Someone said something about ordering what the other women are ordering---ha! What if you, like me, go to a lot of parties where you're the only woman, or the only other woman is old? I would go to client events, and the senior partner of my old firm was old and drank very little. She would order a wine spritzer. Munchkin was not ordering the spritzer, so I'd follow the cue of what the client or construction manger was ordering.
Some of you other people are giving shitty advice.

When ordering wine....you should consider quality above all. There have been Napa Valley reds that have scored higher in many tastings in regions in France. People that know good wines....know good wines. You are going to look like an idiot if you order some shitty bottle simply because it is native to where you are.
If the man is any kind of gentleman....he should order the bottle that is appropriate, so you shouldn't have to worry about it.
