For me (at the moment; subject to change in mood): Single malt: Lagavulin Beer: Westmalle Trippel Wine: geessh... Caymus Cab? Nautilus Savignon Blanc (NZ)
A friend and I just went through 2 bottles of Smoking Loon Cabernet tonight while breaking in the new Walker Precision Motor Drive. I am amazed at the quality and drinkability of this inexpensive California red.
My wife and I usually go with the Six Grapes. It's nothing terribly exotic, but it's definitely one of the better "affordable" ports I've tasted. As for music, since I'm not a classical buff, I'd have to go with something pop/rock-ish and mellow--maybe Jackson Browne. Good winter music, for when the leaves are off the trees and the sky is gray.
