Well, I was going to recommend a grass - Hard fescue.  It is very low growing 
(4"?) and chokes out many weeds.  However, I believe it is somewhat 
susceptible to drought and since you only have 19" of rain per year, I'm not 
sure it would be a good choice (you might want to discuss this with your 
local extension agent).

My father and I have hard fescue between our 9' vineyard rows.  We only need 
to cut it a few times a year.  However it is harder on the mower to cut.
