WHERE IS THE REBOOT BUTTON ON PEOPLE?


... I only drink vodka ... I only drink merlot ... sorry I only drink brand X ... I have never tried cognac I do not think I like it ... I tried cognac once it burns right here ... I don't like cognac it is too strong says a lady walking away with a 2 liters bottle of vodka ...  I prefer scotch says a man looking at me with a face kind of saying to me - you think I don't know you are trying to convince me to buy a lesser thing ... Cognac! Hummm! I only like cognac from France says another ... 
I wonder if people who go through a period of amnesia actually make the same stupid statements afterwards? 
Perhaps there are 3 kinds of people that get to experience life versus go through it: the one that does not know, the one that knows a lot and the one that wants to know. I am sorry for the rest of the people. Life is already so short that I would not want to settle for average.
My apologies to sensitive minds. I am just returning from a promo in a large alcoholic beverage store and spoke to 100s of people and I had to vent a little.

WHEN AND HOW TO DRINK COGNAC: FIRST LET'S REVIEW THE 'WHAT NOT TO DO LIST'.


It is often that people ask me on how and when one should drink cognac. In fact, this is not a simple question as there are many ways and many opportunities one should favor cognac.
Cognac is not seasonal as many people think: in other words, not just for the Winter months, and not just a sipping spirit. Cognac is much more versatile that many people think.
But first, one should take his time and savour it bit by bit, little by little. Cognac is about the moment!
First here is what not to do with cognac.
