I can't speak to the reds, since I can't drink them, but otherwise, Ratman makes some nice suggestions.
For 1 or 2, a nice fume blanc would have worked as well - clean, crisp, tart. I personally DESPISE Chardonnay, but it can be tasty if you can get the oak free sort. But even then... what a boring grape to me.
Boy, I should finish the thread before I respond. Sheesh. That does look amazing, Charlie! Very impressive.
