Societal norms dictate that in order to fully enjoy a fine wine, you must first swirl it, smell it, and marry it before allowing it to make contact with your lips. Take the tannin-laden plunge with today's Groupon to Hoodsport Winery, located one mile south of Hoodsport. Choose between the following options:

• For $15, you get a wine tasting for two (a $30 value).
• For $62, you get two bottles of pinot noir and a box of truffles (a $120.93 value), which can be picked up at the winery or ordered for delivery (not included).

Hoodsport Winery stimulates the eyes, mouth, and the rest of the seven senses with its Washington State wines and scenic views of the Hood Canal and Olympic Mountains. Customers coming in for a tasting will enjoy a quintet of fermented grape juices meticulously gathered and cultivated to ensure unambiguous flavor. Those who prefer to wine and wine on their own time will become proud parents of twin bottles of pinot noir (a $99.98 value), a well-balanced red mysteriously infused with flavors of toasted oak, blueberry, and cherry, which pairs excellently with chicken or deep-fried copies of Double Indemnity. A large chocolate-truffle gift box ($20.95) completes the meal with four dark and four milk-chocolate candies, each one the perfect size for hand-feeding a loved one or melting down for bathing.
