Best drink while listening to your rig?

Mghcanuck,
I hope for your sake you get to taste some of those bottles, Y'quem is about as good as it gets. I personally find foie gras and Sauternes to be just a little too rich for my tastes but I know many people like it. I prefer salty with sweet, hence the bleus.

I had some Chateau d'Yquem from my father's cellar a few years ago. He bought some cases back in the 70s (can't remember what vintage). Wow!!!!

I've had other Aberlour, but not the sherry cask one. I'll have to give it a try. Glenmorangie seems to have all kinds of casked malts now (sherry, port, etc.). Haven't tried them, tho'

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.
