Red wine for red meat. White wine for most everything else. The blush wine (Zinfandel's) are more a social thing than any real table wine (meaning eat it with dinner). Though the Zinfandel's go well with fish.

Kendall-Jackson Chardonnay (white) and Kendall-Jackson Cabernet Sauvignon (red) are my two choices. Each of us will have different opinions, likes and dislikes so take these suggestions as my opinions only. They aren't expensive (less than $20/bottle usually).

White wine is best chilled. Red wine is best at room temperature (dont leave it in the sunlight!).

After dinner, if you want to wow them, consider a bottle of Porto. Grahams makes the best in my opinion. Any of them are good, however the Tawney's have the least amount of "alcoholic bite" to them. Its a fortified wine made with brandy, that is very sweet. Porto however is more expensive than table wines (like the Kendall-Jackson above).

Good luck and have fun!
