I could not agree more about not serving wine brought by a guest if it does not go with the food. In our house we give as much thought to the wine we will serve as the food; it is a serious matter, even if it is dinner for one. The opposite is also true - when I bring wine to someone's house I over-emphasize that it is a gift for them to enjoy later so that they don't feel obligated to open it with dinner.
