Favorite alcohol/food pairing

[falkon]

Recently, I've become quite a fan of peaty scotch paired with extra sharp white cheddar. Also, I've been enjoying brie with anchovies paired with Glenmorangie.

What are your personal favorite drink/snack pairings?

A nice Barbara wine with red grapes and a nice aged cheese like Dubliner...on the same note a Sam Adams Octoberfest with a good sausage and garlic fries suits me just fine.

Beer and sausage does go great! I'll occasionally go for a hot Italian sausage with a nice ale.

Indeed! I've been trying to get into the scotch thing, but the taste just isn't developing with me.

Filet Mignon with Guinness.

A nice mescal with guacamole and fresh corn tortillas makes for a delightful snack.

 

[Stubblefield]

Pizza and a six pack--my idea of a seven course meal.

Seriously, a good pizza and an IPA.

 

[Uncle Erik]

Burgers and beer. Preferably a nice porter, stout or IPA.

Call me a purist, but I really don't like to pair food and whisky. Kind of takes away from the nuances of the spirits.

Having said that, I just returned from Japan. Sake and sashimi go ever so well together, as does Guiness and any kind of pub grub.

a fat steak and a bottle of Kanonkop Pinotage.

Malvasia and roasted almonds are a nice summer snack while reading on a deck chair.

Anything on my plate with Tuborg Green or Bass Ale!

Bourbon and good chocolate, they make bourbon balls for a reason

One of my most favorite pairings though is a good port with nice Belgian milk chocolate mmmmm.

A particular favorite of mine is Margaritas and chicken fajitas. Especially a Margarita made with no mix (or sweet and sour) but simply fresh limes.

i was fortunate to recently pair up a fruity taste-bomb of a california cabernet with some slow-cooked short ribs and potato puree.

that's just good eatin'.

Bourbon and chocolate chip cookies, happened one night when all I had was Bourbon and chocolate chip cookies and I've never looked back.

When I used to drink, without doubt the be pairing was a nice slab of Angus beef, Scotch fillet cut, cooked rare and a bottle of second growth Bordeaux red like Chateau Lascombes.
