congratulations and welcome to the board, Soon!! As the others here will tell you, the choices will depend on what you are planning to serve, your budget and the number of guests ( helps to determine the number of bottles needed). Add this info to your post and you are sure to get lots of help!! WD

There is little perceptable difference between the Undurrago wines and the Kendall Jackson's. The Undurraga's are a better value. The Freixnet bubbly is an excellant choice.
I think the options you have been offered are poor at best. The Undurrago Chardonnay is acceptable. I would hold out for an Australian Shiraz at about the same price point as the Undurraga Cabernet. That would be a much better choice for a large roomfull of quaffers and snackers.
If you are talking about wines for a sitdown dinner, WD's questions have to be answered.
