Napa and Tuscany may be beyond our reach right now, but that doesn't mean we can't have a lovely wine tasting experience at home.

Argaux's Blind Tasting Kit is a must for serious vino lovers as well as those looking for a way to expand their palate.

Missing your favorite neighborhood bar and trying out local brews? Common Space Brewery has got you covered. For a minimum of six people, they'll send you and your friends a variety of craft beers.

Since the EW staff couldn't gather in person for a 2020 holiday party, we turned to Virtual Escape Global, formed teams, and had an absolute blast solving puzzles and riddles in order to escape our virtual rooms in a certain amount of time.
