Personally, I'd choose the meal. Though I love wine, I do love food infinitely more. I'm not as knowledgeable when it comes to wine (yet), so I don't feel that I'm able to appreciate it as much as a wonderful meal. When it comes to food, I basically know what I want, what I love, and what I don't like. When it comes to wine, I'm still learning. I'm still trying to figure out what I truly love in a wine, or what I SHOULD love in a wine (from what I've read). I'm not at the point where I can appreciate a great wine as much as I could a great meal. That may change in the future, but for now, I want to eat.
