Need your help

I am a relatively new member and have been shocked at the change in tone here since I joined. So my question.

It is grilling season and we grill lots of chicken. My good friend insists that we must drink a white wine and at the most a French Rose with grilled chicken. I think you can drink a light red like a thin French Pinot. Our goal is to lighten the place up at night. What think you?

And thanks for all you do.
