Best drink while listening to your rig?

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.

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?

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.

Thanks for the primitivo recommendation, Jond!

So, ANOTHER QUESTION FOR THE BOARD:
We might have favorite food/drink pairings, but are there certain appropriate/acceptable combinations musical genre and drink? I mean, would you pair Bob Dylan with a Belgian beer, an typical American one, whiskey...?

That's an easy one...nothing goes better with female vocals than a warm fire and a glass/bottle of medium-to-full bodied red wine, especially on a snowy day like today. Recommended flavors for casual enjoyment: Holly McNarland "Home Is Where My Feet Are" and '00 Penfold's Koonunga Hill Chiraz Cabernet...fire optional if it's warm where you are...Enjoy
