Merrick Watts brings a new season of An Idiot’s Guide to Wine to Canberra this August!
This is wine tasting unlike any other. Sip your way through six handpicked wines while Merrick takes you on a wine journey filled with tasting notes, food pairings, questionable advice and plenty of jokes about the French.
He somehow does have legitimate wine credentials (WSET 3 & Barossa Master) and will guide you through each pour, share stories and attempt to make wine make sense, you might even learn something along the way.
The perfect Friday knock-off or Saturday afternoon session, this is your excuse to round up a crew, drink great wine and actually have a laugh while doing it.
For Volume 3, expect unexplored varietals, fresh wine regions and a whole new batch of stories. Everything’s new… except the idiot.
