Cocktail of choice when listening to fav music?

Anything you're buying!

I'm a bit of a low browe here (what's new). In the winter I like Becks. In the summer, with the heat, I tend to go to a beer closer to water (anything major label domestic (US)). An aversion to hard stuff as I think I lost too many close to me to alcoholism.

I have a friend who is trying to edjamacate me re wine. You can lead a horse to water......

Cheers,

Magic Hat Blind Faith, or, Magic Hat Humble Patience. Tasty microbrews from an outfit in Burlington, Vermont.

Frog's Leap Cabernet.

Clueless, old chap -- edjamacate? That sounds tough ;) Why not just drink the wine? In vino veritas (et alia). Clink!

I thought edjamacted individuals drank Duff.

T-bone, I have found that Grant Burge makes a very nice Shiraz. The Barossa Valley is the place where you want to get your Shiraz from. The standard Grant Burge is only about $21/bottle and is quite good. Some of his special vintages like the Meshak are excellent. Also, the Peter Phelps Insignia is an awesome Shiraz, but almost $100 per bottle. Worth it though. I like the Shiraz, and when we're not sampling the expensive Bordeaux, the Shiraz is quite commonly found on the table. The mid 90's vintages are excellent. Recommend the 96.
