Italians and wine… question for today!?
Today I am going to a bbq at my best friends house. His parents only recently started accepting the fact that we’re in love & going to stay together & we’ve been together almost a year. (I am divorced & because of their culture, thats taboo. even though he’s divorced too, it doesnt help me at all. He also has 2 young daughters that love me & his parents think I am going to take them and their son away & so they will never see them again). Anyway, they are from Italy, like actually all born & raised there & I decided I would bring a bottle of his fathers favorite Pino Grigio, Santa Margherita. I want to try and make a good impression, and yes, suck up a bit, and I bought a bottle of Banfi Prosecco also. For any of you who know, should I take the Prosecco, or not? Would it be inappropriate for today, or couldn’t they just save it for another time? Whats the best way to get the parents to say, "I guess she’s not so bad, at least she does not show up empty handed all the time." Is it too much?
