" Never mind the lobster. Who orders the lobster on a first date, anyway? Let&amp;#x27;s talk wine. Last night, I went to dinner with my friend Kate, her brother Brian, and a new girl he is seeing. We were at a poncy restaurant and it was a prix fixe menu, so we all ate the same thing. The four of us agreed to drink a bottle of red&amp;amp;#133;I had the wine list in front of me and suggested the one bottle of wine that was like, under $50. Brian&amp;amp;#8217;s girlfriend, who isn&amp;amp;#8217;t a big drinker, suggested a $74 bottle of wine. She recognized the name. I felt like she was our guest since she was new to us and I wanted her to feel welcome. So I went with that choice without like, shouting out the price to everyone. When my friend Kate saw the bill, she was semi-livid. To say the least, the girlfriend lost points in her eyes. But it&amp;amp;#8217;s so awkward doing group ordering. I usually pick the color first, then decide on the sweet/dry factor, and then go for pretty much the cheapest. I suppose if I were just meeting a guy&amp;amp;#8217;s family and friends&amp;amp;#8212;or if I were on a date&amp;amp;#8212;I wouldn&amp;amp;#8217;t have suggested that bottle, especially if I wasn&amp;amp;#8217;t going to pay. Anyway, water under the bridge. But it&amp;amp;#8217;s awkward, isn&amp;amp;#8217;t it? How do you choose wine? What do you do? What would you have done in that situation?
