    Event description

    Somm Like it Hot - Wine Guru & Funny Man Merrick Watts Hosts a Boozy BBQ Seafood Brunch

    Fun. Times. Ahead.
    Join comedian, presenter, broadcaster and actual qualified wine expert, Merrick Watts, for a delicious deep-dive into all things boozy and brunchy at Olio. The decadent Sicilian Coast-inspired seafood brunch by award-winning chef Lino Sauro will be accompanied by 5 matching wine tastings selected by Merrick. Additional drinks can be purchased to kick back and relax with friends. 

    After a life-changing encounter with a glass of phenomenal wine in 1999, Merrick became obsessed with vino. In fact, his love for the drop was so intense he created a company, Grapes of Mirth, to bring comedy and wine together. While people might know Merrick best for TV shows like The Project and Hughesy We Have a Problem, or his radio program Merrick and Rosso (with Modernister, Tim Ross), ​​Merrick is a qualified wine expert with a level three WSET (Wine and Spirit Education Trust) award and a Barossa Master qualification. He’s toured with his comedy show An Idiot’s Guide to Wine and even curated a Broadsheet Wine Box.

    While Merrick has you in stitches, you’ll be feasting on a menu of freshly shucked Sydney Rock Appellation oysters, barbequed scallops, octopus, squid and prawns, and bowls of crab and 'Nduja gnocchetti. The menu by Olio’s Sicilian-born Sauro will have you thinking you’re on holiday on one of the Mediterranean's most gorgeous Island - all the while quaffing wines chosen by Merrick himself.
