Need Help! Wine Choice Advice

[amara98]

Hi,

Help! I'm planning a dinner for an important council meeting in Naples, Fl, and I know NOTHING about wine! They'll be having Mahi Mahi with Manog and Peach Sauce, Prime Rib and Chicken with Citrus butter. Suggestions offered by the Catering Department were:

Merlot - Baulieu, or Blackstone
Sauvignon Blanc - Cakebread, or Pepe.

We'd like one red and one white. Any ideas on which of these would be better for our group? Are these any good? Any other suggestions?

We're also having a dinner at a restaurant; the dinner is mostly seafood, except for the lamb "Osso Buco." They suggested Merryvale Starmont Chardonnay and Carmenet Dynamite Merlot.

Any Opinions on these would be helpful. Thanks in advance!
