Any ideas what to do w/the zucchini / squash to make it tie in w/the rest of the meal better?

Sauvignon Blanc has pronounced flavors of a herbal variety, with grassy and apple flavors, plus olive and a soft, smoky flavor. They can be anything from sweet to dry, but are typically very light. Sauvignon blancs tend to be crisp and acidic, helping the wine cut through heavy food flavors. It pairs well with thick sauces, white pastas, cheesy dishes, and poultry.

Go with Courtney on the wine - Sauv Blanc is the key! Reisling is a desert wine and the sweetness will overdo it. The Sauv Blanc will break up the richness of the alfredo sauce and pair well with the herbs.
As for the Zucchini/Squash, I say steam with just a dash of seasoning - again, you don't want to overpower your main entree, and that alfredo sauce requires a light veggie. Make it al dente - overdone squash and zucchini is no good!

I like Pinot Grigio w/ a dish like that. Bake the squash w/ brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and some butter, salt and pepper. When done mash up adding a bit more salt and pepper, top w/ a bit of parm. cheese and rebake for a bit. Add the zucchini to the alfredo dish, that would be great.

A white wine would be really good with the meal-the red wine would overpower the taste of the chicken. The white is more of a compliment

Put some stewed tomatos,and a couple small cut up yams in it.
Instead of wine,try Mead,it`s a spiced white wine with femented honey,it`s lite and tasty.

White wine isn't good for you. YOu can drink red wine with any meal. I would choose a red wine like a cab.

Champagne - nice and light...and I haven't met anyone yet who didn't like champagne - and it's reasonable $6 to.. $250 a bottle.

I'd say white since it's chicken.

A nice Chardonnay would go well.
