		<description>Elle,

I agree.  I never brought a bottle of wine to a friends house until I arrived in Florence.  I find it is a sign of thanks, like you said.  Thanks for commenting!

a presto,
Katie :)</description>

		<description>&quot;Always when invited to a party bring a bottle of wine as a sign of thanks.&quot;

This should really be picked up in North America more often. I was raised in Canada by Italian parents and taught this is the right way to do things yet on the other hand have never had a friend bring anything to my place for dinner. A dessert, flowers for the table or a bottle of wine are a much appreciated way of saying &quot; thanx for feeding me!&quot;</description>
