Wine Tasting Murder Mystery Theme

"Death is a Cabernet"

In a "progressive" wine tasting You would offer the mildest wines at the first house along with an appetizer and the first clue. Then, guests would progress to the second home for a different selection of wines, food, and the second clue. The final clue is revealed at the forth home where guests solve the murder.

Of course, if you live in a neighborhood where walking isn't an option, you can simply host all of the clues in one location. Just "reveal" the first course of wine with the first clue and so forth.
