Is Cognac a wine? 

No. 

But they make it from wine, so it counts! 

This episode we talk about all the things that make this one of the most famous and popular Eau de Vie's on in the world. From music, to movies, to Tom Cruise and alchemists we really cover a lot here. Yes, we also get into regions, subzones, grapes and aging requirements of course. 

Books weren't much help to me this episode but I did rely on a great resource:
