Awesome, thank everyone very kindly for your suggestions !!

Well I’m reluctant to say as you may consider me a product of my environment but I am trying to broaden my horizon LOL, I live in south Louisiana !! The only reason I thought of Cognac is because my friend likes it that lives in TX, do you have a better suggestion I don't like wiskey ??

Okay so I've only been privileged to sample cognac on occasion and it seems delightful but as I am only a novice with a limited budget I would like to toast a special event this weekend in celebration of my daughters engagement, can anyone recommend something simple but truly enjoyable ??
