Best drink while listening to your rig?

Cpdunn, the 15 Aberlour is very smooth. The Glenmorangies are also quite nice. That's the wonderful thing about single malts: There's always a type to fit your mood, whether it is brooding (heavy peat) or mellow (subtle spices). Of course, wine offers even more variety, like the crisp, light 1997 Wild Horse Malvasia Bianca -- perfect for a summer's afternoon.

Someone asked whether anyone matched their drink to their music. I tend to match each to my mood. More often than not, the right meal, drink and company are more important than the right cable. Hey, maybe that's how I can get off the upgrade merry-go-round -- trade it in for a wine and spirits merry-go-round! At least my friends will understand that one ;-) Cheers!

Ozfly:

I match my drink to my mood, too, but also to the music. Actually, the music sets the mood (or my mood dictates the music), all of which dictates the drink! They're all linked.

I'll look for the Wild Horse. For summer whites, I'm also partial to New Zealand wines such as Nobilo, Nautilus, etc.

Woolong Tea

Vsfang:
I like a little lapsang suchong tea during a cold winter afternoon.

I prefer sipping, or chugging depending on how many friends are over, my favorite two beers.
Maudite, a very strong red ale (8%) made by Unibroue in montreal
-OR-
Trois Pistoles an even stronger (9%) dark Porter, also made by Unibroue
