Chapter 264
Hector was the first to see the answers, and a look of disbelief flashed across his eyes.
This tenth round was more of a prank than a test. Whoever managed to pinpoint at least one of its contents correctly would be named the winner. But I never imagined that one of them would be able to list out the contents of the glass perfectly!
“I announce that the winner is Ms. Natalie!” Hector declared, turning toward Natalie with unbridled awe and admiration in his eyes.
The waiters displayed the answers for everyone to see. Natalie had listed three types of red wines with their corresponding location of production and vintage. After changing her answers a few times, Phoebe had only written one type of red wine.
Seeing the puzzled looks on the guests‘ faces, Hector explained, “The tenth wine was a mixture of Pétrus, La Mondotte, and Valandraud. Not only did Ms. Natalie get the types of wine correct, but she also identified their location of production and vintage to a tee.”
Shocked, a collective gasp rose from the crowd.
A mixture of three wines! What an unpredictable thing to do!
Phoebe‘s answer was not even remotely accurate, but that just showed how difficult the last round had been.
“I have to compliment Ms. Natalie‘s knowledge of wine,” said Hector, clapping his hand.
That led the other guests to burst into applause as well.
“The two ladies from the Leister family failed to figure it out, but that lady got it right! That‘s incredible!”
“She came with Samuel, didn‘t she? Well, well... It‘s always the quiet ones that surprise
you.”
“I‘m more interested in that lady‘s penmanship. It‘s simply amazing!”
“She‘s just good at everything!”
Just like that, the scornful gazes the guests once directed toward Natalie turned into
09.57OO.
