Grappa is Italian Brandy, It is made by distilling the grapes after

Different grapes give a different flavor, When I travel to Italy I buy a
bottle from the area I am in,
I found that the grappa made in the upper Veneto region is much harsher
than the one made from the
Brachetto grapes that grow in the Piemonte region, or the moscato grapes.
I usualy buy 20 bottles and I paid as little as $ 4.00 and as high as $
45.00, In Bassano they had some as high as $ 200.00, there I
bought the one costing about $ 18.00, you find the best buys in
supermarkets.
I like to sip the grappa in a warm glass, but most of it I drink in a cup of
coffee. ( caffe corretto )

I tried Marc once. It must be an acquired taste. I like most liquors
straight and
thoroughly enjoy a nice brandy or cognac. Drinking marc was a unique
experience.
I sipped it and attempted to savour it. What I experienced was a
sequence
of
sensations as it passed from one zone of my palate to another, and
none of them pleasant.
Cognac *is* brandy. recognize that
not all brandy is cognac.

Are you in a nitwit contest? I suspect you are way ahead. My point
exactly -
all Cognac is brandy, but not all brandy is Cognac. Saying "I enjoy brandy
and Cognac" is like saying "I enjoy wine and Burgundy" or "I enjoy whiskey
and Scotch." If you do not understand that then you are beyond hope.
