Wine with Thanksgiving

[randery]

Thanks wonders, I'll look for that riesling and give it a go. Hottie. I don't think its ever an insult not to serve the gift wine, although I served a Greg Norman Cab brought by friends to a dinner we prepared for them. On the other hand our most recent 2000 Sutters Home gift acquisition sits hard by the range, where we use it for cooking. I wouldn't want to hurt someone's feelings by giving the wine back. But I do not feel obligated to serve it. I suppose one could say that a gift of some unidimensional swill or supermarket plonk (although wine is not sold in grocery stores here in CT)is an insult in itself. But that posture presumes the giver has some basic knowledge of wine and its quality. Interesting dilemma.
