Mediterranean style chicken dish.... Italian? Greek? French? Spanish? Maybe the answer to that is obvious to some people, but not to me. If that's all I had to go on, I'd probably gamble with a Pinot Griggio, one like Tomassi (could be spelled with two m's and two s's; can't remember). It's very light and fruity, with a nice finish. Or, look for a Mosel-Sahr-Ruwer (see other postings on that subject). Without knowing any more specifics, I'd probably choose the Pinot Griggio.

More information on the dish is needed for any kind of authoritative recommendation. Depending on the preparation, you could even go with a Cote du Rhone (red) or a Cru Beaujolais.

I would suspect a mediterranean style chicken dish would have plenty of herbs and garlic for seasoning. If you want to take a white, go with the Pinot Griggio that Hotwine recommended. If you prefer red though, and want to jazz things up a bit, go with a 1997 Chianti, such as Gabbiano. I think you will be pleasantly suprised with the results. Also, if you go with the Gabbiano, take at least two bottles- it will go really fast!

Unless your host turns the bird into a lame duck, either choice should serve you well!

I'll go along with the Chianti recommendation, and add Sangiovese. Most likely there are olives involved in the dish; these wines seem to go well IMO.

not that i am biased but a bottle of vina sol from the torres family never lets me down of . I expect the dinner and party is now over but there will be more im sure
