Welcome to the Frudee Family Winery’s annual Wine Tasting Event.
The Frudee Brothers, DOODIE & RUDY, are anxious to introduce the idea of being able to chemically engineer wine. They believe this is going to save the winery!
Unfortunately, before their big announcement, someone sips their last glass of wine.
Also in attendance are DR. JUDY FRUDEE, a second cousin, and inventor of the new winemaking process; TRUDY FRUDEE, Doodie’s scatter-brained wife;
PRUDY FRUDEE, Rudy’s wife and Winemaker of the Frudee Family Winery;
and DR. WILLIAM BEABORE, a not-so likeable wine critic.
