Brandy
Author: Becky Sue Epstein
Publisher: Reaktion Books
ISBN: 178023385X
Category : Cooking
Languages : en
Pages : 153
Book Description
Made from distilled wine, brandy has a long, noble tradition of refined consumption, but it has also recently experienced a surge in popularity thanks to new cocktail trends. Brandy chronicles the history of this very popular spirit, traveling from medieval alchemists to present-day drink mixologists and exploring brandy’s production and consumption from the Middle Ages to today. Delving into brandy’s fascinating story, Becky Sue Epstein reveals that many cultures have contributed to the history of the beverage, from the Dutch calling the drink “burnt wine” to the Spanish colonials in Peru and California who produced the first brandies in the New World. She also explores the distillation and aging processes, and she discusses the spirit’s many varieties, including the elegant, amber Cognac and the more overlooked Armagnac. In addition, Epstein offers advice on buying, storing, and serving brandy, while also providing recipes for both classic and new cocktails. Taken neat or mixed in a sidecar, Brandy is a tasty book for both connoisseurs and first-time drinkers to enjoy.

Book Description
From USA TODAY & Wall Street Journal bestselling author Meagan Brandy comes an all-new standalone romance set in college about a hotshot pitcher and the girl who never saw coming. You know how in college there's that one guy everyone wants to be? That's me. I'm the top dog. The number one. The big man on campus. Some say those things are solid wins. My new tutor would disagree. My title means nothing to her. My status lost on her. And now my mind? That sucker is stuck on her. She was told to make our sessions priority over all, to drop everything when I need her, and come to me. She does. But I don't want to steal her time anymore. I want to earn it. If anyone can do that, it's me. I'm Tobias Cruz, the king of the curveball. I don't lose. Not the game, and surely not the girl. Little did I know, this girl has herself a secret ... and it's the dirtiest curve yet.

Book Description
So... we all know Brandy's a fine girl, and what a good wife she would be, but who says (with a little luck, Of course, and some lovely Irish charm) she couldn't steal the sailor from the sea?!? Surely there's more To The story than what we've been told. The locket is nice, As is the braided silver chain, but come on! There must be more to Brandy's life than serving whiskey and wine to drunken sailors while she impatiently waits For The man she loves to return to her port. Travel back in time with me as we explore Brandy's life. Who was she, really? Why did she continue to hold onto the hope of finding happiness with a man who has obviously rejected her? Why do any of us hold onto such hope when the odds are so clearly stacked against us? is it because there's always that slight chance that our dreams may come true in the end, And The heartache will have been worth it? I believe that is precisely the reason! If you agree, let's explore Brandy's story more closely to discover what we might find. Take my hand... Do you hear the rushing water as it crashes into the shore? Do you feel the warm California sun as it softly kisses your face, And The light breeze as it tousles your hair? If so, you're on the right track and our journey has begun.

The Brandy Trade Under the Ancien Régime
Author: L. M. Cullen
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 9780521890984
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 316
Book Description
In this 1998 study of the brandy trade and its merchants, Professor Cullen explores the development of cognac, the world's most famous spirit product, which emerged as a consequence of a chronic wine surplus. While Professor Cullen focuses on the brandy trade, his findings contradict the view of a 'static' French economy in the eighteenth century. Professor Cullen shows that the brandy trade was based on a sophisticated regional economy, which, by 1720, had become a key component of French involvement in the modern international trading system. Notwithstanding the competition supplied by the emergence of surplus in other cereals and by foreign markets, regional specialisation in the Charente was an indispensable element in ensuring the quality of stable output, and was recognised in the region's success in attracting foreign négociants, such as the household names of Martell and Hennessy.
