I can propose a

Tonight sir, with your fish tartare, I can propose a 1911 Chateau Bleu.

Yes, it's OK. The word "can" may be dropped though; "I propose" would do by itself. I would capitalise "Sir" as it is a term of address.

  • Probably strictly speaking there should be a comma before "Sir" as well as after, but this may start to look a bit fussy.
