depends on the situation and time of year. except in summer, i am also a big fan of single malts. islays in particular. some of them have been featured in lovely images above.
red wines from burgundy. malbecs when they're like red wines from burgundy.
beer:
my staple beverage here is ipswich ale and cape ann brewery's navigator.
when i can find them on tap, though, my favorites are trappist ales.
and la duchesse de bourgogne.
and st bernadus abt 12
and la chouffe
all belgians.
o yeah, and red stripe. summer beer. totally seasonal. yes yes.
a perfect makers mark manhattan is a fine fine thing (bitter as opposed to sweet vermouth.)
and a well-made martini.
and sometimes a bombay and perrier.
but these not so often any more.
o and la veuve cliquot champagne. yum.
