Beringer White Zinfendel would be a great one for your guests....fresh red berry, citrus and melon aromas and flavors and round these out with subtle hints of nutmeg and clove. The wine has a youthful exuberance that is appealing to anyone looking for an uncomplicated wine... (around $6.00 a bottle)
• Plan close to ½ bottle of wine per guest every 2 hours
• Parties before 5:00pm - or events with other alcohol - less wine is needed: ½ bottle per guest every 3 hours
• When guests serve themselves increase your wine availability by 10%

I would suggest a drink to match any "theme" you may have with the Pampered Chef products. For example, if they will be primarily showing dessert products, maybe chocolate martini or a Moscato desert wine. I would suggest contacting the person who will be doing the Pampered Chef product showing and finding out exactly what they will be preparing during their demonstration. If they will be doing a cake, maybe then serve a white chocolate martini. If they are doing a meat, get a wine to complement the seasonings that the demonstrator will use. The stronger the seasoning, the stronger the wine. (P.S. You DO NOT have to pair white wine with white meat and red with read meat...match the flavor and intensity of the seasonings with the intensity of the wine. )When properly paired, drinks can really add another dimension and she will probably sell even more. Have a great party!

Finger foods. Pinot Noir, Cabernet Sauvignon, try any french wine. or an Australian. And white wine try a Chardonnay from California. Finger foods like Artichokes (except the heart), asparagus without sauce, crisp bacon, bread, cookies, corn on the cob, hors d'oeuvres, sandwiches (except open-faced), and small fruits and berries on the stem. Don't forget the cheese. Have Fun.

If the food is light, I'd go with a sauvignon blanc, or pinot gris. They're both light and fruity and provide a good balance. And remember, bubbly is always fun and goes with everything. And to dress them up you can offer Kir Royales, which is just a tsp of creme de cassis in the flute before filling it with the bubbly.
I know if someone fed me bubbly during any home party, my checkbook would open right up!

Dr. Loosens Riesling wine would be a good one to serve. It is mild in flavor and not very dry. Should go well with your snack foods. Also, very reasonably priced at about $10. per bottle.

Wine..a Rioja (red), or Mouton Cadet (red or white) they can be drunk with or without food, they are not too tanic or acidy. Or what about a sparkling wine with orange juice? Or Sangria, with extra punch for folk who don't want a strong drink?

For a red wine a light bodied merlot or pinot noir.
