#1 You'll want a red wine, preferably something with some body (to work with & through the grease & cheese). My initial suggestion was going to be Mad Dog; otherwise, I like Yellow Tail's Shiraz and Frontera's Merlot/Cabernet blend -- a large bottle can be had at most Sam's Clubs for $8.

#7 Lets see - the obvious choice is a haughty French Bourdeaux like Petrus or Le Pin but since this is a guy with a newly found Jewish background (not Irish) then the appropriate quaff would be Mogen David, wouldn't it?

#8 A nice red "Ripple" would go well, as well as a rare "Sly Fox" circa 1967.

#9 "the appropriate quaff would be Mogen David"

To a genuine Fluffian like me, the thought of chasing down a cheese steak with that stuff is enough to gag a maggot. Yakkkk!!
