A minefield. I'm sure many friendships have been broken, marriagees strained and businesses bankrupt over wine. But here's my suggestions.
For starters:
Fizz - Bolli '02 or '05, Billecart-Salmon Rose or Perrier Jouet Rose, ditto + 07. OJ optional but a waste. Use NV instead.
Dry sherry, the real thing NOT that ****e that you buy at Woolys. Tio Pepe is as good as it needs to be - serve chilled.
First course:
Verse1 Margaret River Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Gris. '07 or '09
Secret Stone Sauvignon Blanc '05, 07, '09
Domaine de Chevalier Graves ''99, 03, 07
LaTour Petits Chablis '03, 05, ,08
Nothing too heavy
Mains:
W: Lois Latour Pouilly Fuisse '05 (Actually ANY '05 Pouilly Fuisse ),
Loius Latour Chablis Premier Crus '05. '07. Chateu Valmur Ditto
Pinot-Chardonnay-Macon. - Only had this once, so can't recommend a house - but:Yummm!. Consult your sommelier.
Red: Chateau d'Angludet, '98 03 , '05, Chateau Batailly,
Beaujolais - Momesin or Mercurey not later than '08. Henshke Cab Sav
Really knock them out with "Bouzy Rouge", the only red made in /as Champagne
Rose: Chateau d'Anjou, Turkey Flat
Dessert: There is only one - Chateau Yqem. More Fizz if desired. Mix it up with some Tattinger or Pol Roger. Do NOT serve the local stuff. God will know!!!!!!
Port / Digestive: Warning about Fizz applies double!!!!
Bermeister (Colheita if you can) '63 (OMG!!!) '77 '89 '01
Taylors or Grahams '77, 89 '01
Poire Williame, Grappa, Curacao Sec, Benedictine, Couvoissier, Hennesy.
"Paradis" for those special friends
Just my opinion.
Happy Feasting!
