Comment on Guy Pinard Organic Cognac wins Norwegian Approval by Ole Cigar

Good news.
But why organic wine as basis for making cognac?
Simply because if you add the sugar and the caramel like the big 4 houses do, it is like putting a strong filter on your camera lense. You might tone down a colour or the sharp sun but you are altering and hiding the taste of the origin: The grape.

If you went to a concert would you like a curtain between you and the orchestra?

Sugared cognac is not as bad as all the artificial best sellers in the wine market. However, sometimes badly distilled products gain from adding sugar. Why not add an icecube as well…

Comment on Martell with New Special Edition for 100 Years Cordon Bleu by Cigar Ole

“…that makes the blend unique.”

Just think about the implication of what Martell is telling us here:
1. Any blend is unique isn’t it?
2. If the blend consists of 64 eaux-de-vie why don’t they offer us the best or the 2 or 3 best eaux-de-vies at this outrageous price?

One thing is for sure. The expesive packing & marketing campaign doesn’t make the quality of the content inside the bottle any better. Just more costly.

Comment on Horror Scenario: “In 100 years there will be no more cognac in Cognac” by Peter

Climate change is a reality and none of us can or should ignore it. To merely say that the effects are likely to be too far into the future to worry about is why the world is the state that it is in at the moment – and I don’t just mean climate but also the parlous financial state and the fact that we have too many people and the population is growing at an ever faster rate – exaserbating all of the other problems. Far too few of us accept what is going all around us on these fronts or – at best – think that they can do nothing about them and so these looming disasters get ignored and pushed to one-sdie again – for the next generation to have to cope with. Our children and grand-children will have a huge amount to blame us for – and rightly so if we don’t all do something drastic now.
