I'd go with the Mâcon Villages les Florières Cave de Lugny, France and the Penedes Vina Sol Torres Catalunya, Espana

both will go well with food, as well as being gret sippers on their own.

[Bill Hunt]

I would opt for the Mâcon Villages les Florières Cave de Lugny, France, and the Sauvignon BlancMaison Nicolas, Réserve, Vin de Pays d'Oc, France. While NZ SB's are great sippers, I find them to be less food friendly.

Enjoy,

Not a Riesling on your list?!! One of the most delicious, food friendly white wine on earth!!

Sounds like this is a supplied list over which the OP has little control. The numbers next to the red are odd if they are indeed prices which would be ridiculous. OP: can you offer any more information?

[penthouse pup]

This is a bit easier than the red list--Bid 65 Lindemans is easy to like, good chard flavors for its price point, usually refreshing. Kim Crawford has good varietal quality, too though sometimes a bit austere. Goes well with goat cheese...I know some people will disagree but I always like Vina Sol when it's really warm: if it's one year past vintage (2010) it will have a freshness that encourages lots of sipping. Gets stale quickly though so vintage is important,

[Bill Hunt]

The Lindeman's Chard is OK on first taste, but if the attendees have a second glass, it will be less flavorful. It goes rather harsh, in short order, and is not the most food-friendly of the Chard list, IMHO.
