This episode finds Jessica Fletcher in the Sonoma Valley wine country of Northern California guest of Eli Wallach, patriarch of the Gambini family of wine growers and merchants.
It saddens Wallach that his son John Saxon nor his daughter Ina Balin, or his three grandchildren, Kristian Alfonso, Thomas Byrd or Billy Zane seem to have inherited his love of the land and the wine business. But they're all together at Wallach's invitation to find some kind of common ground.
A guest that Alfonso brings, Grant Goodeve winds up being poisoned by some of Wallach's product. And it turns out he's in reality a mob hit man.
I go no further but to say in the end Wallach accomplishes his goal.
A most unusual episode with an unusual twist in the end.
