Description

Cognac is to this day the most revered and historical distillate of wine. A legendary spirit with centuries of history. First and foremost, Cognac is a place. It is a town in the Charente department of southwestern France, and the distinct climate, soils, culture, and history of the surrounding area are expressed in the spirit that’s made here. Today, both within the fine-dining, alcoholic beverage industries and pop-culture, Cognac has regained all of its past glory. The styles, versatility, applications and personalities of Cognac are immensely varied and its production method considered one of the most artisanal and crafted in the world of spirits. In this 3.5-hour course, we will cover Cognac’s history, production, and ways to enjoy it, as well as food pairing concepts. We will taste a minimum selection of 12 Cognacs that will illustrate a variety of terroirs, styles, tiers and aging categories. Our guest instructor, Irina Ponomarenko, is an official Cognac Educator, certified by the BNIC (Bureau National Interprofessionnel du Cognac). Participants will receive a ‘certificate of attendance’ issued by the BNIC.
