We're grateful that our old friend John Conroy comes back to the Metro to headline our June 3 Monthly Dinner along with a guest from Louis Royer Cognac.
Louis Royer is coming to us courtesy of new member and Shopper's Vineyard owner Seth Nadel. Seth tells us that Royer will also have a few t-shirts on hand and sampling Louis Royer cigars. Louis Royer XO embodies the perfect balance between the most prestigious crus of cognac and meets the demands of connoisseurs. It is produced by blending the best cognac eaux-de-vie which has been carefully selected from amongst Louis Royer's oldest stock. Its colour is incandescent gold. The perfect harmonious nose reveals aromas of vineyard blossom combined with Limousin oak and hints of vanilla and mellow rancio. Its virtility never turns into aggressiveness, which enables you to fully savour it's lingering taste and remarkable finesse.
