Suggestion for a red to serve at a party

[Subu_Ramachandran]

I thought may be share the menu
Chicken Cream Tikka
Chicken Seekh Kebab
Paneer Tikka
Fish Ajwaini (Carom Seeds) Tikka
Daal Makhani
Karahi Murgh

I wasn’t originally planning to add champagne but thinking will do that now (in addition to red). First couple of hours of the party will be really drinks and tandoori appetizers.

Dinesh,

This is my tried and tested given your choice of red and your budget.

For kebabs (chicken and panner) - Cru Bojo. Foillard Morgons have worked well.
For Kadai murgh - a N. Rhone Syrah like Chave Offerus.

Champagne however pairs well as many suggested(with most foods).

I would avoid, oaky, tannic and alcoholic reds.

I like Subu’s reccos and kudos to whoever first mentioned Cru Beaujolais. OTOH, not sure about northern Rhone Syrah for the Karahi/Kadai Murgh, I’d look for a southern Rhone, more earth than mineral. Zinfandel below the alky level of Everclear makes similar sense.

Being a stickler, and at the risk of being an asshat, I feel I should mention that when a poster asks for a recommendation for a red, I do not suggest Champagne, Riesling, Gewurztraminer, Pinot Gris or anything that does not happen to be red. However Lambrusco is an interesting suggestion that meets the sole criterion.
