For those who may be wondering: "King" is not my real family name. I wasn't aware that a King Family Winery existed. I was, however, aware of Crozet, the real town in which Rita Mae Brown placed her "Mrs. Murphy" mystery series. In real life it's as pretty and charming a place as it seems to be in the novels, but the murder rate is lower. If you can afford a short road trip, take this one.
