Wines work best when properly paired: reds go with beef, whites go with fish, and champagnes go with cups made out of upturned party hats. Impersonate a sommelier with this Groupon: for $29, you get $80 worth of wine from Barclay's Wine, an online shop that will deliver directly to your home or office. This deal is good for new, current, and previous Barclay's customers.
Offering vintages from a host of regions and styles, Barclay's Wine breaks down the borders that separate winemakers from customers through home delivery of the world's top varietals. A staff of well-traveled oenophiles travels the globe, distilling knowledge about superior vintages and the individuals that make them into an online database searchable by style, varietal, region, winery, or price range. Line wine-cellar walls for less than $15 a bottle, stocking up on easy-drinking 2011 New World chardonnay ($13.95) or 2010 Kiyapura ($13.95), forged from robust Chilean grapes that cliff-dive off the Andes in the off-season.
Experts can offer subtle and standout bottles with a slightly higher price tag, or combine vast collections into mixed cases that bring together representatives from a stellar vineyard or collections of staff favorites. Customers can also apply the value of this Groupon to a Wine Experience, which comes with 12 bottles, specific tasting notes, and a Magic Decanter (an additional $49.95 plus $19.95 for shipping). Thorough online descriptions add a backstory to each wine offered, revealing flavor notes, growing condition of its grapes, and anecdotes from the elderly raisins that helped to raise them.
Groupon Says
The Groupon Guide to: Ferrari Ownership
Once you ascend to the exciting and dignified world of Ferrari ownership, you’ll notice that food tastes better, the air smells sweeter, and dunks are 73% raunchier. Here are some tips that will prolong the life of your Sweet Kitten (an official slang term for Ferraris):
Give the Brake a Break: This Hot Baby (official Ferrari slang [OFS]) was made to fly, not obey traffic rules. Remember, most police officers/angry parents really only want their picture taken next to your Ferrari.
Clean the Sheen on Your Mean Machine: Don’t take this Thunder Nugget (OFS) to any two-bit car-washing place. A ride this primo should be wiped down with the fontanel of a newborn horse, or, at least, an underwear model’s birth certificate.
Full Moon = Full Vroom: If the moon is in its full phase, then pull your Phantom Tickler (OFS) out of the drive-in humidor and let her howl at the moon by revving that imported engine. Let the neighbors know who’s boss while simultaneously expelling the (now on fire) owls who like to nest in the Ferrari's gorgeous chassis.
Endorse the Horse: Ferrari makes clothes and sunglasses with its signature horse logo that you can wear to let people know that you drive one of their Velvet Grandpas (OFS).
