Would you reinvent your French onion soup with ... apples?
Only in the wine world could evaluate a bottle that's covered in fungus to be a hot, high-priced commodity. This time around: bottles of Armagnac Vieux and Clos du Griffier cognac from the 1700s and 1800s.
The perfect perks of fall: drinking, cooking and delighting in fresh apple cider straight from the mill.
Product pick: Dr. McDougall's Chunky Soup.
Recipes: Maple Pepper Bacon Strips With Boston Lager Glaze, Garlic Cheese Popovers, Salmon-Potato Cakes, Provence Fresh Herb Sauce for Dipping and Saucing
