In a Nutshell

Groups of 10–20 students gain groundwork of recognizing varietals, wine regions & food pairings as they sample sips & light appetizers

The Fine Print

  • Limit 1 per person, may buy 9 additional as gifts. Limit 1 per visit. Valid only for option purchased. Must be 21 or older.

Choose from Three Options

  • $15 for a Wine 101 class for one person (a $30 value)
  • $29 for a Wine 101 class for two people (a $60 value)
  • $55 for a Wine 101 class for four people (a $120 value)

Held on Wednesday at 7 p.m, one-hour Wine 101 classes for groups of 10–20 students cover varietals, major producing regions, pairings, and choosing bottles. Most classes are led Rachael Buehrer, one of The Vino Gallery's owners. The cost includes wine flights and notes.

The Vino Gallery

The Vino Gallery—located in a renovated police substation in the Central West End—houses an impressive selection of small-production and artisan wines, beers, and other libations amid an ever-evolving collection of local art. The staff guides visitors to the tasting bar or the outdoor patio, allowing guests to sample selections and avoid pouring wines they don’t like into a roommate’s humidifier. Rachael Buehrer, wine enthusiast and educator, and coowner Alex Head, promote informed wine consumption with complimentary tastings after 5 p.m., Monday–Friday, and all day on Saturday. One-hour wine classes lend imbibers further wine expertise, and the wine-of-the-month club helps customers branch out from go-to varietals.

The Groupon Guide to: Famous Hats

Every historical figure of any significance wore a now instantly recognizable hat, synonymous with their name:

  • The Napoleon Hat: Military bicorn, worn side to side or "athwart" to serve as a better perch for enlisted falcons
  • The Benjamin Franklin Hat: Small brass beanie with a large conductive spire jutting out of it, topped with a small eyelet for tethering a kite
  • The Davy Crockett Hat: Famously a strict vegetarian, Crockett's "coonskin" was actually just a matted blob of reeds and buffalo chips that he moistened hourly from his canteen
  • The Hercules Hat: Just a minotaur skull

Honorable Mention: Jughead's "hat" from the Archie comics is actually a crown (?) made of gray paper (?) with miscellaneous shapes affixed to it. Details remain vague because it is proven that overscrutinizing Jughead's hat makes you go insane.

Which historical figure had the most famous hat? The answer may surprise you.

Reviews

  • Rarity doesn't necessarily correlate with expensive, though, and the Vino Gallery's inventory has a wide selection at the value end of the spectrum.

  • I love their selection as well as the staff. I truly appreciate dealing with a staff that can intelligently discuss every wine they sell.
