Indulge Wine School's staff of educators expands wine knowledge with ease, having turned the revelry-steeped tassels of more than 1,800 graduates. Classes of 12–20 take place in such venues as Portland Prime Steakhouse, and follow trained professionals through a glassy meadow of six different wines, including red, white, sparkling, and dessert varietals. Grape elixirs may include bottles from Nexus Wines and Barnard Griffin.
During the course of 2.5 hours, students swirl and sip their study materials, nibble complimentary appetizers, and fill their mental trivia tanks with factoids on the history and production of wine, different grapes, and appropriate word choices for commenting on an unfamiliar wine's legs. Every class ends with a question-and-answer session, during which potation professors shine a light on oenophilic mysteries such as tannin content, regional differences, and how to lead a horse to wine but keep him from drinking it. Afterward, students continue to explore fermented philosophies at home with a complimentary electronic copy of Indulge's book A Fun and Informative Introduction to the Wonderful World of Wine, a food and wine-pairing chart, and a top ten list of wine-buying tips.

The Groupon Guide to: Forgotten Video Games
As more and more video games are rebooted, sequeled, and adapted into hit procedural dramas and breakfast pastries, some 8-bit classics have fallen by the wayside. What are some classic video games you forgot to remember?
• Battle Brothers (ActivoVision, 1989): In this high-octane punch 'em up, two rad brothers (Clint and Vortex) must survive a concrete gauntlet in order to rescue the president’s stolen bike.
Forgotten Fact: In Battle Brothers, both players could accidentally cause damage to each other, resulting in exciting real-life fistfights between real-life brothers.
• Swords & Squares (Dønderhuff ElectroPublishing, 1981): This brain-enhancing game of medieval strategy pits dueling royal courts against each other, and bestows players with a dot-matrix certificate at the end that assigns performance-based ranks, ranging from Knight of the Round to Horsepox Survivor.
Forgotten Fact: Game is essentially chess.
• Olympics® '87! (Pixellius, 1986): You play as Torcho®, the Olympic Torch®, as he is passed hand-to-hand between different athletes on his globetrotting journey. Don’t tip over and set their sweat-slicked hair ablaze!
Forgotten Fact: Not affiliated with the Olympics in any way, Olympics® '87 holds the record for video game most frequently mentioned in court transcripts.
