The Ol' Man taught me pretty good. :D<br /><br />Speaking of cognac and things French... have you ever had calvados, aka Liquid Norman Fire? Once again, the Ol Man had something of a fetish for this stuff and I never really acquired the taste.Buckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05319116022465066060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18232353.post-29858739044813362222009-10-03T00:28:30.619-06:002009-10-03T00:28:30.619-06:00Buck,

When I DO drink Cognac straight I prefer Martel--both for the taste and in honor of a "Prairie Fire" FAC that flew out of DaNang named Paul Martel (from Hawaii & ret there) who was a Major when I met him and one of the great guys around.virgil xenophonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18232353.post-10714535989018635932009-10-02T10:52:09.689-06:002009-10-02T10:52:09.689-06:00Virgil: It's a good thing my Ol' Man has ...Virgil: It's a good thing my Ol' Man has passed on...

Good as it is as a Rusty Nail, try a Mig-15--equal parts Drambuie and Cognac on the rocks. prefer a double shot of each over the rocks--then sit back and slowly become immobilized.
