just take anything that is good,,,,u might even get the right type of wine to go with the food they served that night.
Most of the time, the host would have already taken care of what wine to serve.
What u brought that night, will be reserved for future party. So ,,,if u like seafood,,,choose a good wine that goes with it...the next time u attend a party hosted by the same host,,,chances are they'll serve seafood.
Cheers!!!!

etiquette wise kblair is correct. Unless yo u were specifically asked to bring wine for the dinner...the wine is considered a gift to the host and does not need to be consumed unless they want to. Most people hosting dinner parties will have a preset menu and that may or may not match with wine that is brought. that being said couple options for you:
sparkling wine. great as an opening course or as an aperitif after dinner. try a blanc de blancs or a blanc de noirs.i love cuvee m by mumm napa.
white wine I would do a sauvignon blanc, viognier or pinot gris. they are very food friendly with a wide variety of food.
red I would have to go for a shiraz, pinot noir or a sangiovese. again, all very food friendly with anything from pizza, bbq, filet mignon.

Bring a bottle of riesling or chardonnay for a white wine and a Merlot or pinot noir for a red wine so that everyone at the dinner party can choose which wine they want.

relies upon on how a lot of human beings there are. between 8-12 you will possibly have canapes first (posh finger meals) then an elementary starter, like French Onion Soup, Bruschetta, or Spring Rolls (relies upon on what the suited course is). Then, if it extremely is English, a fish course, then a significant course. the beef could be counted on the season (lamb in Spring, hen in summer, venison in fall, goose in wintry climate). The area dish could be seasonal besides. Then desolate tract (lower back, seasonal) clean ice cream with a berry compote for summer, crumple for fall/wintry climate. If it have been a suited dinner social gathering for 8 human beings right this moment i might serve: Canapes - mini bruschetta, crackers with anchovies, man or woman romaine lettuce leaves with parmesan, Francis Bacon & ceasar dressing interior. Starter - Tomato & basil soup significant course - Lamb Chops cooked with rosemary over overwhelmed new potatoes desolate tract - Limoncello Sorbet with clean blackberry compote. (notice the Italian topic - if it replaced into french i might in all probability serve grilled goats cheese as a starter and alter some different issues) And no rely if it particularly is under 8, you will possibly in all probability pass the canapes, greater desirable than 12 in all probability have merely canapes or a buffet.

This is rarely observed, but the custom for dinner parties is that a bottle of wine is a gift for the host, intended for their consumption at a later date.
If it happens to be a good match for the dinner, the host may serve it that evening.
So take your favorite, or your hosts favorite, or maybe something you think she'd like to try. And let her know you brought it for her, and not for dinner tonight.

I think I'd go with either a Merlot or a Pinot Noir:
Merlot is softer tasting than Cabernet Sauvignon due to having less tannins. It is a smooth, dry red wine. Merlot is often described as having the flavors of boysenberry, black cherry, herbs, and mocha. Merlot is best with poultry and grilled meats, but these types of wines actually goes well with most foods.
Pinot Noir is a smooth silky red wine that is extremely fruity. It is characterized with aromas and flavors of black cherry or rose petals along with hints of spiciness or herbal qualities. Pinot Noirs are enjoyed for their soft velvety texture. High in alcohol, they are full bodied but not heavy. This type of wine is best served with grilled salmon, roast beef, lamb, duck, and mushrooms.

I always bring a Rose wine in these situations. Jacobs Creek have just brought out a lovely one - think it's called Three Vines, or something like that !

A nice Chardonnay. My two favorites are Yellow Tail and Little Penguin. They go with just about anything.
