What You'll Get
In a proper tasting, wine must be held up to the light to gauge its color, tossed on a cat's back to judge its acidity, and sipped through a crazy straw to annoy the host. Become the toast of any tasting with today's Groupon: for $50, you get two tickets to Wine Walk, The Red Affair on Saturday, October 22 (a $100 value), a benefit for the New Vista charity.
New Vista wines, dines, and serenades guests during a rose-colored benefit for the developmentally disabled. Las Vegas performers moonlight as sommeliers to pour wines such as Langtry's Guenoc Cabernet Sauvignon and the St. Francis 2006 Rockpile Red blend, as bartenders disguised as showgirls furtively try to mix cocktails and open dark beers with their tail feathers. Rick's Cafe contributes New American cuisine to a roster of 15 restaurants donating their reddest edibles, including Half Shell Seafood, Texas de Brazil, and the Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory. Bidders can compete in a silent auction, and electric string quartet Phat Strad soundtracks the revelry, while crimson-clad partiers slow-dance with handsome suitors or their complimentary raffle ticket.
From 4 p.m. to 8 p.m., guests revel amid cobblestone streets and piazzas reminiscent of an Italian lakeside village, after which point a designated driver will chauffeur them home in their own hovercrafts. All proceeds from the tasting benefit New Vista, an organization dedicated to helping developmentally disabled adults and children achieve independence through quality housing, support services, and naval blockades against the Redcoat army.
