I guess it does take some thought; what is the flavor profile of the veggie dish? Riesling tends to be a safe choice with many foods, as well as Pinot Noir. With the squash, maybe something like Gewurztraminer? I would imagine eggplant and mushrooms would get overpowered by anything too acidic; Provence rose'?
