BCB Attendees to Experience the Spirit’s Range
NEW YORK, June 11, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — The Bureau National Interprofessionnel du Cognac (BNIC), the entity promoting, protecting, and developing the Cognac Geographic Indication and its culture—is pleased to be hosting two Cognac seminars at this year’s Bar Convent Brooklyn on June 12th, see schedule below:
Wednesday, June 12th, 2024
Cognac for the Senses, with Dan Nicolaescu at 3:15PM
Cognac & Cheese, with Allen Katz and Tia Keenan at 4:15PM
These dynamic back-to-back seminars will be open to all attendees of Bar Convent Brooklyn; though seating is on a first come first served basis. Both seminars will kick off with an introduction to the region, production, and heritage. Guests will then dive into an exploration of the multifaceted spirit through hands-on tasting experiments and pairings.
A range of Cognac brands and expressions will be showcased, allowing guests to discover the range, and categories from the young VS (Very Special) to XO (Extra Old) Cognacs. The seminars are sponsored by the BNIC and will include the following brands: ABK6, Chateau Montifaud, Delamain, Cognac Frapin, HINE, Jean-Luc Pasquet, Larsen, Maison Ferrand, Martell, Merlet, Meukow, and Tesseron.
During the first seminar, Cognac for the Senses, industry expert and Cognac Educator Dan Nicolaescu will guide a sensory experience of Cognacs with water in various forms: sparkling, still, and ice. This will illustrate the individual characteristics and how different results can be achieved by temperature change, dilution, and mineral addition.
To follow, Cognac Educator Allen Katz will be joined by cheese expert Tia Keenan for Cognac & Cheese. During this seminar, attendees will taste through tips and tricks for pairing cheeses with Cognac’s multidimensional profile.
