Wine can function as a social lubricant and conversation starter, especially if you seal off a cocktail party and slowly fill the room with it. Uncork a good time with this Groupon.

Choose from Three Options

  • $25 for 1 wine-tasting class with cheese pairings (a $50 value)
  • $99 for 5 wine-tasting classes with cheese pairings (a $400 value)
  • $175 for 10 wine-tasting classes with cheese pairings (an $700 value)

At the start of each 60-minute class, groups spend 20 minutes sipping wine as they get to know their instructor, Jacquey. Jacquey discusses regional flavors, serving techniques, and how to determine a wine's taste from its bottle. Groups also sample tapas or cheeses with wines to learn about food pairings. Classes take place Monday and Wednesday from 1 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. and 7 p.m. to 8:30p.m., and Sunday from 3 p.m. to 4:30 p.m.

Proud Wineaux

Jacquey, the Dallas-born connoisseur behind Proud Wineaux, can tell whether a wine originated on the right bank or left bank of the city of Bordeaux simply by tasting it. This isn't just a party trick or a way to navigate France while blindfolded; it's evidence of a decade spent up front and behind the scenes at renowned restaurants such as Nobu, Dean Fearing's The Mansion on Turtle Creek, and various New York City hot spots, where she shares her gifts as a wine and beverage consultant.

During one-on-one or group classes, she helps students explore the world of wine in a friendly environment free of pretension. "The moment you begin to release the fear of not knowing, the learning begins," she says on her website. She teaches her students to pair wines with cheeses according to their region or the texture of the cheese.

The Groupon Guiding Light: Real Advice for Real People

It is incumbent upon the learned of a society to help those with lesser cranial machinations. That is why we have started The Groupon Guiding Light: Real Advice for Real People. Because here at The Groupon Guide, we know that Knowledge Is Helping™. (To receive your own Groupon Guiding Light in the next installment, email a problem that needs advice to cat@groupon.com.)

Problem:
Dear TGGL:RAFRP,
My daughter is in love with a real LOSER! Should I respect her feelings and support her decision or forget about her altogether?

—Unhappy Mom

Guiding Light: Unhap P. Mom, you did the right thing by writing us. Your daughter is in love with a loser?!?!? Those guys are the worst. They never win anything, not even once. And the fact that this guy is a real loser means he’s not even a winner disguised as a loser. Oh boy, Unhap, this is serious. Losers do terrible things such as accidentally sell the farm for a fake car or miss the winning field goal in the football game. If she’s kissed him, it means by rule of law that she is now a loser, too. Rid her from your life by moving into a gated community or going somewhere losers can’t go, such as a hall of fame or a casino that is also a boat. We all know the old saying: "For it is upon thee to cast the weak off into darkness, like the miller who sets the chaff to flame, or the heifer who leaveth the ugliest calf behind to be taken by the night’s hungry creatures."

Problem:
Dear TGGL:RAFRP,
I am supposed to go on a really cool ski trip with my dad, but my wife is pregnant with our first child and the due date conflicts with the trip. What do I tell my dad?
—Chris R.

Guiding Light: Best to keep the baby away from your father. At his age and proximity to—how to put this gently—eternal sleep, your father could easily become jealous and rage-ified toward someone who has so much life ahead of them. Rather than taking the pregnant woman on the trip, let her just have the baby at the hospital. She’ll be fine. Hospitals are clean and sterile, and sometimes the doctors sleep with each other, which creates entertaining dramatic intrigue. You just make sure to enjoy what sounds like a really cool trip with your dad.

Problem:
Dear TGGL:RAFRP,
I sing bass in a barbershop quartet that is competing in an international quartet competition. Can you give me any pointers that would help me/my quartet have a memorable performance and might help us achieve top honors?
—A. Stratton

Guiding Light: Thanks for the letter, "Stratton in Baton" (Rouge, Louisiana, I'm assuming). Growing up can be difficult—and scary. Sometimes the person you think you are isn't who you're good at being, and sometimes the people who we think we want to get the farthest away from are actually the people who can teach us the most. Try to strike a balance between your goals and your obligations and, in the end, you may find out there's more overlap there than you realize.

I didn't read your letter.

We’re so helpful to everybody with everything.
