Something for After Christmas Dinner

[hotwine]

A couple of alternatives to cognac, in addition to Port:
- A nice Sauternes to accompany dessert, something like Ch. de Suduiraut, at about $75.
- Coffee with Cointreau. This has been my preferred after-dinner drink for years. Simply toss an ounce of Cointreau into a standard cup of coffee (without cream or sugar).

Cognac would make me want to light up a fine cigar, which would start WW III all over again in my household on the issue of smoking (I quit 10 years ago, and still miss it "after" things..... after dinner, after a shower, after waking in the morning, after ..... whatever.)
