The guest was so horrified by the question, she spoke with the bar manager. (Apparently the server had worked at an Applebee's before working at the club.)

I'm not sure I understand the story. The guest requested
zin (didn't specify red or white) and the server thought the guest did not know that the zin being served was the much more palatable red variety so the guest was offended? Or the guest wanted white zin, asked for "zin", and the server thought the guest did not know white zin is "red" (pink) and not yellow?
Mr. Kiss likes red zin from time to time. It is amazing how many servers in restaurants with wine lists (including a wine bar!!!! hire new help!!!!!) know nothing about wine and say something like, "You mean the pink kind, right?"
