Stranger than Fiction

Here’s the strangest story I’ve read in a looong time, in today’s WaPo:

A grand feast of marinated steaks and jumbo shrimp was winding down, and a group of friends was sitting on the back patio of a Capitol Hill home, sipping red wine. Suddenly, a hooded man slid in through an open gate and put the barrel of a handgun to the head of a 14-year-old guest.

"Give me your money, or I'll start shooting," he demanded, according to D.C. police and witness accounts.

The five other guests, including the girls' parents, froze -- and then one spoke.

"We were just finishing dinner," Cristina "Cha Cha" Rowan, 43, blurted out. "Why don't you have a glass of wine with us?"

The intruder took a sip of their Chateau Malescot St-Exupéry and said, "Damn, that's good wine."

You just have to read the rest. I’d say (a) the dinner party guests were extremely fortunate and (b) I’m gonna go looking for some Chateau Malescot St-Exupéry. That’s gotta be great wine.
