CHAPTER 1126: CHAPTER 1125: WINE TASTING EVENT

Basically, all the distinguished guests Ye Qiu invited came with bodyguards and family members. Now, the lights at the Eastern Castle are already on, and with more people, it’s much livelier.

Originally, these people only gathered once before at the last gathering hosted by Count Charley. This time counts as their second meeting.

"Feel free to chat and eat, and as for the wine here, you can taste it first."

Ye Qiu said.

Currently, Count Charley and Housekeeper Ivan haven’t arrived yet. Just as Ye Qiu thought they might be delayed, he unexpectedly heard the sound of a helicopter outside.

When Ye Qiu came outside, he saw a helicopter gradually descending from the sky.

This area is all grassland, allowing the helicopter to land slowly.

As Ye Qiu and Louise approached, they saw Count Charley and Housekeeper Ivan, along with Count Charley’s bodyguards, alighting from the helicopter. Count Charley said, "Dr. Ye, long time no see."

"Count Charley, but now we’re meeting."

Count Charley thought he was the earliest to arrive, but unexpectedly, there were already so many luxury cars parked outside.

"Have all the guests arrived?"

"Most of them have."

When Count Charley and Housekeeper Ivan went inside, they indeed found that almost all the other distinguished guests had arrived.

When Count Charley went around greeting the guests, he realized he hadn’t visited here even once in a year before. He hadn’t really looked at the castle much before.

Now he noticed it was slightly smaller than Count Charley’s big castle, but still nice; at least it was beautifully decorated tonight.

This time, Count Charley came to check out the wines.

Because he never expected that wines produced in the same region would taste so different.

"Dr. Ye, where is your wine?"

"They are all at the wine cellar."

"Could you take me to have a look?"

"Of course."

Ye Qiu led Count Charley and Housekeeper Ivan to the nearby winery. As they entered, they finally realized that this winery was the one Ye Qiu had built.

Upon entering, they were greeted by a rich wine aroma, and upon descending to the wine cellar, the scent became even more pronounced.

"Is this all there is?"

Seeing the wine stored there didn’t seem very impressive.

"Most are still in oak barrels, not yet bottled."

Ye Qiu replied.

Count Charley thought so too; after all, this estate is so large, there couldn’t only be this bit of wine.

After they finished looking, they came out, and Count Charley asked, "Dr. Ye, how do you want to sell them?"

"I plan to sell them at a high price. Right now, the priority is to establish the brand, hence inviting these celebrities over for a tasting tonight."

"Good stuff can’t be hidden for long."

Count Charley said.

After tasting the wine, he really liked it.

So there’s no doubt that others would feel the same; thousands of Euros for such wine is definitely worth it.

Of course, this surprised Count Charley a bit. Under Ye Qiu’s management, the Vineyard improved in all aspects, not just a single layer.

Returning to the castle’s first floor with Count Charley, the distinguished guests were chatting there, slowly enjoying the prepared wines, each tasting distinctly unique.

Especially those who regularly drink wine, they particularly appreciated the rich, captivating aroma of this wine and the indescribable fragrance.

"Dr. Ye, your wine is exceptionally good."

Guests passing by commented.

...

Ye Qiu didn’t specifically host any ceremonies; he simply let the guests enjoy a buffet, drink wine, and chat. When they seemed to have been drinking enough, Ye Qiu said, "I’ll now ask Housekeeper Eugene to bring the other wines bought from the market for everyone to taste and see if there’s a difference?"

Having just tasted the wine here, they were now offered outside wines to compare.

When Housekeeper Eugene brought out several cases of wine and had the servants pour them into glasses one by one for the guests to taste, these guests realized that the difference between good wines and ordinary or other wines was indeed significant.

"Do you all know the price of these wines?"

The guests shook their heads, still unaware.

Because they were unlabeled.

"Actually, these are not cheap either, over a thousand Euros a bottle."

Ye Qiu said.

Wang Leshan, Wang Xiaoling, and Zhou Wenting were quite surprised by this. The three women were also drinking earlier, but didn’t dare drink too much for fear of getting drunk.

However, Wang Leshan and Wang Xiaoling didn’t understand wine, felt wine generally tasted sour or bitter. Now, after tasting the outside wine brought back, the two felt it was similar.

After the guests finished drinking, it could only be said that compared with the wine brewed here by Ye Qiu, it was really more than just a level below.

"Dr. Ye, your wine is undoubtedly better."

Count Augusta said.

"Later, I’ll give each guest a case to take home for tasting."

Ye Qiu said.

A case equals twelve bottles, certainly a generous gesture.

Inviting a hundred distinguished guests means a hundred cases, totaling twelve hundred bottles. If priced above Lafite, it would indeed be a significant amount.

With wine to drink now and some to take away, these guests are surely delighted.

Ye Qiu chatted with them, as in the last gathering, but this time Ye Qiu was the host and naturally took the initiative more.

As the banquet progressed past nine in the evening, music began playing, and the distinguished guests started dancing. Louise and Zhou Wenting knew that Ye Qiu was very good at ballroom dancing.

"Qiu, let’s go dance!"

Louise said.

"Alright!"

Ye Qiu didn’t need to attend to the guests now and took Louise to the center of the hall, starting to waltz like the other guests.

These were people from the French high society, and naturally, they were practiced at ballroom dancing.

Zhou Wenting, Wang Xiaoling, Wang Leshan watched from the side. Earlier, some guests invited them, but the three women ultimately declined.

After all, they didn’t like or weren’t accustomed to being so familiar with strangers.

However, Zhou Wenting and Wang Leshan saw Ye Qiu and Louise dancing skillfully, naturally attracting attention and applause from numerous guests.

This Dr. Ye not only excelled in medical skills but also as a clothing designer, and now the wine he facilitated is so delicious. In their eyes, Dr. Ye seemed capable of anything.

After Ye Qiu and Louise finished dancing and returned to the side, Zhou Wenting approached.

Judging from Zhou Wenting’s expression, Ye Qiu knew what she was thinking.

"Then, let’s dance."

Zhou Wenting’s ballroom dancing wasn’t as proficient as Louise, but she could at least keep up with the rhythm.
