Hello, Hope your day is epic. Thank you for stopping by!
We present world-class stand-up comedy at some of the most sought-after wineries in Sonoma County and the Napa Valley.
Our company launched in the Sonoma Valley to sold out audiences during "harvest/crush" of 2014. As you may have already noticed, our niche is comedy and wine.
Our company embraces a 'spirit of cooperation' in which individuals and organizations live and work together for the common good.
We recognize that each team member and business partner is vital to our company’s success, and that their loyalty and motivation are the means by which we will succeed. Our team understands that human imagination is our only unlimited resource.
Our motto: Macerate in comedy - be a part of the laughter movement in wine country!
If you weren't sure, maceration is the winemaking process where the phenolic materials of the grape—tannins, coloring agents (anthocyanins) and flavor compounds—are leached from the grape skins, seeds and stems into the must. To macerate is to soften by soaking, and maceration is the process by which the red wine receives its red color, since raw grape juice is clear-grayish in color. In the production of white wines, maceration is either avoided or allowed only in very limited manner in the form of a short amount of skin contact with the juice prior to pressing.
