It’s a feast for the senses on this week’s What We’re Drinking, as Dan uncorks a true liquid treasure, Cognac. He takes listeners through the rolling vineyards of western France to uncover how this legendary brandy is born, from grape to glass. Expect equal parts history, craft, and hedonism as we explore what makes Cognac one of the world’s most revered spirits.
Joining the conversation are three heavy hitters from the Cognac pantheon: Nicolas Nexon of Hine, who reveals how time and terroir shape their famously delicate house style; Jasmin Goldstein of Martell, who breaks down the blend of heritage and innovation that keeps one of the oldest Cognac houses fresh; and Alexandre Gabriel of Maison Ferrand, whose creative flair and encyclopedic knowledge bring the region’s artistry roaring to life.
Whether you’re a seasoned connoisseur or just trying to sound classy ordering at the bar, this episode delivers the perfect pour of education, entertainment, and inspiration. Grab a snifter, settle in, and prepare to fall in love with Cognac all over again.
