Hi Josephine, and welcome to the Wine Board. We are probably both going to get into trouble for being here. Don't be surprised if you get moved down to Wine/Food Affinities. Anyhow the answer to your question is: A well chilled sparkler would be nice before dinner. Roederer Estate Anderson Valley Brut or something of that ilk would get everyone going. For the dinner a cellar temperature Crozes Hermitage would be fine with everthing on your menu. Paul Jaboulet Aine's "Les Jalets" would be a good choice. If it is not available, you don't want too fancy a one. Something in the $15 - $20 range is what you are looking for.
