Merrick Watts – An Idiot’s Guide to Wine
If you have that friend who won’t shut up about wine, bring them to this show. It’s a show where Merrick takes audiences on a journey through the world of wine, with of course a lot of his original humour littered throughout.
Yes, you’ll get to taste some wine, according to this from the MICF website, each audience member will get to taste “six wines” each of which have been handpicked by Merrick. On top of this, each attendee will go home with a pretty fancy Plumm wine glass.
