what would be best to use if I have to make a dish using booze?
My question is if I am making a dish using booze, what would be best to use wine, beer or bourbon , anything else etc.. and should it be a savory dish or dessert?

If you're able to do the assembly on site these are a good option. They're nicely boozy and pretty darn tasty (full disclosure, it's my recipe.) http://www.food52.com/recipes/12395_state_fair_cream_puffs

White wine, dessert wine, brandy, bourbon.. As I am not sure, as in I don't really cook a lot using wines or alcohol.. I am thinking of making either pudding, clafouti or any type of cupcakes using champagne..Right lot of ideas are skimming in my mind..Thanks
Otherwise, I don't think there's a "best", the important thing is that the flavors in the dish complement each other.
I found something -- Tempeh Bourguignon, in Moosewood Restaurant Cooking for Health, with red wine. Message me if you want details. I tend to think in parallels -- if Beef Bourguignon is good, how can I adapt the principle for the taste and flair?
One of my favorite dishes is Beurre Blanc (White Butter Sauce) over sautéed fish -- simple, elegant, easy to prepare.
Beef Bourguignon and Coq au vin are two other classic dishes with subtle wine components.
And Crêpes Suzette would make a fine finish to any meal, boozy or not.
