[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Related question: why don't many of you have other options in the house other than wine/beef, coffee/tea and water?  Why don't you drink other types of beverages?  Yes they're sugary and not healthy but how is this different than keeping cookies/pastries/cupcakes/ice cream in the house?[/quote]

But I don’t keep cookies, pastries, etc. either. I might buy or bake a pastry/bread if I’m hosting brunch but I otherwise do not have this stuff in my house. If I’m hosting pizza night I’ll buy some soda, but no one in my house drinks it, so if there are leftovers, i might have one random old Coke around at some point in the future, but that would be it.

I had no idea that anyone would ever expect to be served soda at one of my formal dinner parties. I put together elaborate wine and food pairings as I collect wine and really enjoy everything about it, so feel free to decline my invite since the whole point is to pair interesting and nice wines with the food.

I would hope gathering with good friends would be.up there with making sure you have the right pairing...[/quote]
