The grape connection between cognac and champagne is certainly an appealing hypothesis, but I really don’t know. Someday (!) I’ll learn more about the science and psychology of taste; it might broaden my cocktail imagination considerably.

I’m really not sure why some things go together so well – in this case, could it be because they’re both made from grapes?

A similar thing is the “half and half” that I used to drink in Glaswegian pubs. Beer and Scotch, also both made of the same source, go together perfectly. And, as you said about deconstruction, they also go perfectly together when in the same glass, as in the Beggar’s Banquet.

Yes, we did have opportunities to learn and still do every day.
As always, the writing and photography are the best.
