what wine to take to dinner at gf's house?

[Aharami]

having dinner with gf and her family. gf and her mom cooked....mostly peruvian dishes (cuz her mom is peruvian)...so ceviche (fish) and chicken.
not really an event or anything...just random dinner...but still...i dont wanna show up empty handed.
what kinda wine should i take with me? i heard white meat = white wine and red meat = red wine. is that true. gf and i both like red wine...have no idea about white wine

what should i bring?

oh and lookin to spend like $10-20

NICOLAS CATENA ZAPATA REVIEWS


Nicolas Catena Zapata 1999, 94 Points
Robert Parker - The Wine Advocate, Issue 145, Feb 2003

Nicolas Catena Zapata 1999, 93 POINTS.
Highly Recommended.Dense, with roasted cocoa bean, bittersweet chocolate, black currant and blackberry flavors, and a long, powerful finish held together by tongue-pounding tannins. Well-defined now, this should get better in the medium term. Drink now through 2007.
