Baseball and Wine: Houston Astros

What's an appropriate wine to serve at a Houston Astros themed party? What wine would be a good gift for a hard core Astros fan?

The Houston Astros team started its Texas baseball adventure as the Houston Colt .45s, definitely an appropriate name for a team from the Lone Star State.  Founded in 1962, the Colt .45s changed their name in 1965 when the team took up residency at the high-tech Houston Astrodome.  Highlighting Houston's connection with the space program, the Colt .45s became the Astros.  Fortunately, the team did not change its name when it moved again to newly-built Enron Field, now known as Minute Maid Park, in 2000.
