The grapes that go into the wine don’t matter nearly so much as the nature of the wine itself. That is, you want wines with lively acidity and relatively low alcohol, the sorts of bottles that are refreshing and energizing over the course of a long feast. You don’t need as much wine, so if you like you can open your finest bottles. Any of these wines will work, as long as they are not too oaky. Even so, the wine panel stayed with its philosophy of seeking out lithe, agile wines.
