Bringing something for a dinner party
Thinking of bringing some wine. Can anyone recommend some suitable brands that are of a decent stature? Or what you might bring for eg.

Who's eg?
Any wine will do. Do what most Canadians do, which is hand over a very mediocre bottle of wine and then drink my London Pride all night.

Re: Bringing something for a dinner party
This is an interesting one for me. We learned a few years ago that something brought to a dinner party is ice cream. But Haagen Daas is $7.49 a tub and one tub isn't enough, but to bring 2 tubs is expensive. That's why we started producing a 946 ml family size for only 1 1/2 times the price. We should have taken wine like everyone else. It would have been a bugger sight cheaper!!!

The gewurz is a favourite but they make very good chardonnay as well.

Is ice cream that common as a dinner party item, the fact that it melts seems to make it a slightly less practical choice.

Re: Bringing something for a dinner party
Dinner? Um, no... no, it wasn't like, an organised dinner party, we'd just sat down to eat, and Gord and Brianna just happened to be passing, and luckily we had enough food, and then - you couldn't make this up - Tyler and Shanda just popped in to drop something off, so they stayed, luckily we had enough food, and then - you won't believe this - Bryce and Meaghaghghynn phoned to see what we were doing so we told them hey just come round, luckily we had enough food... no, it wasn't a dinner party, really, of course you'd have been invited if it was a dinner party...

Re: Bringing something for a dinner party
946ml is a standard sized tub. I believe it equates to 32oz US. I agree, bloody stupid idea bringing ice cream to a dinner party - but there you are! We live in mysterious times.....
