[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I serve my wine and I save the crappy bottles for neighborhood happy hours or nights when I'm too hammered to care that I'm drinking yellowtail late night.[/quote] This, exactly. My understanding of a hostess gift is that it's for the hosts to enjoy at a later date not to feel obligated to share with guests on the spot.[/quote] +1. If it's a large crowd, I leave these bottles out with the others I might open during the course of an evening. We usually throw fairly casual parties so our friends feel comfortable opening a bottle when needed. As for why someone might bring Charles Shaw or Yellowtail, they are recognizable names. For folks who don't know much about wine and want to bring some as a hostess gift, they'll likely tend to bring something with a familiar name. They might not remember whether they heard the name in a good context or bad. [/quote]
