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!

That's a really excellent list, ByeGolly! I might have included "The Umbrellas of Cherbourg" on my very brief list, if I had thought of it at the time.

Luis Bunuel is probably worthy of mention as well. If you've never seen it, check out "Nazarin" when you get a chance -- one of his lesser known works, but in my opinion his best.

"Luis Bunuel is probably worthy of mention as well."

I've seen most of Bunuel's films - and that's well before Netflix launched.

Noticed how many go on & on about Blu-Ray (and their home theater setups). I'll stay focused on content of film over new technologies in film/film playback every time. Kinda like audio where the music matters more to me than the equipment I play it on (C:

"Waking up is the single "Greatest" thing IMHO that is."

..unless you're waking up in an ICU bed with a dozen tubes in you, a pool of urine between your back and the plastic mattress cover and pain every f-ing where.

..unless it's after a serious binge accompanied with a headache like a cluster migraine with someone jack hammering in the room next to you.

In these (and other) cases, not waking up is the single greatest thing that is.

Six days spent on the Black Sea coast near Crimea Ukraine. It's a place and time of my life that I regularly enjoy only if in memory, so in a sense it became a part of me.
