Shrimp Rice Dish with Fennel Salad

[Jackie]

I'm having 8 people for dinner Wednesday. I'm planning to make a simple rice dish with shallot, mushrooms, red bell pepper, white wine (probably chardonnay) and shrimp. I'm also serving a yummy Fennel and Mushroom Salad that I recently discovered on the Cooking Channel, which contains fennel, mushrooms, parmesan curls, parsley and fresh lemon vinaigrette. (It's delicious.)

Should I stick with Chardonnay for the dinner?

Brownies and ice cream for dessert. What's nice with brownies?
