This meetup combines two of my favorite things:  Comedy and Drinking. The Minneapolis area has several great venues for live comedy including standup, improv, and sketch, so let's experience it and make some new friends at the same time. The Minneapolis area also has a number of wineries and wine bars.  I like wine, but drinking alone has such a social stigma, so Meetup to the rescue.  Expect to see events at wineries, wine bars, restaurants with nice wine lists, and maybe even a wine bus.
