About the Show

An Idiot's Guide to Wine is a hilarious adult stand-up comedy show paired with a tasting of five 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. Produced by Fever, written by Merrick Watts, developed by Grapes of Mirth.
