Cpdunn99,
For Italian Primitivo try Anfora Zinfandel. It's from Puglia, labelled as Zin buit's Primitivo and it's made by a hotshot Aussie winemaker named Chris Ringland. Best of all, it's around $9-10 retail. Happy listening and drinking!
Endoit,is Heinz Triomphe special ultra-premium ketchup?
Just kidding, I think you meant Hine, great cognac, I have a rapidly disappearing bottle myself. |
Contrary to Driver and others, I in fact, like a splash of something when doing serious listening.
Lgregoir: you have good taste (and must have a solid bank account)!
How do people manage two hobbies: high-end audio and high-end liquids? |
Single Malt: these days the bottle getting the most exercise is an Aberlour a'bunadh.
Beer: I'll have to second the Belgians, Leffe Blond is good and I'm still partial to the Chimay.
Newest mania: Tres Generationes Anejo tequilla. |
I'm with Hpshps, Jmcgrogan2 & Warrenh on this. No alcohol when I want to do any serious listening, whether it's for critical purposes or just to enjoy. |
rain water and pure grain alcohol. |
electric koolaid.........just kiddin!!! sort of...light em up boys.... |
Poland Spring for this recovering acoholic...14 years ago, it would have been an old cognac. But after the second glass, I wouldn't give a s...a Victrola would do... |

Travicello 2001 Indicazione Geografica Tipica. Italian red wine. I do not normally like these wines but this is outstanding!!! But don't buy any. I don't want the price to go up. |
Well, living in Vermont, I might have a locally brewed Magic Hat, Trout River or Long Trail should the occasion arise, but usually just a good old bud. Great midrange, not to sharp on top, and a bottom end to die for. Kind of like my system in fact.
Peace |

Weller's 12 year old, neat. BTW, everyone else can go fix their make-up. |
Armagnac(visit tireguys rig in the virtual systems- or just click the "System" after my moniker to view the armagnac, which is listed as a tweek w/picture) other then the Armagnac I enjoy small batch bourbon neat and calvidos. I am known, from time to time, to imbibe a martini or two though those days are becoming fewer and fewer. |

Ventana wines. They are located right near my house. My wife and I belong to their wine club. All of their wines are excellent. http://www.ventanaestates.com/Check them out if you love fine wines. KF |
Jond: you have any particular recommendations for, say, a good Italian primitivo? |
Cognac/Armagnac: Various, I have a large collection.
Beer: Microbrews-Slipknot1,I love Magic Hat #9 but it's hard to find in DC
Wine: Leftover Samples, I'm a wine rep. Prefer Italian and French. |
True Irish Coffee along with a mellow note........ |
MILK??!! Actually, I have to drink some to coat my stomach sometimes...for medicinal purposes only!
Slipknot: tell me more about this beer! Great taste, though. The Macallan is great. I particularly like the 15yr. And your champagne recommendation is spot on. That one is better that Dom Perignon and is 1/3 the price (IMO).
Danlevy: Ummm....why am I not surprised?! |
|
Hmmm... an earthy, deep red, perhaps a Bandol or Vayqueres. Maybe a sip of Lagavulin or Dalwhinnie scotch. |
|
Just beer: Samual Smith's famous Taddy Porter, Young's Black Chocolate Stout |
Bombay Sapphire and tonic. If I'm celebrating something I'll pour myself a glass of Johnny Walker Gold Label.
