Margaux transforms avenger: truth stranger than fiction
What would you think if I told you that an armed robbery was averted because of wine? No, not a broken bottle waving sort of thing. But a sipping leads to a change of heart sort of thing. Sound implausible?
One evening last month, just such an event occurred in Capitol Hill. Read the astounding and bizarre full story here in the Washington Post. Truth sometimes IS stranger than fiction.
Wouldn’t that be great if everyone kept a bottle of wine at home to foil would-be attackers? Too bad the story doesn’t state the vintage of this Malescot St-Exupéry.

Good thing they weren’t drinking sauvignon blanc or else the story might not have had such a happy ending.

The truth is, indeed, stranger than fiction. All the more reason to drink really good wine at neighborhood parties.
