Card Game

New Yorkers are undoubtedly into their wine. But how much do any of us really know about wine? There's a fun new game called wineSMARTS that will both test and teach. It comes with 100 question/answer cards in four categories—vocabulary, grape, region and wild card—a score pad, and a wine "tips" guide. The winner is the first person to answer three questions correctly in each of the four categories, but it's just as fun to ask questions of each other while sitting around the dinner table. An example: What was the original champagne coupe (saucer-style) glass modeled after? (You'll never guess!) Marie Antoinette's breast! ($22.95)
