What are you drinking now?

Got back a couple of months ago from Martninique and brought back a bunch of nice rums including this one:

Clement agicole single cask rhum. Only available at the distillery. Better than some of the finest cognacs IMO.

To hell with the purists: I like what I like...

that's right, the '06 Dom Perignon is a perfect match with pizza...I said it. Snobs like to pair this vintage's delicate "mushroom", "pepper" and "yeasty" undertones with cheese, fresh vegetables, and bread, but I like it with a full-on veggie pizza which has all this and more so to heck with them! It is not IMHO only to be paired with Saint Genix Brioche, Beluga caviar, Gascony foie gras, or Belgian chocolate truffles like some of the other vintages. To me, THIS, is the match made in heaven! Regardless, I'm enjoying it immensely, in a very American way. The other pizza is a mushroom and onion that my wife likes, but isn't as good a pairing for me (I like it with a pure Syrah, especially one from the young Ballard Canyon AVA or an oaky Penfolds RWT if feeling flush).
