Do people really drink brandy as an aperitif?
I'd always thought it was strictly an after-dinner thing, practically a dessert.
Sherry is an apertif, brandy is for after dinner, as is cognac.
I sometimes enjoy a young armagnac to start, usually before a steak, there are always exceptions to the "rules"
>Pinot with fish
>Verdelho with duck
Im not ashamed of my choices, at leat theyre based on logic and an understanding of my palate rather than convention
