Mystery Café

Sip of Death

Everybody knows that Lafayette Alandra Browning, Jr. owns the finest winery in America but nobody knows that he has uncorked his last bottle as the president of Hyacinth Winery. Lafayette was to return today from a long vacation he took to relax before unveiling his most ambitious flavor. His intentions for this evening were to launch his newest wine, Aubergine Springs. We now gather to celebrate his life, untimely death and perhaps find out some things we did not previously know about Mr. Browning. Characters: Philippe Pelletier: Writer, Wine Connoisseur, Raconteur, Impresario, Bon Vivant, Social Gadfly, Gourmand and a man with secrets of his own. Genevieve Bourgeois Browning: Lafayette left behind one spoiled sister. Chester Springlock: Potential buyer for Hyacinth Winery and all around suspicious guy. Tiffany Silverplate: Secretary, Personal Assistant, Fax Madam, Email Enthusiast and Photocopy Vixen. Deputy Cletus Faulkner: He’s as country as country comes. You say ham… he says ham gravy! Professor Rebecca Flutejoy: Eggheads don’t have to be Plane Jane’s. Smart can be beautiful, too. Punjab Akbahrani: Fresh with what makes America great: Entrepreneurial spirit! Lolita Gonco: Just what you ordered from South of the Border! Dr. Phil: self-help guy who may have some problems of his own. Sandy Von Trouthousen, PHD: You love to hate her. She never turns a blind eye to anything.
