You might try to cover your gaffe by arguing that Lester bought Stag's Leap Chardonnay or Rose, but if a wine shop owner is recommending it, he/she is recommending one of their reds, which is where their reputation has been made. Besides, veal is served with red.
and good red wine is served at room temperature. Perhaps you've heard of the phrase, letting wine breathe? That's a reference to red wine, opened about a half hour before serving, and perhaps even decanted.
