The Armagnac Story

Explores the joys of Gascony--the people, the cuisine, and the distinctive brandy which the world knows as Armagnac. Contrasts the old and new ways of distilling and aging Armagnac. Visits kitchens, bakeries, restaurants, markets, and tasting rooms where the brandy is savored and/or used in foods of the region. Displays the unique charm of the area: the unusual bullfights, the stone farmhouses, and fortified manor houses including the chateau of d'Artagnan. French version L'Histoire d'Armagnac [UC0453] also available.
