Appalachian Dracula was famously quoted as saying, "I never drink…moonshine." Teach the original Dracula a thing or two with today's deal: for $10, you get one wine tasting at Colorado Wine Company, located in Eagle Rock (a $20 value). This tasting is exclusive to Groupon and takes place every Tuesday night from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. until the Groupon expires.
A retail shop outfitted with a tasting bar, Colorado Wine Company is run by owners John and Jennifer Nugent, who offer a friendly, laid-back environment for mingling and sipping. Each Tuesday night, fervent taste buds will traipse through a flight of four wines, presented specifically by the wines' importers and winemakers. Artisanal cheeses from Auntie Em's Cheese Shop are on hand to complement and flatter each glass and palate, and you can purchase bottles (many under $25) to re-create tastings at home for dinner guests and monocle-wearing cats.
The shop's intimate interior features modern, sleek décor, including shelves lined with eager bottles and comfortable, mid-century-inspired furnishings. Reservations are required, so call ahead to claim your spot.
This Groupon is not valid on November 23 or December 21.
