Unlike tequila shots and shotgunned root beer floats, wine is a slow sip, making it a more enjoyable libation. Take your time, take some cheese, and take a break with today's deal: for $22, you get a wine and cheese tasting at B.R. Cohn Winery, a scenic winery located about an hour and a half north of downtown in Glen Ellen.

During a one-hour wine and cheese tasting, palates take flight across four of B.R. Cohn's flagship wines, each paired with a specific selection of Sonoma County artisan cheese. Sonoma, an area known for producing rich, flavorful wines and equally delicious edibles, is the lovechild of the best parents nature has to offer. Its fields benefit from nourishing underground hot springs—a key factor in fending off frost—and a bounty of sunshine resulting from nearby, coastal-fog-clearing mountains. In honor of this natural wonder, tasters can focus deeply during their visit, mentally honoring the complex process and flavor of each nibble and waft. Allow the sensorial waves to hit your brain's jubilation receptors like a vengeance-driven baseball bat into the side of a luxury mystery-mobile.

If a particular pairing or fermented beverage catches the tongue of any attending enthusiast, B.R. Cohn's attentive staff will happily nab another bottle from the cellar and adorn its elegant label with a 20%-off price tag. Tastings are by appointment only—call ahead to schedule your date with the natural world's sweetest secretions.

Must be 21 or older. Offer for 20% off excludes purchases from sale, Library, and Vertical wines.
