Mogen David will be the best since you have Jewish people there. Everyone will like it.

Since you don’t say what you’re having, a good Sangiovese would be good. It’s not too heavy and it pairs well with most foods.
Sangiovese is the base grape for Chianti and there are some really good ones. If you want a domestic, try the Andretti. Of course Mario, being born in Italy, is true to his roots and has produced a fantastic wine.
Italy also produces some great ones sold as a varietal, and also as Chianti. I would stay away from those "cute" bottles in the wicker wraps. The wines aren’t that great and the decoration is why people by the bottle, not the wine.

Chateau Neuf du Pape is a really good red wine. It retails in the UK at around £12.00 per bottle.
