In today’s society, it often feels strange to spend time alone with the sole purpose of dedicating a moment of the day to ourselves. However, focusing on an activity such as reading, watching a movie, writing, or pursuing any hobby we may have is very enriching and offers benefits such as refreshing the mind, relaxing, and combating stress, among others.
At Cardenal Mendoza, we are aware of this, which is why we’re suggesting some ideas you can incorporate into your daily life for your personal enjoyment, paired with the brandy from our collection that best suits the activity you’ll be doing.
Answer this question: When was the last time you sat down quietly to read a book or magazine that interested you without anything or anyone interrupting you? It’s been a while, hasn’t it? Well, that moment has arrived. It’s time to get back to those little habits that make you so happy.
Find one of those titles on your to-read list, choose a quiet place where you can relax, and begin to discover the story through its words. For this, our best 'pairing' is Cardenal Mendoza 'Carta Real,' which, as you can see here, is a 25-year-old brandy backed by numerous international awards. A brandy that keeps you company and enhances those already special moments when we seek to be alone with ourselves and refresh our minds with new ideas.
On the other hand, we also suggest watching one of those films with a great story behind it and letting yourself be inspired by its characters. And to rise to the occasion of all those conversations and events awaiting you, what better recommendation than Cardenal Mendoza 'Clásico'. Our youngest brandy. A companion for adventures at the highest level that, whether enjoyed on its own, served on the rocks, or mixed, will surprise you.
Finally, if you’re someone who prefers to write about those adventures rather than just watch them, Cardenal Mendoza ‘Non Plus Ultra’ is undoubtedly the one for you. 50 years of aging in a brandy that has risen through the ranks to become our crown jewel and one of Spain’s most recognizable brandies.
Writing requires concentration, organization, and a great deal of inspiration to craft all those conversations and plans you have in store for your characters, and Cardenal Mendoza 'Non Plus Ultra' is your faithful ally. While it doesn’t have to be a novel or a story, you might enjoy writing in your blog or personal journal.
In any case, you’re dedicating time to doing that activity you love so much, and that’s something you’ll thank yourself for in terms of stress reduction, personal satisfaction, and/or mental refreshment. And of course, a special occasion calls for a drink that’s up to the task.
So, at Cardenal Mendoza, we encourage you to reconnect with what truly matters to you, to rediscover those hobbies you set aside, and at the same time, to enjoy the Cardenal Mendoza brandy that you like best and that suits you best.
