Tres bien, Agonanon!

For Port lovers, an evening with a good bottle, good friend(s), good chamber music or jazz, nothing much better than some 1994 LBV (Osborne is a damn good deal). Have some 2000 vintage ports now cellaring.
Scotch: Aberlour Sherry Wood Finish 15 yr
Wine: Audobon Cellars 1999 Amador County Zinfandel (it was less than $8 a bottle on sale by the case and thus allows me to buy even more audiophile stuff)
Wine: Rosemount Estate Roxburgh Chardonnay 1996
Beer: Almost anything dark (e.g., Carolina Brown)
Cpdunn99,
Any good Sauternes will benefit from about 10 years of bottle age. Sugar and alcohol combine to make them relatively indestructable.
Jond & Cpdunn99,

I'm fortunate, in more ways than one, to be married to a woman whose father (and grandfather) is a wine collector. My father-in-law's cellar, which was augmented by the grandfather's upon the latter's passing, includes a few bottles of Chateau d'Yquem (which is the Chatour Latour of Sauternes) from the late forties and fifties. Hoping I may be lucky enough to sample one day!!!

The traditional (French) accompaniment to Sauternes is the blue cheese called Roquefort (although I personally prefer Stilton) or foie gras (the liver of a goose that has been force-fed until it becomes bloated). The Sauternes/foie gras combo is one of the great mergers in gastronomy.
