“It could be any guest.” — Makenzie Kramer, Legend Cellars On who could be the murderer at this weekend’s dinner
Photo provided
Guests take a stab at guessing the murderer at last year’s “Murder in the Snow” dinner on New Year’s Eve. This weekend the dinner is a Hawaiian-themed luau where anyone could be the mystery killer. they escape. But hey, to be fair that’s kind of normal at Legend Cellars. This event is one of many they’ve done with themes ranging from Mardi Gras Masquerade to Murder in the Snow on New Year’s. Guests are given scripts to read from throughout the night, with the evening
split into two parts and dinner served in the middle. The winery pairs a selection of their wines with dinner. Their event last month, featuring a pirate-themed murder mystery, was a success. “[It was received] very well,” said Makenzie Kramer, a Legend Cellars employee. “We had it outside on the
patio and everyone dressed up. It was a lot of fun, and a lot of ‘arrrgh’s!’ ”
“It could be any guest,” Kramer said.
“They have a blast,” she said. “And they get to meet new people.”
Seating is limited to 30, so if you miss your chance this time, you can catch the next one in November. Check online for themes and a specific date.
Don’t worry, the murderer will be revealed at the end. Of course, it might be you.
Intrigued? RSVP by calling 509-8884442 or by e-mailing legendcellars1@ gmail.com.
She said she’s seen guests return after their first murder mystery.

WINE
This week’s pick: Chelan Ridge Winery About the winery: Owners Lynn and Henry Munneke own one of a small handful of true “estate” wineries in the Chelan area. Estate wineries are unique in that they control each step of the winemaking process: the Munneke’s grow all of their own grapes on-site, make their wine, bottle it at the winery and sell it in their tasting room. Additionally, they use only Chelan grapes — one of the perks of owning vineyards, which make for a picturesque place to stroll and enjoy your wine. The vineyards were established in 2000, followed by the opening of the winery in 2003 and the tasting room in 2010. The facility produces 900-950 cases per year. They recommend: “Absolutely our estate barrel-fermented Chardonnay. That is our signature wine,” Lynn said. She describes the Chardonnay as their “specialty,” noting it’s unique fermentation process. “A lot of people are doing Chardonnay in stainless steel,” she said. And, if you’re up for something a little different, they have an obscure treat: white merlot. Lynn describes it as “rare” and “odd,” adding that many people can’t find it elsewhere. Why go?: The winery itself is worth the trip, but the wine might keep you around. In the summers, a large patio serves as an excellent spot to check out the “unbelievable” view over lunch and when the air turns cold, head inside to enjoy the warmth of a big stone fireplace.

As of right now, the winery only hosts a few private events but they’re licensed for live music and look forward to hosting weddings. Plus, they have the neat honor of being a “gravity-style” winery, meaning they don’t pump the wines from place to place, but use the three stories of their winery to transfer it. “We like to be gentle,” Lynn said.
