About the Show

An Idiot's Guide to Wine: Comedy over Wine is the smash-hit stand-up comedy show that has arrived in San Diego, CA. The show pairs hilarious live stand-up comedy with a curated tasting of six different wine varietals from around the world.

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