    Champagne! Both Merlot & Chardonnay are dry wines & not too sweet. You have a better chance getting a sweeter champagne or ask if they'd be willing to give you a bottle of blush wine. Enjoy your weekend away :)

    Champagne. Not only can you mix it with orange juice, it's great with cranberry too (drink is called the poinsetta). Since you're not a wine drinker, the other choices might be too bitter for you.

    I'm a red wine drinker but if you are not used to drinking wine, you might prefer a white over red, especially if the red offered is a Merlot. NOT a fan. Personally, in your predicament, I choose the Champagne. It's more fun.

    Kudos to the poster who recommended making Sangria. Free wine is usually NOT the best quality and that is a good way to dress it up and make it more palatable.

    I would go with the champaine. If your not a wine drinker, Merlot may be a bit much since it's a semi-dry to dry wine with an oakish type taste to it.

    What's up with all these wine snobs poo-pooing free wine? Jeez, some of the best wines I've ever had were inexpensive or complimentary. Furthermore, I've paid a lot of money for expensive wines only to find they tasted like garbage. Expensive doesn't automatically mean good, and economical doesn't automatically mean bad. Lighten up people.

    Well thank you so much for all of you ideas and thoughts! I could not ask for a better discussion on what to pick. We are going with the White wine and we will be bringing fresh fruits and Sprite to be safe! Thanks again so much we just want to try it and have fun and that sounds the best way to go :)
