If grapes could talk, they'd recount their dreams, the first time they got plucked, and the first time they felt victimized by nature's rumor mill—the vine. Taste the tales of the grape with today's Groupon: for $59, you get six bottles of wine shipped to any location in California from Mountain View Vintners (a $120 value, including tax and shipping).

Building on an idea that first fruited in the Burgundy and Bordeaux regions of France, Mountain View Vintners is one of California's first négociant wineries, curating, blending, and aging a collection of grapes from a variety of vigorously vetted vineyards to create succulent spirits. Aged in French oak barrels for 10 months, three bottles of 2009 Mountain View Carneros Pinot Noir (a $16.99 value per bottle) drop onto doorsteps, tempting palates with cherry and plum aromas, an oak finish, and tales of brief affairs with myriad mailpeople. Three bottles of 2009 Mountain View Monterey Chardonnay (a $12.99 value per bottle) jump into the mix, boasting the aromas of tropical fruits and crisp acidity. Both wines promise to please if opened immediately but also mature nicely in the bottle, so, unlike petulant genies, they won't throw tantrums if their owners decide to wait years to release them.
