A party, like the checkout line at a grocery store, is a place to converse over food, catch up on gossip, and toss handfuls of money into the air. Brush up on social etiquette with today's Groupon: for $32, you get one ticket to the Wine on White party presented by Maniac Magazine at The Wine Loft on Thursday, July 14 from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. (a $50 value).

Maniac Magazine's Wine on White party invites locals to mingle in style with their fellow partygoers in celebration of the latest installment of the magazine, a glossy devoted to fashion, art, and entertainment. Once inside The Wine Loft, guests sip through six specialty wine tastings and chew a slew of appetizers and desserts. Attendees must come dressed in white to better frame artful wine spills. The Wine Loft's spacious interior sets conversation and refreshment in an ambient glow. Customers can sit at the high-top bar or lie low in the lounge's soft, beige chairs. The loft sets a different tone with an upper lounge suited to contented murmurs and firing mounted T-shirt cannons.
