Wine for very large dinner

[hotwine]

Hi, Princess, and welcome to the board. Can you clarify a bit please - you say the main course is duck, and your theme is the Southwest (U.S)? The only ducks we know in the SW is our very own Wineweenie (WW), over in Phoenix......sorry. I'll defer to him and others about a wine to pair with duck. As for a white for your salad, suggest you ask your retailer for Michel Lynch, a Sauvignon Blanc from Bordeaux that should run you no more than $10.
