On Monday, May 14, at 6 p.m., guests will gather at the California Museum to sample sparkling wines from celebrated local producers, contrasting those with sips of European champagne, cava, and prosecco. A down-home pairing of fried chicken from La Condesa Napa Valley complements the refined liquid buffet.

Vintage champagne, local wines, and tasting excursions will go home with the winners of silent auctions, with all proceeds from the night benefitting Wine to Water. This CNN-lauded nonprofit devotes itself to providing clean water and sanitation systems to needy people throughout the world, including Sudan, Uganda, and Haiti.

MSix Wine Group

After sampling the fruits of France's Bordeaux, Burgundy, and Champagne viticulture regions, friends and entrepreneurs Jordan Rasmussen, Matt Iaconis, and Edward Brown founded a winery of their own. Shunning the corner-cutting, crass commercialism, and cabernet-fueled buyout binges of large corporate wineries, the trio practices the craft with a passion—concocting mouthwatering still and sparkling wines from local harvests. The hardworking vintners invest plenty of time and effort into every batch of bubbly or vino, proudly displaying the fruits of their labors to the public with lively tastings and soirees.

The Groupon Guide to: Hallucinations

Whether due to fatigue, anesthetic dentist gas, or aimless desert wandering, everybody experiences a terrifying and/or euphoric hallucination at some point in their lives. Keep this guide close in order to survive the experience without succumbing to madness:

Keep Calm: Most hallucinations can be confronted by simply acknowledging them and moving on—for instance, if your roommate begins to expand into a translucent cerulean pyramid, don't make the rookie mistake of trying to climb him. Instead, remind yourself, "That's just Matt. There's no gold in Matt."

Stay Close to Your Halluci-Buddy: A halluci-buddy can keep you grounded in the real world while you confront the terrifying universes inside of you. Remember to never let go of their hand, even if it turns into a brass clockwork tentacle where the individual suckers are the faces of tiny watches.

Don't Read Into Symbolism: Sometimes hallucinations can lay your private anxieties bare as visual metaphors, but just as often they're completely random. Or, to paraphrase Dr. Freud, "Sometimes a cigar is just your computer keyboard turning into a giant, skittering centipede, and sometimes the clacking of its carapace is just you composing an e-mail to your boss that you won't remember sending."

What percentage of hallucinations turn out to be real?
