What types of wine should I serve with this dinner?
I'm preparing dinner this weekend and would like to try to pair each course with wine (if possible). If needs be (or if one wine can span a few courses), that's fine. Here's the menu:
Appetizer: a basic artichoke/spinach dip
Main course: rosemary roasted chicken with new potato & green bean salad
Dessert: chocolate truffles (some chocolate, some lemon, some orange)
Any help would be greatly appreciated - thanks!

Appetizer, I would pair it with a Napa Valley Sauvignon Blanc
Main Course, You could still use the Sauvignon Blanc if you wanted or you could try a Pinot Grigio
Dessert: Champagne or Sparkling Wine
Also late harvest Zinfandel is really good with Chocolates
The Champagne or Sparkling wine can work with the Appetizer as well as the Dessert
The Sauvignon Blanc can go with the App, and the Main
If you have any questions, or want specific brand I can help you out with that.

Serve a nice Chenin Blanc with the appetizer, the sweetness will compliment the slightly sharper taste of the dip.
A California Chardonnay in the medium price range $10.00-$20.00 would bring out the rosemary flavors
Beringer Cabernet Sauvignon Port for the dessert if you can find it. A 1/2 bottle of German ice wine or Trockenbierenauslese (expensive). Or a 1/2 bottle of a Sauternes from France. There is an orange Muscat produced in California that would be nice, Obester Winery.

A California chardonnay would be good with the appetizer ...
A German gewurtraminer or California dry Reisling with the entree
Madeira would be good with the dessert ... You might even want some liqueurs to have in coffee too. Robust reds go beautifully with chocolate. Although merlot isn't a "dessert" wine, a California merlot would also work well with the chocolate truffles

I mostly agree with TX2Step. I would add to the dessert possibilities: a Late Bottled Port and Late Harvest or Ice wine as possibilities to go with the truffles.
