Wine comedy comes to City Winery

NEW YORK - June 27, 2018 - PRLog -- The topic of wine often conjures up images of snooty socialites with pinkies raised or condescending sommeliers who correct your French. On the heels of her recent appearance at the HBO Women in Comedy Festival, Laurie Forster aka The Standup Sommelier® intends to change all that with her groundbreaking wine tasting comedy entitled "Something to Wine About" coming to the City Winery on Thursday, July 26, 2018 at 8:30PM.

TV personality, award-winning sommelier and comedian, Laurie Forster, delivers an off-beat hilarious show where wine meets punch lines. During the show, Forster peels back the labels of some of her favorite wines and exposes the truth of her life in the wine business. As a laid-back mom, wine expert and former Jersey girl, Forster doesn't hold back. Her straightforward opinions on wine and life with her famous chef husband in "suburban hell" are grounded, truthful and hilarious.

"Something to Wine About" is an original wine tasting comedy show that appeals to wide audiences including buttoned up conservatives, stir crazy stay-at-home Moms and even the cast of Duck Dynasty. A combination of standup comedy, wine tasting, games and improvisation, Forster has created a show that even beer drinkers will love.

Laurie's unstuffy approach to wine also packs a punch line with a powerful message. While teaching her audiences how to savor every last drop, they also learn it's more important to trust their own personal taste than to follow the opinions of experts. Funny advice coming from a sommelier and her audiences love the honesty.

Tickets for the show are $20-25 and include wine tastings as well as the show and can be purchased at https://citywinery.com/theloft/laurie-forster-wine-coach-... or by calling (212) 608-0555. Limited seating is available; advance purchase is suggested.
