Death is a Cabernet,'Ol Chum

It was an evening of wine and St. Anne’s cheese at the Maize Valley Winery in the Ohio Valley. The occasion: a celebration of the winery's tenth

anniversary. Owner Todd Melee took great pride in pouring his world-famous Big Red Pecker, the wine with the rooster on the label that tickles the palates of wine connoisseurs everywhere. Over the past decade, his small operation had built a record of supplying a quality product, but Melee's surly personality had produced more adversaries than advocates.

As the gathering broke up about midnight, Melee bade "farewell" to everyone and said he would stay around to turn out the lights. But the next morning, it became deadly obvious that someone had planned lights out for him. Melee’s lifeless body was found at the bottom of the stairs that lead 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.

You can assist the Ohio Valley Sheriff’s Department in solving this case. Join a dedicated cadre of super sleuths on Saturday, January 30th to investigate the homicide and to identify the killer lurking among the eight suspects. You’ll meet them online via Zoom, and even be able to question them to discover key facts. Reserve your spot TODAY. Space is limited and you won’t want to miss out on the exhilarating prospect of drinking it all in.

Oh, quite the “cocky” brute! Yes, it was a real bird and it did rule the roost, as does the wonderfully bold, yet smooth, dry red blend it is named after. Big Red Pecker is a signature dry red-wine blend made from 50% Merlot, 25% Cabernet Sauvignon and 25% Petit Syrah. Soft, fruit-forward aromas and flavors of cherry and blackberry from the Merlot and Petit Syrah are blended with the bold structure from Cabernet Sauvignon to provide the perfect amount of tannins and balance. The hens would say to check out the “legs” on this one, but instead, they offer a bit of advice.
