I'm sure you know exactly which event got me on this train of thought (and yes, I will see you tonight).

Bill Spohn wrote:I am generally pretty generous when it comes to hauling bottles out of the cellar. That comes from my inherent good nature (and maybe also having far too much wine). But there are some bottles that are either rare, expensive, or especially significant that I am reluctant to bring out unless a couple of criteria are met. First, the group must be appreciative and interested in wine. Second, the group cannot exceed a certain size..

Jon Peterson wrote:Bill - I like your criteria and have just adopted them. Here's why: I recently took four bottles of nice wine ($300+ worth)to a friends house for dinner. It was to be Liz and me, the couple and another couple. I was told everyone was 'into' wine, yet I was the only person who brought some. All I'll say is that that other couple was not into wine - I should have just brought some Yellow Tail.

Also, I carry them in a soft-sided six-pack zipper-closed wine case which I stash near the door where the shoes and purses go, and may go fish more or better wines out of if the evening warrants it or leave alone and take home with me if that's the better thing to do
