"Rich in history and admirable scholarship. . . . It's a fine
grande champagne of a book, to be savored over and over."
-Patricia Wells, author of The Provence Cookbook
Called the "brandy of the gods" by Victor Hugo, Cognac is a
universal symbol of refinement and quality. In the first
comprehensive history of this celebrated drink, Kyle Jarrard charts
Cognac's birth in the 1500s and its transformation into the world's
most coveted brandy. Along the way, he reveals how Cognac
distillers weathered vineyard die-offs, the German occupation, and
other challenges over the years-and offers a fascinating
behind-the-scenes look at Hennessy, Remy-Martin, Courvoisier,
Martell, and other legendary brands.
For any Cognac lover, this fascinating book will make the perfect
gift.
Kyle Jarrard (Paris, France) is a senior editor at the
International Herald Tribune and author of the highly acclaimed
novels Over There and Rolling the Bones.
