wine for a luncheon

[heins]

The menu is:Shrimp and garlic/bruschetta appetizer. The main entree is roasted pork loin (medallions) w/ red onion confit and vermouth potatoes as a side. It is an early lunch, prefer wine in the under $20. category.

Sonoma Creek Pinot Noir.

Pinot is a good call, but don't forget about whites. You have olive oil & garlic to deal with and it is lunchtime. To deal with the pork though, you need some power.
Try Alsace. Any decent producer of Pinot Blanc or Pinot Gris will work. The blanc will be cleaner , the gris a touch of sweet. Both will have power and very little to no oak. Both will also fit your budget.

I am with Jason on this one.
