You don't have to spend a lot of money to get a good wine, and if a woman is a wine drinker, chances are, she won't be drinking a sweet wine.
Pinot Noir is a nice red, it's not as robust as a burgandy or a cabernet, I prefer it. If you want to impress college girls get a Merlot, but no one over the age of 21 with any taste will be impressed by it.
Pinot Grigios are nice whites.. crisp and refreshing for summer, and not heavy and oakey like Chardonneys are.
Go to the wine store... and tell a person who works there how much you want to spend (and under 15 dollars a bottle will get you very good stuff, under 10 will get you a good bottle) and what you are planning on serving it with.

you don't need to spend a lot to get a good bottle - 25 - 30 is ridiculously overpriced... Food and WIne magazine every month lists a bunch of bottles in the 10 -15 dollar range that are quite good...
