Ummmm...let's see -- I have really gotten into good muscats and ports lately. They aren't nearly as challenging as a scotch or gin...for one, they're super sweet. Which is why I drink 'em: as an alternative to dessert. Also, they compliment cheese well.
I've heard they're also great with chocolate, but have yet to try.
As with all things, they must be consumed in moderation, and I truly consider them an indulgence of time as well as enjoyment. It takes about 45 minutes for me to drain one (smallish) glass, and usually only when the guy and I are at a particular cheese-and-chocolate bar (http://www.baileyschocolatebar.com/) we love to kill time at.
Yes, St. Louis is a bit of a Sarlacc pit when it comes to good food, but we have a cheese-and-chocolate bar, and that can't be all bad.
