An Idiot's Guide to Wine Shows in Canada

An Idiot's Guide to Wine is a wine comedy show — a comedy show wrapped around a wine tasting — touring cities across Canada. Written by Australian comedian Aaron Counter, this wine and comedy night has you laughing as much as you learn to taste wine, with zero snobbery. Over roughly 90 minutes, a comedian-sommelier walks the room through the great wine myths — grapes, aromas, pairings — between punchlines, while the audience sips several glasses served at their table.

Half one-man show, half wine workshop, it's the perfect night out with friends, a birthday, or a first date: no wine knowledge required, just the wish for a good time. The show plays regularly in Calgary, Edmonton and other Western Canadian cities in relaxed, social venues.
