Red wine and cognac?

So, one of my house mates was in Lyon, France, this summer and has been regaling us with the merits of a drink of red wine, cognac, and who knows what else blended together. Has anyone heard of this?

Thanks!

I know all you eat and drink ends up mixed up in your stomach. I like to enjoy the flavors of each drink separately.

Sorry, all, just realized I posted this in "the cafe" and not "the speakeasy". I was thinking about the Euro version of a cafe, I guess.

If a Mod could move this to the appropriate forum, that would be great, thanks!

A sort of Sangria perhaps?

That's what it sounds like to me. Most of the sangria recipes I can think of call for brandy too, so it might be a local variation.

That never even dawned on me, great thought! I will have to question him more along that line.

Thanks, gents!
