The World of Brandy: From Classic Cognac to Hidden Gems

Thursday, April 2nd 2025 at 7pm

From dim and dusty old European cellars to the sun-drenched vineyards of California, brandy has been quietly perfecting itself for centuries. Join us for an evening that traces this noble spirit’s journey from medieval medicine to modern luxury, from rustic farmhouse apple Calvados to the polished elegance of fine French Cognac. Whether you want to discover the honeyed aromas of aged Armagnac or the bright, botanical vibrancy of Peruvian Pisco, this tasting will reveal how a simple distillation of fruit can capture both place and time in a glass.

The evening will lead you through five distinctive brandies, each telling its own story of terroir, tradition, and technique. Learn how different fruits, distillation methods, and aging processes create an astounding range of flavors and complexities. This is an opportunity to discover why brandy has been the quiet companion of contemplative drinkers for generations.

A carefully selected charcuterie board will complement the tasting, and we’ll finish off with some tried-and-true brandy cocktails.

$35 per person. Please RSVP!
