When you think of brandy, you probably think of brown liquid sipped from a sifter by very well-to-do looking people. And generally, that's who this drink markets to. But brandy deserves a chance with those of us who are not Donald Trump too.

Korbel, a company better known for its sparkling wines, has recently unveiled a new high-end packaging as well -- targeting that rich demographic. But don't let that fool you. You'll like this drink, too.

The Korbel California Brandy has won awards for the flavor they give to their premium brandies. It takes a very long time to perfect a brandy. To make brandy, you must first make wine then you have to distill it and barrel age it. Korbel uses charred oak barrels allowing the brandy to maintain contact with both oak and charcoal as it ages.

The result is a smooth flavor that pretty much anyone can enjoy. Traditionally, brandy drinkers enjoy a glass after dinner but brandy can be enjoyed during happy hour as well. Impress your friends and order yourself a brandy next time you go out.
