For an inexpensive red wine (I bought it for the meatball recipe, and since it was open, had it out with the beverages during the open house), Corbett Canyon Cabernet Sauvignon is pretty good. It was the most popular wine there!
Move the kitchen paper recycling container (which looks like -- because it is -- a small trash can with a hinged lid) out of the kitchen before the party. People think it is for used paper plates, etc. Since the "real" trash can is under the sink and people keep asking where it is, consider getting *another* small, covered, cheap container. In fact, get two, and label one "plastic ware" if I'm going to use it. (Everything I'd prepared was finger or toothpick food, but someone brought pie, so I put out forks and meant to collect them.)
