Wine + Comedy

I believe that wine should never be intimidating, despite its reputation. When I was studying to become a Sommelier, I found the process of breaking down the characteristics of wine to be simple and fun – but I realized it’s not often presented like that! So I made it my mission to do something that very few Somms have done: make wine fun, informative, and most importantly, entertaining!

 

With a blend of solid wine info and comedy, you’ll be sure to taste, laugh, and learn! 

SERVICES

RENT A SOMM

PRIVATE WINE TASTING

Travel around the world from the comfort of your own home with my interactive private wine tastings. With curated wines specific to the tastes of you and your guests, you’ll learn about trends, wine history, and why cheap wine might just taste expensive (and vice versa!) With an experienced sommelier and stand-up comedian wrapped into one laugh out loud package, there’s lots to laugh about and lots to learn about.

​

Events can include anything from birthday parties and bridal showers to corporate events or holiday get-togethers.

CONCIERGE TOURS

CORPORATE EVENTS

When you invest in my concierge services, you’re not just getting to work with THE California Wine Guy. You’re getting a white-glove service designed to provide you with a plan to get the most out of the Napa/Sonoma, Santa Barbara  or Central Coast wine areas.  Use your vacation time to the fullest and get the most out of your wine experience.  Discover the secret to  the perfect trip to Napa without going in circles and feeling completely overwhelmed.  After a quick interview via email or phone, I’ll put together the perfect trip for one or more people based on your likes, budget, and time frame.

Bring the fun of an interactive, private wine tasting to your next office party or team bonding experience with a curated, private event. I'll serve wines from all around the world, Humor is the name of the game- no boring lectures. This a fun, historical trip around the wine world. Indulge in some friendly competition with "blind tasting" Guess That Wine games, learn a lot, laugh a little more, and most of all... have fun!

ABOUT PATRICK

As a certified sommelier, with over two decades working in some of Los Angeles' most notable restaurants, I bring a fresh twist on the typical wine tasting experience. Marrying my career as a stand-up comedian with my overflowing knowledge of the great wines of the world, I'm excited to share this my love of all things vino at your next party, fundraiser, or event and teach you how to break down wine just like the pros! 

As a Somm I've traveled to Spain, France, Italy, and made dozens of excursions to California's wine country areas. My comedy career has taken me across the country, with appearances on Comedy Central, Chelsea Lately, and comedy clubs from Los Angeles to Chicago to New York.
