Looking for a laid back and hilarious take on wine tasting? TV personality, award-winning sommelier and comedian, Laurie Forster, delivers an off-beat hilarious show where wine meets punch lines. In her show, Forster peels back the labels of a customized selection of wines for your guests and exposes the truth of her life in the wine business and as a mom in suburban hell. Relax with a glass (or five!) of wine, because with Forster there are no formalities when it comes to drinking. This is a "tasting" you will never forget.

Show includes interactive wine tasting comedy show, tastings of 5 wines, light fare and unlimited laughs!
