What’s the greatest invention in human history? The pyramids? The Suez Canal? The space shuttle? The remote control?
We’d argue it’s Cognac.
Born during the Enlightenment, Cognac is the distilled soul of wine—refined, complex, and undeniably French. While philosophers were debating liberty and reason, winemakers in southwestern France were quietly creating liquid gold.
Long revered as the pinnacle of fine spirits, Cognac (and its lesser-known cousin, Armagnac) has recently sparked a revival in the U.S. Over the past decade, American imports have surged by 40%—fueled by a thirst for quality and a newfound appreciation for small, independent producers.
In this class, we’ll explore what makes Cognac so exceptional—from the grapes and terroir to the stills and cellars. You’ll taste a curated lineup that spans style and region, including some rare finds from craft producers.
Whether you’re a longtime fan or a curious newcomer, this is your moment to experience Cognac at its best.
