8 Prime Suspects - can accommodate up to 80

The Plot It was an evening of wine and cheese at the Melee Vineyards in the Nippy Valley, celebrating the winery's tenth anniversary. Owner Malcolm Melee took great pride in pouring his world-famous Melee Cabernet, the wine that tickles the palates of wine connoisseurs around the globe. Over the past decade, his small operation has built a record of supplying a quality product, even though Melee's surly personality had produced more adversaries than advocates The celebration was open to the public and the assemblage included both his supporters and detractors, some of whom openly expressed their opinions about his business practices. Melee simply laughed off all negative words, even dismissing the notion that someone was determined to end his reign as cabernet king. As the gathering broke up about midnight, Melee bade "farewell" to everyone and said he would stay around to turn out the lights. But this morning, it became deadly obvious that someone had planned lights out for Malcolm Melee, for his body was found at the bottom of the staircase that leads to the oak casks in the wine cellar. Someone had put the cork on Melee and taken action that would squeeze the winery's reputation.	The Suspects Renee Melee - Malcolm's only child. She returned to the Valley last year to help her father run the winery. Everyone knew that Malcolm and Renee didn't see vine to vine. Pierre LaPaine - Winemaster. His proven process for making the perfect cabernet was under scrutiny by the penny-pinching Malcolm. Stan Milton - Owner of Milt-Marts.

He suspected that Malcolm was using unfair tactics to capture the lion's share of the cabernet marketplace. Sue Veneer - Gift shop manager.

We purchased and played the winery murder mystery called “Death is a Cabernet” and it was a HUGE HIT!!! We are a winery and we did the game with a group of our wine club members. Not only did they talk about it for months, I recently had a request for us to do it again (we first played it a year ago!!).
