Complete Newbie looking for all-around good wines.

[Whiskylover]

So this is what I'll be buying:

==WHITE==

Riesling: 2012 Domaine Zind-Humbrecht Riesling

Pinot Grigio: 2014 Abbazia di Novacella Pinot Grigio


==RED==

Merlot: Columbia Crest Two Vines Merlot 2012

Zinfandel: Bradford Mountain - Zinfandel Dry Creek Valley 2012

Unless anyone has other recommendation(s)

This is what I found would be the "optimal" red and white wines that I can get a hold of.
