In this episode I taste both of Grandma's tiny bottles of Monnet Cognac with Christine Cooney, co-owner of Heavenly Spirits Imports (and a French knight! ). Heavenly Spirits is the US importer for Monnet Cognac today. We compare the two tiny bottles and look for bottle-to-bottle variation, then taste the modern "Sunshine" bottling that matches up best to Grandma's bottles. Christine was a delightful and knowledgeable guest (with a very charming French accent) and we had an awesome time comparing and contrasting, as well as talking about her personal history in the industry, and the tumultuous story of the Monnet brand.
