Alright, here's the occasion:

An old friend of mine lives in a hut in the woods of Western Mass. No electricity, beautiful woods, etc. His girlfriend's parents have a farm with some excess chickens, and he's invited me up to slaughter a rooster at the hut. (Side-note: neither of us has done this before, so any tips are welcome).

Needless to say, the occasion calls for special attention to the wine selection. The chicken will be cooked over an open fire, likely flavored only with salt. I'd like something different from the usual chicken complements. "Rustic" is probably the key word here. "Earthy" might be another. Can't do anything on the delicate or subtle side--this wine is likely to be consumed from slighty dirty plastic cups. High alcohol is no barrier for this chicken dish, as we may well need something strong to get over any feelings of disgust/dismay/guilt we may encounter. Price: under $15. Remember the dirty plastic cups.

I'd be delighted by some creative suggestions, inspired as much by the spirit of the occasion as the actual food pairing.

Do your worst!
