Coffee and Cognac

Espresso-and-cognacIt appears that a coffee, specifically an espresso, and a Cognac, together, are the drinks of choice on Saturdays, after lunch in Alsace. The area is famed for its long winding road that travels through the vineyards, with pit stops and dozens of wineries and tasting rooms. But a lunch time, after the aperitifs and de rigueur glasses, carafes or bottles of wine, out comes the Cognac and coffee. It's a ritual.

Originally I thought that this early afternoon imbibing was geared only to tourists, as there are many who flock to the quaint towns of Alsace. But in fact, the tourists hop back into their cars and race to the next town while the locals, the families at enormous tables who are catching up for the week, the workers, who gather still in on-the-clock garb, are all talking and eating and then wind down with a coffee and Cognac.

What are you drinking today?
