[quote=Anonymous]Keep it simple OP. I am not a drinker myself really, but I often have people over and they love to drink. So I have a pre-made list of wine and liquor for when I host dinner parties or attend dinner parties and need to bring a bottle.

Wines:
- white: dry Riesling 
- white: Sauvignon Blanc
- white: Chardonnay
- red: Beaujolais (goes well with steak/red meat)
- red: Merlot
- red: Pinot Noir
- red: Cabernet Sauvignon

As for "brands", just take this list to a reputable wine store (not a convenience store that sells wine or a neighborhood liquor store) and have a sales person help you. The price range you should be looking at is $20-$30. You really don't need to buy $50 since those wines will only really be appreciated by connoisseurs and it sounds like you aren't one, and unless your dad's friends are, don't bother splurging at that level.

Since you're celebrating, you'll also want champagne. Get Dom Pérignon or, if you're really going all out, Krug.

As for the liquors and bitters and juices for your cocktails, ask someone at the liquor store for recommendations. I don't typically mix cocktails for my friends because I don't trust myself, but I do keep good whiskey on hand (Blanton's bourbon, Hendrick's gin, Jack Daniels, Knob Creek rye whiskey, and Johnnie Walker Green Label).

I don't drink too often but as you can tell, my family members and friends are not only serious drinkers, but have nice tastes. So when I have them over or visit them, I'm prepared.
