An alcohol conundrum?
Posted by Jess in
Day to Day
Here's something to ponder...these are the silly things I wonder about on a regular basis.
When going to dinner party, it's normal and considered good practice to bring beer, or a bottle of wine, or both. So when the host asks you what you want to drink, here's the thing.
Do you go for the alcohol that the host already has, or do you open what you brought?
The first suggests that you don't want what you brought*. So does that show that you think you didn't bring anything good? The second suggests that you are rejecting what the host has provided, and do you plan on doing the same thing for dinner?
Kind of silly, really, but I've wondered, nonetheless. :-)
*Smoking Loon 2001 Merlot (California) is the best wine I've ever had for under $10, btw. And a beautiful bottle also, if you like that sort of thing.

A new bottle of wine to try *and* an answer to my question. Seems like a good morning to me so far!
Hey, Jess... Mind if I use this question for my column at http://www.hatchmagazine.com at some point?
I will certainly let you know when it appears...
