Wine for Father’s bday

I am scratching my head over the wines to be consumed during father’s 70th birthday weekend. Perhaps the following combination is worth consideration:

First up, a Champagne Lombard Brut to celebrate the big event and to get things started. I can imagine it’s not exactly everybody’s favorite as it is not sweet in nature, but hey good sparkling are not meant to be sweet. Next up, a Spanish red wine – Initium, a blend of Tempranillo and Merlot. Good easy to drink wine perhaps suitable to enjoy during the day or with light meals.
A Chilean red – De Martino Shiraz, This 89 pointer wine has a heavier body and is perfect match for red meats. This could make things interesting. An Italian Tua Rita Tuscana 2003 might be chosen. I am longing to taste this interesting bottle of wine. Last but not the least a bottle Prosecco Grappa. A 40% alcohol sparkling wine that bound to makes everybody drunk high. I do wonder if these are sufficient for 8 adults over two nights, however.
