Inexpensive wine pairings?

I am throwing a housewarming party for 20 around mid January. I am planning to have multiple pasta dishes like Lasagne and Alfredos and was wondering if anyone could suggest the best wines to try and pair up that have good flavor but are also reasonably priced. It seems that everyone wants to contribute a bottle but I would like to keep it to a single red and single white so that we aren't all switching. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

White, go with Santiago Ruiz, an excellent albarino.
Red, go with either Pesquera, Ribon, A Alto, Dominio de Atauta, Pago de los Capellanes or Hacienda Monasterio, All of them from the Ribera del Duero region. Happy Holidays

Two Buck Chuck. It makes a bold statement but lacks sweetness on the finish.

Several of my wifes favorite wines are:

"You never take me anywhere..."

"I don't have anything to wear..."

"Other husbands don't have all this Hi FI gear
cluttering the house..."

These suggestions are great, but when you get to the market, they may not be on the shelf.
Find a good wine shop and a well informed sales clerk. Experiment. Have fun.
