Description

Ralph Rottingrape and his wife, Tiny Bubbles invite their closest friends, Otto Von Schnapps, Marilyn Merlot, Papa Vito, Bonny Lass, Bud Wizer and Hedy Shablee to their Vineyard for an evening of good food, wine, and fun. As the guests lift their glasses to toast their hosts, a small tremor shakes the mansion. Used to such things, the guests were generally unmoved until the old wooden floor buckled, revealing the well-preserved body of former vineyard owner, Barry Underwood. Much shaken, the close friends now look around to see if one of them could be responsible for this vintage murder mystery. All proceeds benefit our High School Youth NCYC trip.
