhou Grand Theatre that combined installation art, high technology, wine tasting, and party entertainment, and E and the girls were invited to enjoy this innovative and interactive experience.
Grapes are the heart and soul of Cognac, and only grapes of superior quality can give Cognac its unique flavor and fragrance, and the raw material for making high-quality Champagne Cognac must be grapes from the Cognac region of Charente, so as soon as we entered the exhibition hall, the "House of Remy Martin" showed us a scene with a wall of shadow and light, which made us feel like we were in the middle of the night. Therefore, upon entering the exhibition hall, the "Maison Remy Martin" showed a scene of a flourishing Portuguese vineyard by means of a light and shadow wall.
The secret to the fragrance of the grapes lies in the soil in which they are grown, and the "Cognac Rhythm" area shows us the unique chalky terroir in the heart of Cognac, France.
The next area was an immersive experience of the making process.
In the technological "Grape Dreamland", where crystalline alabaster grapes are knotted in the garden, we were reminded that we could "pick" one before embarking on the artisanal journey of Cognac making.
Then we entered the "Way of Distillation", where the freshly-picked grapes were put into the distillation pipeline, pressed and fermented, and then double-distilled with dregs in small copper stills until they were condensed into drops of colorless and transparent "water of life". "water of life".
The colorless, transparent water of life is handed over to the ambassador of the distillery, who helps us to put it into Limousin oak barrels made by bending them after being roasted by fire. During its long storage time, the Water of Life will gradually change into a dark amber-colored, fragrant liquid over time. It's a ritual! The longer the Water of Life spends with the Limousin barrels, the more mellow its color becomes, and the exhibition uses a "light show" to demonstrate this wonderful transformation.
Because of the different raw materials and brewing time, a small glass of Cognac can accidentally combine the flavors of many foods, such as candied fruit, Christmas fruit cake, honey, mandarin oranges ...... This is also the fun of wine tasting, right?
Warmly, all the above journeys can be clocked by scanning the code with your cell phone, each scan equals to lighting up a piece of Remy Martin map, and when the map is all lit up, you can exchange it for an exquisite Remy Martin Life Water as a souvenir.
Led by Bruce, Remy Martin's chief brand ambassador, we also tasted a "gourmet feast".
Bruce said Remy Martin X.O amplifies the experience of food on the taste buds, such as the richness of dark chocolate and the sweetness of mandarin oranges. ...... Mr. Bruce also offered a thought on what to serve with a glass of wine: keep a capital "C" in mind. The "C" could be cake, cheese, chocolate, Corn, etc.
The last stop on the tour has to be the modern Central Bar!
To enrich the experience, the bar offers five special cognac cocktails, each of which is complimentary, and you can inquire about the flavors when ordering. The "Hong Luck" was created by Remy Martin Greater China Honorary Ambassador Yuan Hong.
The ingredients include Remy Martin VSOP Champagne Cognac of excellent quality, Yangloudong brick tea from Yuan's hometown in Hubei, as well as Guangdong's favorite health berries and jujubes....... It sounds like the flavor of "through Guangdong".
But the beauty of the girls favorite, or one of the Cantonese charm full of cocktails called "Dongshan young master", by VSOP, raspberry vinegar, beet juice, bitters and lime juice made of, the entrance of the slightly sour and bitter after drinking the tongue has a sweetness, fresh taste buds feel very suitable for girls.
For those who are good drinkers, try the "Old Square". It has VSOP, bourbon, red vermouth, French gallery wine, bitters ......
There is also a VSOP, Cantonese milk tea and Cointreau orange liqueur with "Rixin Yueyi," which has the gentle taste of milk tea in the mouth, but has an X.O. aftertaste. The X.O aftertaste of the ...... wine is good, but please do not be greedy.
The House of Remy Martin, an important carrier of Remy Martin's brand spirit, presents the heritage of Cognac's craftsmanship and the brand's spirit of teamwork to every consumer through this immersive and exciting journey.
Since 2016, the House of Remy Martin has traveled to Guangzhou, Shanghai, Xiamen, Chengdu, Shenzhen and other cities. After five years, the House of Remy Martin has returned to the first stop of the journey with its new brand "Remy Martin, We are Wonderful" to respond to the enthusiasm of Guangdong Cognac lovers.
Exhibition time from 1/9 - 1/24, Guangdong's girlfriends do not miss ah! E sister and the beauty of the girls are ready to second brush ...... do not persuade me! I want to get drunk!
Behind the exquisite life, can not be separated from the quality of the lay. Since 1972, for nearly 300 years, the Remy Martin team has been brewing drops of precious cognac with outstanding talent, united ***gathering*** and ***collaborating together.
The idea behind the "House of Remy Martin in Guangzhou" is to turn the rigorous process of Cognac production into a fantastic experience, allowing visitors to follow the footsteps of a drop of Cognac, discover the story of the Remy Martin brand, and experience the transformation of a drop of grape juice into an amber-colored fine wine.
A little indulgence at the Central Bar showed that "Sighing at the World" is never just about spending money, but that the time and patience invested by tasters in learning the stories behind the great wines is in itself a joyous experience.
It is only when you can feel the value of this pleasure that you can truly understand life and the world.
Today's topic is:
Do you have a story with wine?
