YEREVAN, JUNE 20, ARMENPRESS: Editor of electronic network Palate
Press which is involved in wine advertising Becky Epstein shared with
emotions of her visit to Armenia and feelings of Armenian wine and
brandy. Armenpress presents citing Palate Press the article of the
editor called "Armenia: Endearing, Scrappy Mountain Country in the
Caucasus": "My purpose in going to Armenia was to learn about its
great brandies. Armenia has been making quality cognac-style brandies
since the late 1800s. A merchant called Nerses Tahiryan started the
Noy Brandy Company in 1877, on the site of a 16th century Persian
castle in Yerevan. Acquiring a copper pot-still from Cognac, he hired
an Armenian who had graduated from the wine school in Montpellier,
France. The first cognacs were called "Fine-Champagne" and made in
the same style as Cognac's Fine Champagnes, but with native Armenian
grapes. And it apparently turned out very well, as the distiller was
able to source grapes with the right qualities for his "cognac."
Epstein reverberated to the wine, brandy factory "Noy", spoke about
exporting of the beverages to Russia and neighbor countries and their
ale in Armenia. "The next huge factory of brandy is Ararat" writes
the editor adding: "the factory is provided with best equipment,
cooperates with many countries. The 92 percent of cognac is exported".
"Armenia's story is that it is the first place wine was made, over
8,000 years ago" concludes Becky Epstein.
