Long Description#Tasting Notes#Grande Champagne Cognac meets Japan’s unique oak; Courvoisier Mizunara Cognac is an experience never tasted before. With only 500 bottles created and only 30 made available for the entire UK, this collaboration between Courvoisier and House of Suntory may prove one of the most sought-after Cognacs the world has ever seen. Courvoisier is famed for its meticulous wood selection, but even by their exacting standards, this is pushing brandy’s boundaries. It was created by Patrice Pinet and Shinji Fukuyo. The former is Courvoisier’s sixth chief blender, who has been on their tasting committee for over 30 years. The latter is House of Suntory’s fifth-generation chief blender, who is the man behind iconic whiskies such as Yamazaki Sherry Cask, Hibiki Japanese Harmony and Hakushu Distiller’s Reserve, to name just a few. Together, they took the most famous eaux-de-vie of the Cognac region, Grande Champagne, and filled it into French oak for its first maturation. After that, it was finished in casks made from the legendary Japanese mizunara oak tree. After World War II, Japan found it very hard to secure barrels to mature its spirits in, but demand was growing. So, they turned to Japanese oak, also known as ‘mizunara’. It’s painfully difficult to work with, making it expensive and rare, but its tight grain imparts exotic aromas of sandalwood, incense and souk spices. Anything aged in it is intriguing, unique and in high demand. Courvoisier Mizunara Cognac is a spirit that comes in waves. The first brings sandalwood, roasted cocoa, sweet spices and tobacco from the Mizunara. While still reeling from that one, another wave washes over you, bringing tropical fruit, jasmine, fruitcake and vanilla. Then the finish rides in on a wave of luxuriously runny honey. The final wave is one of desire for another precious sip. This is a sensational combining of cultures that should not be missed. As one of the biggest names in the spirits world, this brandy’s long and illustrious popularity stretches from being ‘Le Cognac de Napoleon’ and the Royal Courts of Europe to becoming the first Cognac to appear on TV and being eulogised by rapper Busta Rhymes in his song ‘Pass the Courvoisier’. In a word, timeless.#Product Details#Country: FranceAlcohol by volume (ABV): 40%Volume: 700ml

It's Show House time in Atlanta and yesterday I was lucky enough to preview the home. Maybe I say this every year but hot damn it was almost more eye candy than I could bear. Of course the fact that it was an epic day on the weather front could have helped:) This year the historic Palazzo Rosa [one of the most recognized historic family homes in Atlanta] was chosen to showcase the talented designers. The Italian style home was designed by architects Neel Reid and Philip Schutze in the 1920's and has been called the "Pink Palace" because of the previous stucco color and the pink dogwoods lining the driveway. There are 5 bedrooms and 9 bathrooms with 16,000 sq feet of complete fabulousness. This is a before shot of the house from the press package. I took this off Instagram [#asoshowhouse] I am going to start with the Grand Salon designed by Barbara Westbrook. The hand painted linen walls are original to the home and they were jaw dropping... I mean these walls are almost 100 years old! Another favorite room was Lance and David's [Parker-Kennedy] Master Terrace. Wowza. For real. They built this in the shop and then took it apart and had to re-install it. It. Was. Fabulous. They were sponsored by Scalmandre Fabrics. Almost everything in the space was vintage. I loved the mirrors....they were going to actually put in openings but ran out of time. Sometimes the second choice becomes the best choice right? These guys are the whole package....fun, friendly and extremely talented. You can find them at Scott's sometimes and they are also competing in the ORC with a MBR makeover. The kitchen and baths were renovated by Design Galleria. Checkout the countertops This room by McLaurin Interiors was stunning. I was all over the yellow with the beautiful wall color [BM Pearl River]. Clay McLaurin has a fabric line now and I feel like it could become an obsession... Pretty huh? There is more....so much more. I will save for Monday. You must go. April 26 through May 18. Get your info here Shamazed
When I was in grade school, the librarian read us Fairy Tales from Hans Christian Andersen, illustrated by Tasha Tudor. I remember going to the library each week and anxiously waiting for the librarian to finish reading the book, so that I could check it out and look at the lovely illustrations. When I grew a little older, I delighted in her illustrations in The Secret Garden. As an adult, I still like Tasha Tudor's illustrations. I also find pleasure in looking at photos of her amazing garden. Postcard available from Tasha Tudor and Family The other day, I came across the quote below from Tasha Tudor, and she endeared herself even more to me. "I enjoy doing housework, ironing, washing, cooking, dishwashing. Whenever I get one of those questionaires and they ask what is your profession, I always put down housewife. It's an admirable profession, why apologize for it. You aren't stupid because you're a housewife. When you're stirring the jam you can read Shakespeare."
The huge apartment, which sits on one of the hotel’s lower floors, was revamped to have more of a loft-like feel.
