I may not know much about wine but I know what I like, and I
would go with a pinot grigio.

Have coffee with the chocolate.

In the summertime? Serve champagne with everything. It's
great with a spicy dish like the pork loin. Last time I was
in our local big liquor chain, there was a lot of stuff on
the level of Domaine Chandon that was quite deeply
discounted. There were some good deals at higher levels too.
They put it on sale for graduation, I guess.

For the people who go "Ew, champagne," have some
Beaujolais. If the meal were not so elaborate, I'd say to
whip up some sangria.

That depends to some extent on what's available in your
favorite wine store. I am partial to red wines and a nice
Australian shiraz would go well with that menu, as would the
Spanish Protocolo, both of which can be found for under $10
a bottle. You'll probably need at least two bottles if those
eight people like to drink wine.

Personally, I would start with the Night Train, follow
through with the Wild Irish Rose and finish the [censored] off
with Thunderbird.

You've been "invited" to a "dinner party" and *you* have to
bring the wine? Sounds like an invitation I'd have to
regretfully decline.

And don't forget the ice to go with it!

Thanks for the suggestions... I think I'll go with a spanish
roja for the main course and maybe a shiraz too...
