Wow, that's almost too fictional sounding a read to believe. Not that I dont doubt it happened. Glad nobody was hurt.

"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."

I see a new form of guerrilla marketing emerging from this. Imagine the possibilities.

There's an advertising exec somewhere on earth right now, yelling exuberantly into his phone that his company needs a commercial that mocks this story asap. I can just see it.

If that happened we would be seeing the article in story format in the defunk Penthouse forums instead of the Washington Post.

I think the bigger wine news was "2 buck chuck" getting the gold at the 2007 California State Fair Commercial Wine Competition. Now i'm no longer a wino, I'm an afficianado! *hic*

At least it ain't Boone's. I don't mind Chuck as a table wine; for instance with fish I just crave the dryness of a Chardonnay, without much thought for the flavor. Luckily Chuck Chardonnay tastes like a whopping load of nothing (which suits the average Uh-merrikan palate quite nicely).

Have you heard that new Kenny Winker record?

Who am I kidding? I usually just drink beer with my dinners. I pair it with the cut of beef I'm eating, though.

High Life and ground chuck!

Oh, I think you can still start your own thread about particularly interesting news stories! ninja

I actually didn't know of the existance of the "post a news story..." thread.

And this story is just unbelievable. Wow.
