I've got kitchen duty tonight...

The beautiful wife has had a lot of busy days with her work (designer) and the holidays, so tonight I'm treating her to a home cooked meal. I'm making Stuffed Shells and a nice salad... maybe a few stuffed mushrooms as well, too much? I'd like to get a nice bottle of wine to go with it... I'm kinda/sorta thinking Pinot Grigio, but I know so little about wine pairing... any suggestions? She likes light, fruity, smooth wines.

Though I'm not a wine expert, I do like a glass occasionally and when I have difficulty picking a wine for my meal, I'll pick a white zinfandel. A local restaurant uses Copper Ridge brand as their house wine. To me it's hard to beat with any meal and would fit your wife's tastes.

Meat & mushrooms...I'm thinking Lambrusco....

Thanks guys... I'm really not good at pairing. LOL So I finally decided to use what I had on hand which turned out to be a nice Merlot, which tasted pretty good with it to me. If the wife disagreed she was gracious enough to let me think I had chosen well... gotta love that woman!
