In a proper tasting, wine must be held up to the light to gauge its color, tossed on a cat's back to judge its acidity, and sipped through a crazy straw to annoy the host.

Vino enthusiasts savor a trio of Indian Creek Orchard Winery & Grille's homemade apple wine or local vintages, interspersing sips with gourmet bites of locally caught rainbow trout, sausage, and artisanal cheeses during the orchard's wine tastings. Crafted from apples and fruit grown on-site and at local vineyards, the orchard's rotating selection of wines immerses taste buds in the fermented flavors of honeycrisp apples blended with grapes or spices to fashion seasonal vintages such as Indian Summer Blush and semi-sweet Autumncrisp. Once guests have honed in on their favorite vintage, a $20 wine credit per pair helps tasters restock their wine collections without the hassle of milking a bushel of grapes every dawn.

The Groupon Guide to: Obsolete Furniture
As styles and technology change, some of the living room furniture you're sitting on or crying into right now may one day become outdated. Here's a look at some once-ubiquitous furniture no longer found in most homes:
Beanbag Chairs: Once the pinnacle of comfortable luxury, beanbag chairs were the centerpiece of Cornelius Vanderbilt's fabulous Manhattan Pyramid.
Spittoons: Today's more genteel tobacco chewers simply spit into the nearest pet-food bowl.
Love Seats: Most divorce settlements require all co-owned love seats to be destroyed with a sledgehammer.
Carpeting: Modern homes instead feature a swarm of nanobots that can constitute themselves into a soft rug, a mind-clearing bed of nails, or an exact replica of Pierce Brosnan that, like the real actor, can cry, sweat, or vomit on cue.
Courtesy Commodes, a.k.a. Chamber Pots: It may be more sanitary to use the bathroom in a separate, dedicated room, but it's a lot less fun.
