With the sun shining for over 300 days in a year in \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;the valley of Ararat in Armenia,\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt; the issue doesn’t come up that often nowadays but the first grape seeds in the region were actually planted by Noah right after the big flood – you know, the one where he had to arrive on his ark because there was water literally everywhere. Anyway, what we’re trying to say is that grapes and traditional Brandy-making go way back in Armenia and one of their oldest, if not the oldest Brandy companies is \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;Yerevan Brandy Company\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt; that was founded in \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;1887 \u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;in the Armenian capital of Yerevan.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;For over a century, they’ve been producing the award-winning Yerevan Brandy from some of the oldest grapes in the world (Think Noah-old.). Using \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;white grapes, fresh spring water \u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;and \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;traditional methods \u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;that have been around for thousands of years, they make some pretty remarkable stuff and the story goes even \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;Winston Churchill \u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;was a die-hard fan after \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;Stalin \u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;gifted him a bottle at the\u0026lt;em\u0026gt; 1945 Yalta Conference.\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt; Even the French thought it was really great and worth of their carefully (to put it mildly) guarded designation\u0026lt;em\u0026gt; “Cognac”\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt; at the 1900 International Exhibition in Paris.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;“Vaspurakan” is Armenian for “noble country” and in ancient times, Vaspurakan was considered the promised land.
