To make un-fine wine, simply place grapes beneath a silk pillow, repeatedly mash your head against it, and then wring the pillowcase into a nearby mouth. Taste traditionally produced fine wines with today’s Groupon: for $5, you get a 10-flight wine tasting for two, plus 25% off purchases at Redhawk Vineyard & Winery (a $10 Value).

Nestled among the crawling vines and rich views of the Willamette Valley, Redhawk gives wine hunters a cornucopia of notes to subtly detect—or thoughtlessly sip—in the accessible, informal tasting room. Curious tongues will cavort with the last whispers of grapes, such as "I have chocolate undertones," and "is the wireless grapevine down again?" at a wine tasting consisting of four white wines, three pinot noirs, one red blended wine, one syrah and one dessert wine. In the event that any wines—like the earthy 2008 Grateful Red Pinot Noir ($15 per bottle), the fruit-laced 2007 Stainless Steel Chardonnay ($12 per bottle) or the peppery 2008 Columbia Valley Syrah ($16)—catch the tongue, feel free to adopt a bounding bottle of joy at discount of 25% off the total purchase.

Reviews

While there are no online reviews, Redhawk Vineyard & Winery was featured in Wine Trail Traveler:

• Pinot Noir Reserve had a red cherry nose and taste. It was smooth on the mouth feel with a crisp finish and lingering fruit aftertaste. – K.L. Sullivan, Wine Trail Traveler
