Rich Garcia - A Rare Vintage

To some, there’s nothing so fine as sitting down after a long day and taking that first sip of warming cognac. Rich Garcia, chef at 606 Congress, just so happens to be one of those people which is why, this year, he’s hoping to find a bottle of the French brandy under the tree. But not just any old bottle – he’s gunning for the Jean Grosperrin -1968- Fins Bois, one of the world’s rarest cognacs that’s been aging for over forty years. Light, peppery and very clear in the glass, this bottle promises more than a few pleasant after dinner sips. Of course all this excellence comes at a price – a bottle (which you can procure through rare vintage spirit dealers) will set you back around $250. Still, if ever there was a time to splurge, it’s the holidays. Delight the cognac lover in your life with a bottle of the truly good stuff.
