Need some advice on grilling and wine.

Well, while the debate over liquid refreshment is still underway I did find the seafood/red meat.

http://www.allfreshseafood.com/  is where I am ordering the seafood.

http://www.omahasteaks.com/ is for the red meats.

Both ship overnight without freezing the meat.  Both have decent prices and good reviews.

Will be spending about 150 for seafood (including shipping) and about 80 for red meats (including shipping)

All of it is fresh and should be wonderful.  Planning to have the red meat delivered the day before so i can prep it.

the seafood i am having delivered on the day as it only requires some rubs before grilling.

Thank you all for the wine/drink suggestions.  I will try to take some pictures of the food and post.  This will be done July 31st, so I still have plenty of time to decide.

  Sounds great!

  Now get some microbrew beer and a bottle of Mumms champain.    Make it a magnum bottle and wait for the magic to happen!

I suggest red or purple.

Given that's it's an anniversary why not consider a sparkling wine? They're not really expensive compared to real Champagne and are very palatable for people who rarely drink wine. But as I'm sure you know any kind of wine is stronger than beer. Sparkling wine goes down very easily and you can find yourself very tipsy very quickly.

My sister worked in the wine trade for many years. Her simplest advice was to simply drink what you like and ignore the hype around it.

I would stick to white wines in any case. Red wine is much more of an acquired taste and the hangovers more intense.

Ordering seafood and red meat online.....

Dude from Douglas, GA you can't find seafood or a good local butcher shop? I live in Birmingham, AL and we have three seafood shops here in town that run a truck down to family owned fishing boats each night and you have fresh fish the next morning in the shop. Shrimp, Snapper (when in season), trigger fish, etc...

As for red meat...just go find a local butcher.

Heck you can't be more than 2 hours from Savannah or Jacksonville over there and I know there is a ton of seafood as well as farms that sell beef to local markets in those areas.
