Monthly wine-certification courses help introduce students to the fundamentals of serving and enjoying wine. Master sommeliers lead live seminars and create online reference materials for a range of topics, including what to look for when tasting and assessing a wine, how to cellar bottles, and how to successfully pair wines with food. After the last lesson, students can choose to take an online test and earn a signed certificate from the master sommeliers if they pass. Chef jackets ship in 7 to 10 business days.

VinNobles

Barrie Larvin dedicated his entire career to curating elegant wine experiences. His efforts in building Rio Las Vegas Hotel and Casino’s 130,000-bottle wine selection earned him mentions in Wine Spectator and Food & Wine Magazine. As the current president of VinNobles, Mr. Larvin’s goal is to expose seasoned tasters and aspiring connoisseurs alike to small-production wineries. His team of Master Sommeliers hand-selects and ships bottles to three tiers of members, seeking out exciting cult producers as well as exclusive bottlings that aren’t made available to retailers. Each package arrives at doorsteps with a wealth of background information for each bottle that provides invaluable insight into the winemaking process while also suggesting food pairings.

While the wine memberships help people experience new wines on a monthly basis, VinNobles’ certification courses expose them to a crash course on wine basics. During the online seminars, a master sommelier explains the fundamentals of tasting and assessing wines and also answers questions about getting wine stains out of pet fur.

The Groupon Guide to: Bettering Yourself

Everyone starts as a blank canvas, but fortunately, life provides us with all the colors needed to paint a masterpiece. Here are some things you can do every week to fulfill your destiny as a painting metaphor:

  • Make a new recipe. Mixing different kinds of cereal together counts.

  • Read a kind of book you wouldn't normally read. Maybe the instruction book for a vacuum you no longer own, or if you don't have any books, staple a bunch of menus together and say that's a book.

  • Quit a bad habit. We all love waking up in the middle of the night to break every single one of our dishes, but when you think about it, is it really doing us any good?

  • Get involved in your community. See which of your neighbors leave their doors unlocked and surprise them by spilling one of your new cereal recipes all over their floor.

  • Exercise. Chase every animal you see. They would do it to you if they had the guts.

Can two different kinds of cereal in one bowl lead to a better you?
