are we also coffee connoisseurs? Or wine enthusiasts?

Oh Geeze!! ☹

Gongfu cha. (Kungfu tea - the Chinese art of tea drinking).

Many of our audio get togethers turned into tea ceremony marathons over the past 20 years... ;) Been infected by a fellow audiophile...  It's absolutely beautiful. I have a modest collection of clay tea pots, about 10 or so. My tea Sifu has an entire wall covered with claypots.... and these are small to tiny pots... each pot dedicated to a single tea. Gongu cha is way stronger than espresso, not for the faint of heart. Cheers! ; 

Well I can't drink regular coffee anymore. Decaf only. But I do enjoy wine. Does anyone think the coffee could be improved by switching out the power cable to the Nespresso? Please, I couldn't resist a joke....

Grislybutter: You are thinking of the Croatian wine master Mike Grgich. He did a huge amount of work (uncredited) putting California wines where they are today.

Croatian reds, b.t.w., can be astonishingly good.

I am particular about coffee--enough to grind the beans of carefully chosen brands.

I am definitely a wine connoisseur, preferring California wines and being highly selective about them.

But I don't rely on either of these for listening to music, particularly.  On the other hand, cannabis can certainly elevate musical enjoyment, so I sometimes partake of that for a listening session.
