Cocktail of choice when listening to fav music?

Magic Hat Blind Faith, or, Magic Hat Humble Patience. Tasty microbrews from an outfit in Burlington, Vermont.

Frog's Leap Cabernet.

Clueless, old chap -- edjamacate? That sounds tough ;) Why not just drink the wine? In vino veritas (et alia). Clink!

I thought edjamacted individuals drank Duff.

T-bone, I have found that Grant Burge makes a very nice Shiraz. The Barossa Valley is the place where you want to get your Shiraz from. The standard Grant Burge is only about $21/bottle and is quite good. Some of his special vintages like the Meshak are excellent. Also, the Peter Phelps Insignia is an awesome Shiraz, but almost $100 per bottle. Worth it though. I like the Shiraz, and when we're not sampling the expensive Bordeaux, the Shiraz is quite commonly found on the table. The mid 90's vintages are excellent. Recommend the 96.

Also, the update on the 61 La Conseillante was terrific. Even better than I had expected. Really held up well, and no signs of going over the hill. I'd say it has a good 15 years left. Still looking for the 61 Ch. Latour a Pomerol that Parker says is the wine he would choose, if he could only drink one wine for the rest of his life. Must try that one before I die. As well as the 45 Lafitte.
