About the Show

An Idiot's Guide to Wine: Comedy over Wine is a smash-hit stand-up comedy show that pairs hilarious live comedy with a curated tasting of six different wines. The show was written by Merrick Watts, the only comedian in the world to hold a WSET (Wine & Spirit Education Trust) Level 3 qualification. Originally an Australian sensation, the show has now arrived in San Francisco for a special run at the Gold Bar Whiskey Distillery Tasting Room.

Whether you're a wine connoisseur or a complete beginner, you'll giggle and gulp your way through an evening where the hardest part is not spilling your wine while laughing.
