Expiration for Reds

[RosesWine]

Looks like I won't be buying any more wines until I finish ones I have and hope they haven't all gone bad. Any recommendations for future purchases to fill my new wine room? I don't like very dry wines or ones with a lot of tannins. Guess you might say I'm leaning towards merlots and pinot noirs. Don't care too much for whites. Also need recommendations for good wine to serve with roast lamb and chicken that I'm serving for a diner party. Thanks.
