Haak Vineyards & Winery

Since 1969, when Gladys Haak gave her husband Raymond two grapevines to celebrate their 10th anniversary, the couple's namesake vineyard has flourished into 1,800 vines sprawling across three acres. Galveston County's first and only winery currently transforms Blanc du Bois grapes into award-winning potions that have earned the attention of the Houston Press and the Dallas Observer. Whether sipped onsite or at various shops and restaurants, the wines grace glasses with a diverse mélange of local blends. Custom labels can be commissioned to personalize each bottle with heartfelt dedications or nutritional information written in iambic pentameter.

The vineyard welcomes thirsty visitors with tours of their verdant vines, 25,000-square-foot workshop, and deli stocked with Boar's Head meats and pungent cheese. Frequent guests reap the exclusive benefits of the winery’s San Pasqual Wine Club memberships, coordinated by Yvette Schmiz, which include invitations to special events, first tastings, discounts, and complementary bottles. An event-ready banquet space also sets the scene for memorable weddings and events, with the winery’s chef Kim Johnson overseeing catering duties, cake cuttings, and the busboys’ a capella performance of “Take My Breath Away."

The Groupon Guide to: Capitalism

America is the greatest capitalism in the world. Every day we defeat the tyrant beast by living capitalism lifestyle. Know what your capitalism is with this knowledge:

Supply and Demand: The government supplies us with everything we need, but consumers always demand even more. Our capitalist society will only thrive when inhabitants stop wanting more and start knowing that their leaders are daddies who just want to best for them.

Free Market: This idea comes from French laissez-faire (fair for the lazy). At this monthly market all oats and grains are free if you just tell a government employee three compliments on government employee strength.

Economic Growth: Capitalism grows the economy by kindly letting its people pursue business ventures, this would be like flag stores, bread distribution centers, and plastics factories for the making of presidential and vice presidential figurines.

Redeeming Coupons: Maybe you got some coupons from Unsanctioned Free-Speech Newspaper? These are redeemable for many good prizes and absolutely no jail time, if only you bring them to: The Government Jail, 14 Government Jail Road, Washington, DC, The Most United States.

What is the best capitalism of the world?
