Do your homework before pouring the vino at your next dinner party. Decide to serve wine by a specific region or the variety of grape. You can really add spice to a dinner party by focusing in on one region, such as the Napa Valley or certain areas of Italy. To select wines from Italy, explore a few varieties from the heart of the rich area.
To get started, consider the following choices:
Provide wine from the Chianti region of Tuscany such as Classico and Montalbano.
Add a bottle of Pinot Grigio for a light, white variety.  
Select Bardolino red wines from Verona, Italy.
