Hi,
With all the great wine options out there, and me being a total beginer wine lover, I would like to know what wines go best with the meals that include the following:
Pasta?
Beef?
Pork?
Seafood?
I'm just looking for a general ideas for now, as I begin my wine advantures.

Hi W.L.W. and welcome to the Wine Board. I'm sure you know that how the food is prepared makes a big difference. Here are some very general guidlines:
Pasta (with tomato). If you like acid with acid as I do, Chianti or Barbera. Otherwise, Salice Salentino.
Beef. Cabernet Sauvignon and blends thereof.
Pork. Pinot Noir, Italian Rosato, Riesling.
Seafood. Shellfish; Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling. Fin Fish; Unwooded Chardonnay, Pinot Grigio, Pinot Gris.
