Three most popular wines.
White
1 Chardonnay
2 Sauvignon Blanc
3 Pinot Grigio/Gris

Red
1 Cabernet Sauvignon
2 Merlot
3 Pinot Noir

So if you want to stay in the middle, go with one of these. I would try to stay around $65-75. Two good questions are, old world VS new world and what are you going to eat? Red wine with meat and white with seafood. Cab/merlot with steak is a classic match. Pinot Noir can work with both, depending on the style of the Pinot and the dish. Depending on the restaurant the server or someone might be able to help you.

And this.

I also disagree with the Sancerre suggestion. Instead, I would go with a white Jura;). On the other hand, a well-picked new world Pinot isn’t a bad choice, as long as it isn’t too young/austere.
