Do you hide the good stuff from company?

Whenever we have a large party, say 40+, over to the house, I buy good wine and beer and spirits. But I hold in reserve, hidden away, a few bottles of something special just for me to drink. My close friends and the guests who care about good wine know to ask me what I'm drinking. I am happy to share with those who truly care what they are drinking, but I'm not leaving the good stuff out for the indiscriminate. Do you keep your own semi-private stash at parties at your house?

What do you hide away? I am partial to Reislngs and Gruners for whites, and dark, inky Syrahs or blends for reds. Nothing worse than opening a bottle of something good, getting distracted by attending to my guests, and finding my dad and brother slurping down my bottle I've been saving for a special occasion.

I think everyone does this to a degree.

I buy shitty cigars just for the guys who see mine and get jealous and want to try it out again. I take off the band and hand it to them. I don't even keep them in my locked humidor; just a big mason jar. They never know the difference. Until they read this post...

I'm not letting my guests drink my single malts or expensive cabs. I'm not stingy when it comes to $20-30/bottle anything though really unless it's a very large crowd at which point I just tell people to bring their own. I will give my really good friends a drink though, but only because there the ones that return the favor.

It's like the old poker saying.
If you look around and can't tell who the sucker is, you're it.

We throw a big party for Spanish Town Mardi Gras. I hide all sorts of stuff.
A few years ago, my wife bought me some decent Scotch for Christmas. I get banged up at Mardi Gras and pull out the bottle to show a friend. I get distracted, next thing I know, a guy I never met before is drinking $65 Scotch right out the bottle. I wasn't even mad, because I was a dumbass

I don't have anything nice enough to hide.

The easy way to do this is buy a couple of wine decanters. Then no one knows.
Seldom do I pull liquor out anymore. Maybe vodka.
I have a friend that puts his Grey Goose in his Taaka bottle and his Taaka in his Grey Goose bottle. Fortunately I'm privy to this information so I just pretend I'm a dumbass when I get shitty comments on my lack of taste in vodkas from someone pouring a full glass of Grey Goose.

Nah, I share with all

Yeah, I keep the good Franzia in my reserve fridge in the garage.

I don't really own liquor worth hiding. In fact, I'd love someone to come drink the spread of bourbon in my decanters because we don't drink liquor and it just sits.
I don't hide my beer (hard to when it's already cold), but I make sure that non-beer nerd friends bring their own case of bud light before they get here. I'm happy to share tastes of the good stuff, but someone who doesn't care about beer isn't coming over and slamming $15 4-packs that I may not have even been able to get here.

For a party? No, you're not getting my best stuff. I won't go cheap on you, but you're not getting top of the line.
If it's just a friend or two who I know will appreciate it? Yeah, I have no problem breaking out the collection.

Sometimes.
I also follow an ancient Chinese saying--
Guests can wait on the food, but food can't wait on the guests.
At Chez Gman your arse better be seated and serving soon as food hits the table. Cause I damn sure am and don't care if you're right in the middle of discussing what you saw on Pinterest.
I'm eating without you.

If I like someone enough to invite them into my house, I like them enough to share whatever I have to drink with them.
