Jacques Villeneuve says he “can’t be angry” with Michael Schumacher, after all the German’s actions “helped” him win the 1997 World title.
Villeneuve and Schumacher clashed in the mid-1990s as the Ferrari driver took on the Williams pairing of Villeneuve and Damon Hill for the Drivers’ crown.
Hill won it in 1996 and Villeneuve a year later.
Villeneuve’s battle with Schumacher for the crown went down to the wire, the two separated by a single point heading to Jerez.
Battling for position, Villeneuve tried to pass Schumacher at the Dry Sack corner on the 48th lap only for the German to turn in on him.
A cold evening calls for a luxurious warming libation. High-end bourbon, single malt Scotch and cognac are very satisfying, but they can be quite expensive.
Consider Spanish brandy, a potion that has been in production since the Moors inhabited the region in the 16th century. What is brandy? While bourbon is distilled from grain, and Scotch is distilled from smoky malted barley, brandy is distilled from fruit, usually white grapes, and is made all over the world. Cognac is brandy made only in the legally defined area of the same name in France.
Spanish brandy is worth considering for its quality and reasonable price. Most is made in the Jerez area near the southern coast framed by the towns of towns of Jerez de la Frontera, El Puerto de Santa Maria and Sanlúcar de Barrameda. The area is justifiably famous for its production of the fortified wine sherry, which gets its name from historical mispronunciation of Jerez.
