COGNAC HAS ITS OWN NATIONAL DAY IN THE USA

You may choose to celebrate Cinco de Mayo with Tequila, St-Patrick's Day with some Irish Whiskey,  ... so when do you get to celebrate with cognac. Try tomorrow for 'Cognac National Day'.

Yes Saturday 4th of June 2016 is Cognac National Day in the USA!

Do not check the official government website for Cognac (http://www.cognac.fr) they do not know about it!

My 3 suggestions:

. Open a bottle of sparkling wine, better if Champagne, drop 1 or 2 or 3 droplets of cognac VSOP depending on your mood and it will taste so much better than before.

. Ginger soda, ice cubes and VS cognac.

. Sparkling water, lime, ice cube and VS cognac.

Cognac deserves its American Holiday says Thrillist.

COGNAC SUFFERED HAILSTORMS ON FRIDAY 27th May 2016

Severe hailstorms, caused serious damage in the vineyards of the cognac regions last weekend mostly on Friday May 27th. These storms have mostly damaged the leaves at this stage since they are no fruits for the moment. This increases the prospects of prices sensitivity if this is confirmed lowering production of grapes. More details and forecasts will be evaluated at the time of the 'floraison' in 2 or 3 weeks, that is the time when the wines are creating all the little strings sort of flowers to become the grapes.   VIDEO FROM BFM [French] http://bcove.me/h1vse75q
