Join us as we travel the Cognac region of France by tasting five amazing cognacs in San Jose! We will be tasting a flight of distinguished fine Cognacs and each one will be accompanied by an exquisite food pairing. Each food pairing has been specially selected by the 78 Degrees staff who works very close with the wonderful chef at Mosaic Restaurant and Lounge. There is no better way to prepare to end your summer. We will reveal the food pairings as we get closer to the event, but we assure you, this is an event that you do not want to miss!  Here is a list of the Cognacs that are on the menu for the night.

• Conjure (made in a cocktail)

In addition to the flight and the food pairings, at every event, the 78 Degrees staff will walk you through the history of Cognac, as well as each drink being presented. They will also teach you how to properly observe, nose, and taste the spirit, as well as help you identify tasting notes that you can use when pairing food with spirits at home.

About 78 Degrees:

78 Degrees was started by two cognac and scotch enthusiasts.  They noticed that many people (including themselves) had misconceptions about scotch, cognac, and other premium liquors.  They also learned that many people found exploring scotch and cognac to be somewhat intimidating, and were unsure where to begin.  Since then, they have been on a mission to remove the shroud of mystery surrounding the world of cognac, scotch, and other aged spirits, making it more accessible to a larger audience.  78 Degrees will be holding events at bars all around the Bay Area at which guests will be presented with specially-selected flights and cocktails, along with fun and interactive education. A combination of education, fun, and approachability is used at the events to encourage nearly everyone to find a way that they can enjoy these fine spirits.
