Hello,
This is the best place I could find to ask a question.
Let me start by saying that I know *nothing* about cognac :-)
I would like to get a bottle of cognac for a friend as a gift. I have looked at several, and read what I could find, and have pretty much settled on Remy Martin VSOP.
Have I made a good choice?
Thanks for any advice!

Much depends on what your friend likes. My favorite is Grand Marnier.
But Grand Marnier is not really classified as a Cognac. It is in fact an Orange flavoured liqueur based on Cognac.
I think that Remy Martin VSOP is a very nice well matured cognac and has been a long time favourite of mine. There are other which I like better but to be honest it is very much a matter of personal taste and habit. Your friend, if he is a cognac drinker will appreciate the Remy Martin. It is the VSOP bit that is the important part that tells you that you are buying a well aged cognac. You can buy more expensive ( in general Older cognacs -- i.e. matured in oak barrels for longer) but your friend will not turn his nose up at the Remy Martin VSOP
