The invitation read: We prepare all the accessory goodies as well as a basic selection of wine and cheese. You bring one bottle of wine and one piece of cheese (not necessarily Brie). We will write the name of each “bringer” on each bottle, which might serve as a conversation starter. Even though a Chateau d’Yquem ’72 might make for great conversations, we rather suggest that you bring something in a lower price range but which might be unique or have a special significance for you.
It sounded like a good idea to me, so Robert and I rounded up a bottle of chianti from Italy we had been saving and got some manchego cheese and headed off. It was snowy last night, so we had a lovely walk there. The party was hosted by Dita and Daniel, a Czech and a Swede. Our fellow party guests were a worldly mix as well, mostly Swedes, with Americans, Italians and even a couple from Siberia there too. The wine was just as varied, mostly from Italy, but also Australia, South Africa, Germany, France, Hungary and Lebanon. It was a perfect combination for a party on a chilly winter night.

Sounds very sophisticated and fun. 🙂
I love parties like that – although I tend to find that I am the one clutching a large bunch of grapes and eating all the celery!
My kind of night!! Wine & cheese what else can a person ask for !!!
Kylie, Jane and antropologa, I think you all need to stage your own wine and cheese nights in your different parts of the world!
