Wine Pairings for 8-Course Dinner

[bmldevil]

Hey all,

I have been reading these postings and am very impressed with the dialogue that goes back and forth and the consistent expertise of the forum's moderators and membership.

I am currently planning a major dinner party, and need help with specific suggestions/vintages for wine pairings. I've identified general types of wines I may want to serve, but am open to changing them as well. The people I am cooking for have asked to keep the wine budget low, so any suggestions under $10 would be great.

Here's the menu:

Course 1: Bruschetta with Fresh Mozzarella and Basil (potential pairing: Chardonnay or Pinot Grigio)

Course 2: Dueling Fish (Pepper-Crusted Seared Ahi with Spiked Orange Reduction, Sesame-Dusted Snapper with Ginger-Lemon Emulsion, Jicama Slaw) (potential pairing: Pinot Grigio or Gewurztraminer)

Course 3: Maple Turkey Salad with Candied Walnuts, Wild Rice, Caramelized Onions, and Dried Cranberries over Red Leaf Lettuce with a Maple Herb Vinaigrette (potential pairing: Rosé or Viognier)

Course 4: Jack-Stuffed Chile Burger with Red Pepper Relish and Jalapeno Aioli served on Jalapeno Cheddar Corners (potential pairing: Sparking Shiraz or Beaujolais)

Course 5: Intermezzo: Key Lime-Mango Sorbet (no pairing)

Course 6: Honey Dijon Pork Loin served with Apple Chutney, Mustard Mashed Potatoes, and Haricot Verts (potential pairing: Riesling)

Course 7: Chicken & Shrimp Jambalaya (potential pairing: Zinfandel)

Course 8: Strawberry Rhubarb Cobble Crisp with Pecan Brittle (potential pairing: Moscato d Asti)

Thanks in advance for all of your help!
