Wine List - What Wine to Serve with Dinner?

For most of us with young families the only wine we get at dinner is something along the lines of "Why do we have to eat peas?" The words are always exaggerated and end with a hint of a breathy sigh. But, hang in there - the day will come when you can sit down to a peaceful dinner complete with a nice bottle of wine. But, what wine is correct?

Our worry is that when that day finally dawns, we will not have a clue as to what wine goes with what dish. So we did a little research and compiled the following list. Hope it helps you select the perfect wine to complement that perfect dinner!
