WASHINGTON - 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."[...]Then he tucked the gun into the pocket of his nylon sweatpants."I think I may have come to the wrong house," he said, looking around the patio of the home in the 1300 block of Constitution Avenue NE."I'm sorry," he told the group. "Can I get a hug?"
With that, the man walked out with a crystal wine glass in hand, filled with Chateau Malescot. No one was hurt, and nothing was stolen.
