It's an informal setting with no meal being served. I'm the only man among four other women and I'm sure they are planning on drinking wine. I want to show up with a bottle without their knowlege what type of wine should I bring???

Usually a good white is what I have found to be best with most women. If 5 people are going to be drinking you will need two bottles or the wine will be gone to fast. I would suggest a Reisling or a Pinot Grisio any where in the $11 to $18 range will usually net you some decent wines and the brand doesn't really matter unless the women are "wine snobs". Most liquer stores and wine shops will have a person that can help you decide or give you further advice. Good luck.

People prefer white, or red. Unless it is a special occasion, champagne is an overkilling...
As you will be 6, I would take along 2 bottles: a decent Chardonnay and a Merlot. A liquor store should provide with a decent choice, but in any supermarket with a wine section you will find wines that are perfectly OK. Jackson Estates, Fetzer... are all good choices. If you want something a bit special, choose one from Sonoma or Napa, rather than a generic "from california", the more local you get the better garantees on quality you have (and the more expensive, alas).
If there is really no food, do bring along some crackers and cheese. drinking on an empty stomach can make sick even the more resistant.

If you are the only straight man with four women, you should bring SIX bottles of good California Pinot Noir and a camera. Assuming you are not a wimp (translation= a friend) and these chicks are not married, the night will navigate itself.
By the way, the camera is to entice competition. Girls, especially with a liter of wine in them, love to show that they are "the fairest of them all." And if X ,Y, and Z are taller, but W is bustier, W might just let them loose to trump the rest.
Use your imagination.

wow, one man among four women.., boy you gonna have some fun... he he
anyway, if no meal being served.., why dont you try to add a meal.., maybe snacks like chees crakers or maybe cheese platter..., because wine is very good serve with cheese as a snack, i give you an example...
if you planning to bring a white wine, try to also bring brie cheese or danish blue,
if you planning to bring the red, edam cheese or gorgonzolla would be nice.
