Dear Amy: "I know I'm Right" was miffed when he brought fine wine to a dinner party and the wine wasn't served with dinner.

I disagree with your response and think the hostess' action was in poor taste. The hostess "scooped" the fine wine and in return, served him her cheap swill. This is one of the oldest tricks in the book and the hostess should be ashamed of herself.

A host should always offer to serve the food or wine that has been brought by the guest.

I bring my good wine to the party and leave it in the car. If fine wine is being poured by the hostess, I will return to the car and bring in my wine to share saying I forgot to bring it in.

If swill is being served, I excuse myself. I have a wine opener in my car and fill my glass with my own stash, then return to the party.

I'm guessing she also rides with church beers.

Besides wine snootery...did the concept of open container laws miss the writer?

I'm sure the officer would understand given the crime of serving subpar wine.
