One more Thunderbird song, this one by Townes Van Zandt:
You just don't get songs like that about fancy French wines.

Write down on a slip of paper "The sax sleeps alone tonight." , seal it in an envelope, and hand it to the Sax player after the gig.
She is so full of herself that there's no room for 'im.
Call me crazy but I actually think this could be done. She'd have to write out a full description of what she thinks each wine means. Then you could select certain instrumental tunes that have that feel to them. In any case, it sounds like more trouble than it's worth. I'd just tell the sax player that unless the whole band is going to get a turn bouncing up & down on the girlfriend, he'd better find a way to tell her that you guys just aren't going to bother with all that. She can have live music or not...period.
She sounds ridiculous. You must be in California.

My vote would go with ratcheting up the pretentiousness...
"What? Don't you agree that the sus4 defined the floral notes and the passing hint of vanilla? Or the use of the Locrian mode spoke of the overly abundant tannins? The diminuendo to complement the lingering finish?"
I'm sure that there is more than enough music speak to up the ante on wine snobs
Or....you could play THIS

If the goal is to get fired quickly, I'd recommend Invalid Link Removed instead. The gig probably wouldn't last 30 seconds.
It is uber-ridiculous but not unheard of. I've seen the same thing happening at art meetings. Sure pal, I will play music that fits the statue. The tune must sound green and blue, please!
Play something that sounds avant-garde to the average listener and she'll be happy.
Trying to date this woman is a bad idea.

If, and thats a big IF, the sax player does find a way to get laid I hope he's prepared for the experience.
The list of precise and exacting demands and expectations that could accompany the said laying could make interesting reading. I don't even want to think about the critique that will follow, It could scar him for life, he might even end up in a monestery. But it might teach him to be carefull about what he wishes for.

Maybe, but nobody wants to get their hands dirty..... so to speak...Surely there must be an easier way to get him laid.....
To the OP: give her the set list and/or recordings and tell her to organize them, as you guys aren't wine experts.

Yeah, and on a "completely unrelated note", really not sure why the sax guy is so intent on getting with this "true wine connoisseur"...exactly. Unless they are true wine connoisseurs, then they swish and spit it out

A Berkeley-educated bass playing friend who has a wine cellar with over 4,000 bottles burst out laughing and said, "What an ass----. Idiots like her give wine drinkers a bad name." when I told him the OP's story. Then he got on one of his many horses and rode to his yacht.
