What You'll Get
Jump to: Reviews | Schrödinger's Cork
Sniff and swirl today's Groupon, which gets you $40 worth of drinks and food for $20 at Uncorked: The Unpretentious Wine Bar in Scottsdale. Uncorked's wine menu boasts 50 unique wines by the glass and bottle, and offers close to 20 different flights in three 3-ounce pours.
Try a zinfandel flight or a red dessert wine flight. Uncorked has domestic and international red wines, white wines, and red and white wines to suit the palate of any drinker of colorful fermented grapes. Best of all, Uncorked's wines work with all types of wine noses.
Uncorked is an unpretentious, nonchalant bar with warm tones and dim lighting, making it an ideal spot for exchanging stolen microchips. The food menu is designed to perfectly complement the wines. They serve specially selected cheese trays (including manchego, camembert, and blueberry stilton), sandwiches (such as a roasted red pepper panini), salads (smoked trout, poached pear, and more), and delicious desserts (such as a blackberry tart with vanilla ice cream). Plus, there are five types of beer on tap, if you're not the uncorking type.

Schrödinger's Cork
Adults of all ages, and children throughout Europe, enjoy the taste and feelings that accompany a glass of wine. There's only one problem: Wine doesn't exist. Fortunately, through sheer force of will, most aficionados are able to overcome this minor obstacle to fully enjoy their wine experience. Here's a step-by-step process for the uninitiated:
Step 1: You must believe in the wine. Envision the empty glass as a soulless, unguided universe on a slow and senseless collision with a wall of futility represented by the implosion of spacetime. Now picture some wine in it.
Step 2: Summon smells from your childhood to round out the palette. Some common choices include fresh-cut grass, Christmas morning, and new school supplies.
Step 3: By now, the wine should appear to you, looking and smelling real and delicious. The illusion will be so powerful, you may even feel a slight intoxicating effect, so please imagine responsibly.
