Ok we got invited to the neighbors house for a little holiday party they are having tonight. We've only met them a few times, and they are very nice people it seems. Question: Do we need to bring something to this shin dig?
^ ^ Hmmmmm.... Im thinking (and this is somewhat of an assumption) that they may be the type of family that doesn't drink.
Well, you can always use the wine for cooking or give it away as gift later. That's what my parents does since they do not drink.
This is the perfect opportunity to RE-GIFT. For stuff like this, I always take something like a fruit basket/fruitcake/loaf of bread etc. that I inevitably get every year from someone at work.
I would ask. Some people have non-alcoholic parties, so showing up with some wine would be pointless.
I'd take a bottle of wine, your choice... a nice Pinot would be good. I never brought anything to YOUR house, and you welcomed me, you liar...
Your presence was enough senor.....hey I sent a message with my new email address and you didt respond....joto.
if you didn't learn this in boarding school, you should've learned this in your fraternity. must be new row.
ELAINE: Maybe we should stop off on the way and get a bottle of wine or something. GEORGE: What for? ELAINE: These people invited us for dinner. We have to bring something. GEORGE: Why? ELAINE: Because it's rude, otherwise. GEORGE: You mean just going there because I'm invited, that's rude? ELAINE: Yeah. GEORGE: So you're telling me instead of being happy to see me they're going to be upset because I didn't bring anything. You see what I'm saying? JERRY: The fabric of society is very complex George. GEORGE: I don't even drink wine. I drink Pepsi. ELAINE: You can't bring Pepsi. GEORGE: Why not? ELAINE: Because we're adults? GEORGE: You telling me that wine is better than Pepsi? Huh, no way wine is better than Pepsi. JERRY: I'm telling you George, I don't think we want to walk in there and put a big plastic jug of Pepsi on the table. George: I just don't like the ideas that every time there is a dinner invitation there's this annoying little chore that goes along with it. JERRY: You know, you're getting to be an annoying little chore yourself.
