About Roche Winery: “In 1987, Joseph and Genevieve Roche founded and built Roche Winery. With an initial production of only 2,000 cases of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, they grew the brand to offer several additional varieties including Merlot, Syrah, Cabernet, Zinfandel, Muscat Canelli and Gewürztraminer. It was never their intention to mass-distribute their wines, rather, they chose to sell their family’s wines directly to their customers. Joseph and Genevieve loved to entertain and hosted thousands of Roche customers over the years at winery events to thank them for their loyalty to Roche Winery.”

THAT REMINDS ME OF: Murder, She Wrote.

Former teacher Jessica Fletcher finds success as a mystery writer living out of small town Cabot Cove, Maine. She has a bit of a tendency to get involved in murder cases, however. Either it happens around her, she catches word of it, or someone brings it to her. Sometimes it’s out of town, sometimes it’s across the ocean. But murder it be. She’s very perceptive and thorough, often more than the local police, who begrudgingly will accept her consultation. Well, eventually.

With 12 seasons over 12 years between 1984 and 1996, a total of 264 episodes of the show aired (plus four TV movies). Of them, 54 take place around Cabot Cove. So while there weren’t 264+ murders in a small place like Cabot Cove, you gotta wonder…
