During the show you will drink along with Mez as he takes you on a wine flight, showing six great Innocent Bystander wines, each with a story, food match and tasting notes to boot.

After the show the team at Innocent Bystander will put on a delicious three course-meal to round out this perfect Saturday afternoon activity.

Whether you are a connoisseur or an enthusiast, there is something for everyone. Comedy meets wine, laughter meets learning, and you get to drink! What more could you want?

Merrick Watts is a loved radio host and has appeared on TV shows like 'The Project', 'Hughesy, We Have a Problem', and was one of the winners of 'SAS Australia' in 2020.
