How to Drink Better: On balance, I think this is probably not the best idea

I don’t usually serve a wine that someone has brought unless I think the guest really wants to share a special bottle with me

If you do want to bring wine match it to the occasion. For a big party bring an inexpensive, but not too inexpensive, bottle of easy-drinking wine. For a smaller, more intimate gathering, something a little bit better is called for. Either way, drop into a good local wine shop, ask for advice, and maybe a little story to accompany it.
