Best things 'in life'

I thought this would be interesting, I just came across a thread that asks to list the best things of your own hometown and the opening post listed the best things that came from Philidelphia.
Well this is a little different. Since audiophiles tend to be more analytical and observant than non-audiophiles I thought alot can be learned from each other if we list the things we have come to appreciate in our life.
I will start with a few things that I happen to appreciate greatly!
Beer: (what better place to start)
...... Belgian is the country to choose for beer with charecter and layers of flavors and hints of fruit and herbs or cheese. But the very best of the best of the best as in not only in the best beer of the world but more like as in all food is: duchese de Bourgogne, just amazing!!!
Food, the best dish ever: Fish Taco, in New Canaan Connection at Rosie's. Everything they make is awesome!
Champagne: Vueve Clicquot, prior to this one I never ever liked champagne, but this one I love, not expensive only $40 +-
Cheese: La tur, great with grapes,alot of flavors in there
Best picture with Peter Sellers: After The Fox

Thanks for contributing in advance!

I considered that at one time. Not an easy task to market hot sauces.

Anyway, this isn't intended as an advertisement, but everyone loves the sauce...and it's excellent on rice, ham, in chili, and many other foods in addition to chicken wings.

Certainly one of the "best things in life" when it's served up for the gang.

Well I too have something to speak of in terms of culinary talent, maybe not as complicated as hot sauce(never attempted to make it), but I do make a killer pizza. If anyone here wants to attempt to make what my friends consider the best pizza, the recipes can be found in a book called The Pizza book by Evelyn Slomon. http://www.amazon.ca/Pizza-Book-Evelyne-Slomon/dp/081291113X
Mind as well indulge in the dough that you can make at home. Sorry but I couldn't help myself.

Well here is a big surprise, in an audio forum, music has been the one constant in my life since grammer school days. Instruments, audio equipment and hobby related interests, women, sports, cars, cameras, booze etc have all come and gone, often in a cycle, but apart from 'family' nothing else has, and continues to, hold my attention and is as rewarding as music. Well, I do enjoy a good book too I guess. Hog in heaven = reading a good book with some appropriate music. :-)
