The music must match the wine (rant)

Just for the hell of it, you guys should sneak "One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer" in there and do it as loud and raunchy as possible.
You must love your sax player. I hope he will somehow return the favor when it's your turn to get laid.

Anything from George Thouroughgood.
Seriously my dad was a part of this crowd and thankfully he grew out of his wine snobbery. I guess he finally realized he was paying $50 a bottle for the same grapejuice I had as a kid for $4. His was just spoiled is all.
Play whatever you like and have the chick watch the movie "Sideways".
Just thought of something else...
How are you supposed to know how to match the flavors of the wine to the set list if you and your band arent given a bottle of each wine to be tasted in advance so you can pick the right songs for the show? I'm juuuuust sayin'

Back in high school, my parents (avid wine drinkers) brought home a case of a new red to try called "RAW POWER." It was potent, with more-than-average % alcohol by volume, and tasted great - my parents would let me drink in the home on their terms once I turned 18. I can't remember the name of the guy, but the wine was made by a semi-retired punk artist who had a love for good wine.
I wonder what you guys would need to play for something like that? The Casualties?

Just play "99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall" from start to finish (of course, one stanza for every wine bottle on the program). I'll bet you she wouldn't know the difference between each iteration.
You know, it's a good thing I don't have this gig. It'd be just too tempting to get fired on the spot and have some fun ruining everyone's evening.
Another option: play pretentious free-improv for the first few wines, then for the fifth or sixth one bust out something like Roger Miller's "Chug-A-Lug" or one of the many songs about Thunderbird. If questioned, explain that you thought this wine tasted just plain cheap. Then go back to playing pretentious stuff like nothing happened.
On a random wine-related note, here's me with a nearly-empty two-liter plastic bottle of Tokaj. Now that's unpretentious wine.
