You have only a few bottles: several medium quality and one very fine vintage bottle. At a small party with friends, do you serve the finest wine first or last.

ALWAYS FIRST. No one knows the difference after a few drinks… heheheh

Are you also serving food? If so, serve the fine wine with the course that it complements best. If not perhaps you would consider only serving the fine wine to a smaller group.

give them the good stuff first…(unless the cheap tastes better and just tell them their drinking the good stuff)

hi uytreddgg! i love entertaining, and a fine bottle with friends is fantastic! u should start with the nice bottle. howevr, if ur serving dinner that calls for the nice bottle, consider serving cocktails first, and saving the nice bottle for dinner.
another idea is to do a wine tasting if u have a few bottles – slip the bottles into numbered brown bags and see if ur guests can guess which is the nice one!
have fun!
xo,
Betty

More people will already be toast, and thus, more of the good stuff for you hahahaha

I would begin with the vintage bottle. It lends great for an opening toast and truth be told your taste buds start to numb after two or three glasses.
