Selecting 2 wines

[wondersofwine]

A New Zealand or Sancerre (Loire region of France) Sauvignon Blanc or a Riesling as a white wine. (Sauvignon Blanc goes nicely with bleu cheese). A Bogle Merlot or Rancho Zabaco Sonoma Heritage Zinfandel as a red.
These are available for less than $20. The Merlot or Zinfandel should be good with cheddar cheese, Dutch cheeses like Gouda or Edam or other hard cheeses. Answer depends to some extent on what cheeses you are serving.
