Blazin’ M Ranch
Wine Murder Mystery Dinner – Who’s Vine is it Anyway?
August 10, 2012
Mystery and mayhem will once again fill the barn this August 10th, 2012 when the Blazin’ M Ranch, a local favorite entertainment venue in Cottonwood, Arizona, presents their second in a series of themed Murder Mystery Dinner Shows, Who’s Vine Is It Anyway?” This wine-themed evening event, featuring special complimentary wine tasting provided by Arizona Stronghold Winery is sure to be a side-splitting outlet for the investigative persona in all of us. The dinner will feature Blazin’ M’s signature BBQ chicken and ribs with all the fixins’ and the price of admission will include a glass of wine (beer or spirits for the non-wine enthusiast). As guests enter the dining queue they will “witness” some interactive scenes that provide clues to help them guess the cold-blooded culprit of the night.
Performing to a sold-out venue last month for their first Murder Mystery Dinner Theatre at the ranch, the all-star cast returns featuring five of Sedona and the Verde Valley’s most acclaimed actors, singers and musicians. Tom & Shondra have entertained audiences with their own shows across the U.S. and continue to be local favorites performing in a variety of venues. Mike Gilbert is best known and loved in the Verde Valley as a talented, composer, guitarist, singer and sound designer. Audiences have enjoyed Brad Robert’s performances in acting and singing roles in venues around the Verde Valley including Canyon Moon Theatre. Dev Ross, an actress, singer and a former writer for Disney, is currently writing morning shows for Mattel and has two film scripts under consideration by Fox Searchlight and a subsidiary of Lionsgate.
This talented local troupe will come together again to portray some zany and memorable characters, including Detective Dandy, singer Cheri Chardonnay, stranger Al Catraz, along with Chef Cookie, wine snob Franc Bacchus and Jacque B. Nimble with his new bride Marilyn Merlot and even some unsuspecting guests who could be questioned as suspects! It will be up to the guests to vote during the Guilty Pleasures dessert service as to who they believe the culprit is. A Grand Prize, valued at over $500 will be awarded to the person drawn from those who correctly guess the “who dun it?”. Prizes include a helicopter ride for two from Arizona Helicopter Adventures, an overnight package from Cliff Castle Casino Hotel including a VIP limo ride, a Complete Western Experience from A Day in the West in Sedona, and admission tickets to the Verde Canyon Railroad, Out of Africa and the regular cowboy dinner show at The Blazin’ M Ranch.
A keepsake custom branded wine glass and “Menus for Murder” outlining the evening’s itinerary will be provided upon check-in at 5:00p.m. when the sleuthing begins. While enjoying the tractor pull, museum, shooting gallery, gift shops, wine tasting and other libations in the Copper Spur Saloon and the Spirited Stirrup, attendees will hone their detective skills as they watch for clues to unfold during these pre-dinner activities and attractions. The dinner bell rings at 6:15 p.m…….the suspense continues until 8:30 p.m.
