7 Deadly Zins

Greed, Pride, Lust, Gluttonous, Angry, Slothful, Envy. It's a sinful blend. 7 Deadly Zins, Lodi Appelation, Zinfandel, 2003. I have so much to say about this one. About $15 in the store, way over our usual blogging price, but my husband thought it would be fun to go for a run with our dog, Arty, then go to Wash Park Grill after and have drink. I have to say that I protested, I didn't think the dog should go, but he insisted that they even had water dishes for the dogs and we would sit on the patio. So we went. 7 Deadly Zins was $38 at the grill. The nice thing is that Colorado has a new cork and go law, so if we don't finish, we can take it with us.

We were really enjoying our 7 deadly Zins, relaxing, with the dog by Bob's feet, eating our "before" dinner salads until, a very inebriated man walking down the street, unbeknownst to us, decided to stop, crouch down (we think, we never saw or heard him), reach under a planter, through a railing and stick his hand under our table into our dog's face. Our meal was ruined. He didn't ask to pet the dog, he didn't even talk to the dog and it was dark out. Arty didn't take to it very well. The next thing we see is this drunk man stagger backwards and start accusing our dog of biting him. He said "I own a restaurant and I know dogs"! And I'm thinking, yeah, so what's your point?. Is stupidity one of the 7 Deadly Zins? It should be.




Vicious Dog! Posted by Hello

To make a really long story short, we weren't apologetic enough for the drunk guy and he didn't feel like we showed enough compassion for his pain. He had a small non-bleeding mark on the top of his hand. He started slurring profane names at us then had the manager call the police, who had better things to do than come running to drunk idiots rescue after they did something that would earn them an honorable mention in the Darwin Awards. Next, his wife comes out and proclaims that she "Is the calmer of the two". I knew we were in trouble. She wanted us to take responsibility for the alleged dog bite. I suggested, very kindly that her husband should also responsibility and NEVER try to pet a dog he doesn't know without first asking permission from the owners. (click that link for some very good tips on how to avoid being bitten by a dog). The manager told us that he was back in the bar drinking some more. I don't think his hand is the only thing that hurt the next day. Guess what guy, dogs bite, they are animals, they have teeth, that's what they do! Of course I couldn't say this that night, drunk people are way too unreasonable and unpredictable, like dogs.
