Salad will be a problem, because of the dressing, but also because even
tomatoes can be difficult. And artichokes are very difficult to pair
with anything (but are too good to give up). Unoaked chardonnay for
some of the others? I would be happy with a spicy red for the mushrooms
(depending on type): a shiraz for these?
Let us know what works for you.
