Before Beverlee McKinsey returned to daytime in her final long-term role, she had a guest appearance on Remington Steele as Alexis Vanderveer. Beverlee chews up the scenery in the same way that dogs chew bone but she's always fun to watch and enjoy. Even this episode where it showed some of her brilliance as family matriarch and demanding mother. I wished that she would come out of retirement for another stab at acting regardless of the role. With Beverlee, she can make it worth it. Vintage Steele is about Laura's old flame coming to see her and help him with a dead man in the trunk. Who knew in 1982 that it was supposed to be drama? Laura, Steele, and her ex-boyfriend travel to the wine country where you get vintage in order to solve the mystery. Upon going there, they meet Alexis and her horses. Too bad, Beverlee McKinsey has given up acting and retired. We miss you, Beverlee.

Vintage Steele
Prismark106 March 2018
With William Hootkins as guest star, you know top men are involved.
Laura meets up with an old flame, they investigate a winemaker near a monastery and find a corpse in vat of wine.
The corpse turns out to be a monk at the nearby monastery and leads the duo to think that the winemaker has a secret to hide.
There is plenty of knockabout fun here, it is all undemanding and Laura lets her head down as she pretends to be a party girl from Acapulco.
