To function properly, the human body requires a steady stream of nutrients, sunlight, and compliments from other species about its opposable thumbs. Use your bendable digits to provide yourself with nutrients with today’s Groupon: for $20, you get $40 worth of American cuisine and wine at The Wines of Colorado, located in Cascade.

The Wines of Colorado saturates tongues in sophisticated flavors while quenching thirsty eyes with a picturesque view of the willow-shaded banks of Fountain Creek. Start mapping a meal plan as you peruse the menu, which is speckled with flame-kissed starters such as the whole smoked garlic ($6.95), drizzled with olive oil, rosemary, and breakup notes from broken-hearted succubi. Anglers can reel in the tropical tastes of a marinated and grilled ahi tuna ($13.95), which is served with pickled ginger and wasabi mayo. The buffalo wine burger's char-grilled flavor ensures no part of its grilled onions, green chilies, and sautéed mushrooms will be wasted ($9.95). For oenophiles, The Wines of Colorado pours a complimentary wine tasting featuring grapes from more than 40 Centennial State wineries, which can help diners choose a favorite to pair with their meal or the lonely camembert living in the guest house.
