When you've been invited to someone's home for dinner,
especially The Wine Snob's (T.W.S), it's best to be simple in your
selection. As a respectful guest, you want to provide a wine that can
be served only with hors d'oeuvres. You don't want to presume to
preempt your host's choice of wine during the meal, although be
prepared for T.W.S. to do this when he's invited to your place. (In
fact, I have yet to be invited to a dinner when I did not bring enough
wine to cover the entire meal. Think I'm rude? Too bad. Next time don't
invite me.)
