Compromise

[Ejac13]

My wife is all about White Zinfedel & Reisling while I love dry reds with hints of pepper and/or oak. We are looking for some middle-of-the-road wines that we can share (red, rose, or white) in more casual settings. We both enjoy Louis Jadot Beaujolais-Villages (the only red she's ever publically endorsed). Yellowtail's Shiraz has been recommended from friends. The reviews of a Lambrusco on this board will encourage a purchase as well. Other than that, what vinyards/grapes or keywords on a label/review should we keep in mind?
