Cognac is often considered to be the most prized brandy in the world. Produced primarily in small quantities, the Cognac region has centuries of history behind it, and bottles of the stuff regularly fetch thousand-dollar sums at auction.

The 15 Best Brandy Cocktails
Let’s face it: Brandy isn’t exactly hot right now. The category is considered to be a bit old school, and with its equally niche subcategories, it can be downright confusing to consumers. But when it comes down to it, brandy is just distilled wine made from grapes, apples, pears, and the like. Brandy is largely classified by its base and origin: Cognac and Armagnac are aged expressions of distilled grapes from specific regions in France, while Calvados, from Normandy, is made with apples.

Wine 101: French Wine Regions: Cognac
This episode’s sponsor of “Wine 101” is Talbott Vineyards, home to the legendary Sleepy Hollow Vineyard. Sounds mysterious, right? Sleepy Hollow is famous for producing acclaimed Chardonnays and Pinot Noir. Okay, this is where things get weird. Every day the vineyard gets shrouded in cooling fog from the Pacific Ocean. It’s all good. The grapes ripen more slowly and end up packed with concentrated flavor and color. To try Talbott Vineyards’ wine, visit TheBarrelRoom.com.

Chestnut Brandy Alexander
I know that Brandy Alexanders were a big hit on the dinner table in the 20's when dessert cocktails were a bit more simple-minded, and sipping on a milky nightcap was a classy way to wrap up a meal. But with the rise of the craft cocktail, this vintage after-dinner treat has fallen out of fashion, and it has fast turned into the ultimate retro cocktail.
