The Frudee Family has been in the wine-making business for years. While not entirely successful, their winery has stayed afloat despite the whining from the local wine critic, Dr. William Beabore.

The Frudee brothers, Doodie and Rudy, are eager to share their revolutionary wine-making technique. Doodie has made an amazing discovery and knows they’ll make a big splash with it in the wine world. Unfortunately, someone sips their last glass of wine (ever) before the big reveal.

Doodie’s wife, Trudy, will do anything to help her husband, even if it leaves an unpleasant aftertaste. Rudy’s wife, Prudy, with secrets of her own, would rather not stain her reputation.

Enjoy some wine tasting and learn a little about wine; the tannins, the oakiness, and the heaviness of the wine’s body. But be careful. Someone will end up two sheets under. I guess this wine-tasting event is 'to die for.’

Join us while we wine a little and laugh a lot at Murder By Merlot.

Tickets: $65 per person

Alas, things quickly spiral out of control and there is a March Madness Murder!"

Happy Valentine’s Day!

Welcome to Cafe Amore, where love is always on the menu. Sounds like the perfect place for Valentine's Day, right? This exclusive eatery claims that its food will make anyone who tastes it irresistible to the opposite sex. But these charms come with a very steep price.

Your chef for the evening is Pierre Poupon, an egomaniacal tyrant who runs the kitchen with an iron fist. However, his sous chef, Julia Lee Crocker, is under-appreciated and is the real talent. The new hostess, Wilamina Rose, is hiding a dark secret and a deep grudge, and rounding out this motley crew is Madge Migilicutty, a desperate diner from a tiny town in Alabama who has spent her life savings to taste this meal and find love. But, is finding love worth dying for?

It's a recipe for mayhem.
