shiraz it is. thanks for the suggestions.

i am unsure how big of a wine drinker she is, so i am trying to find something with easy drink-ability. for myself as well as i said i am no connoisseur.

from what i have gathered online the yellowtail has some nice reviews regarding this point.

I've had good luck just going to wine stores and asking the people who work there what they recommend.

Yellowtail is overrated and not very good but extreamly popular...it's like the McDonalds of wine...
If the people know anything about wine, I wouldn't bring it to dinner...i would be embarrassed

Chianti Classico. Look for a seal around the neck with a black rooster on it.

This is important. Chianti Classico and Chianti aren't the same thing, and the difference is basically that Chianti Classico's better. It's also probably what I would get to go with lasagna.

I heard that college girls get drunk on those australian wines, and then they put out

...and it's very reasonably priced too.

The restraunt I used to hit up for small occasions served it by the glass and I was hooked.

I got El Diablos back on this one. Chianti Classico. It will go w/ the food better IMO. If you don't go w/ this I would still go Italian. Go to a wine store w/ some selection if you can and get advice for an Italian in your price range. Red. Italian. Goes perfect w/ red Italian food.

Sangiovese

If you're into bargain hunting, try to find one from Emilia Romagna. There's some excellent Sangiovese produced there, and it's far cheaper than a Tuscan product.
