Any oenophiles?

Hi - I have a $100 coupon to use at nakedwines.com.

Any wine connoisseurs can take a peek and make some suggestions? I am not very knowledgeable about wine; in restaurants I ask the server for a suggestion. I don't normally drink wine at home except when hosting dinners. Some planned dinners:

Spanish vegetarian
Middle Eastern, featuring yogurt marinated grilled lamb
Thanksgiving

So I'd appreciate wine suggestions. I'd hate to turn down my $100 offer.

Merci.

Honestly it depends on which kinds you like imo.

Personally, i love a syrah with dinner.

@BLAZINGGIANTS would be a great person to ask.

Well if you want some good wines and good value, I would stick with wines from Argentina, Chile. Perhaps a Malbec from South America for the Thanksgiving. You can also get some great deals on Spanish Rioja or Garnacha which both could go with the other two meals you suggested.

White Zinfandel pairs nicely with Sour Patch Kids.

Dude there are these vanilla cupcake goldfish crackers they make..... best snack ever with wine.

Here is an example of a Garnacha that I think is pretty damn tasty for under $8 and would go with a bunch of meals

I don't know nakedwine.com as much, but it looks like you can find some good selections.

Now that the summer is coming out, this is a cheap and tasty white.

I'm just thinking about those cheaper wines because last night five of us plowed through $300 worth of quality wines without a second thought. I need to have cheaper options for the daily stuff.
