Re: How's this for an invitation

If invited to a meal provided entirely by the host, normal practice
here is for guests to bring a bottle of their own choosing. For the host
to tell a guest which wine to bring, would be viewed as unbelievably
crass.

I have a friend who is into wine in a big way. It is common for him to ask
what we are serving and how we are cooking it, because he will be bringing
some very good wine to pair with it. When we go there I will take some
nice wines, usually something from one of the local wineries and one of
those which he had called to recommend..... and no.. he did not recommend
them for that occasions. He regularly calls to let me know about some of
the exceptional local wines that I should stock up on.
