Red wine for a new Lady in my life...

Welcome to the board.
Perhaps a Ridge Lytton Springs (zinfandel blended with other grapes) if available. Around the $30 mark here and should be less in a Class Six store. If that's not available, maybe a Chianti Classico (this wine has some acid and tannins and is better with food--pasta with a tomato sauce, beef, etc.--than by itself). In fact, that's true of most wines. You could also provide a nice cheddar cheese or smoked Gouda cheese with a red wine. A Beaujolais Villages is another possibility.
