Sun Singer News
In Brief
January is filled with activity and new beginnings. While we'll find ourselves in the deep freeze this week, hopefully we can expect a thaw next week with the Martin Luther King holiday appropriately followed by Inauguration 2009.
Do you have a fun way that you plan to celebrate this year's historic Inauguration? At Sun Siinger, we thought that a little Secret Service would be the order of the day, uncompromising and ready to put our lives on the line to deliver the best to all of you! We will have Inauguration activities on the big screen throughout the day, and we invite you to join us for part - or all - of the festivities.
As part of our own festivites during the upcoming weekend, we invite you to join us for our weekly Sensational Saturday Wine Tasting. This week we'll stand 'United in Wine' celebrating how the diversity of wine unites us across the globe. Our Saturday tastings are always complementary and we invite you to join us in the Cafe to have 'Lunch and a Taste'. We guarantee a warm time for all or your money back!
UPCOMING: VALENTINE'S is just a month away and we have plans for you...This year's theme in coincidence with Friday, February 13th is 'Lucky in Love!' Don't walk under any ladders placed over cracks in the sidewalk near an animal shelter, but do plan to be here.
Join us soon for more good times at the Sun Singer Cafe!
Our Best Wishes for '09,
Jackie, Mark & the Sun Singer Staff

Sundays are Sparkling!
Sunday Bubbles Bar &
Extended Sunday Cafe Hours
starting January 18th
Wines with bubbles are associated, for many people, primarily with festivities, celebrations and the elite. Modern production techniques have brought sparkling wines to market that are more affordable and accessible for everyday enjoyment.
At Sun Singer we want to show that bubbles can be enjoyed anytime - an intimate celebration, a festive party, or a casual time with good friends - every time. We invite you to come in and enjoy bubbles for $3, pastries from Pekara Bakehouse and so much more!
Extended Sunday Hours
11:00am - 9:00pm / starting January 18th
Let's
face it, there just aren't enough hours in a day and Sun Singer is doing something about it! We decided to add a few more. Beginning Sunday, January 18th we wanted to make certain that there are enough hours in our Sunday schedule to
enjoy more of the good times at Sun Singer. Now
we'll be open earlier for lunch, or brunch if you like, plus you'll
have plenty of time for a leisurely dinner - a pleasant way to end
the week or to start a new one. Add a few hours to your weekend as we all
measure the days looking forward to Spring.

Grape Expectations:
Save $7 after 8:00pm
Monday - Saturday after 8:00pm
through March 31, 2009
Everyone is due a little relief these days and to this end Sun Singer's CORKAGE
FREE NIGHTS have already begun, but everyone is asking what is 'Corkage' anyway. From extensive research, just kidding, here's the best explanation we've found:
This service (corkage) was conceived and adopted by restaurateurs as a courtesy
to guests who wanted to enjoy a special, rare, or sentimental value
wine with their dinner. Such as a special vintage bottle lovingly
carried over from your last voyage to Napa Valley or France. Or the
wine from the same vineyard that catered to your wedding party that you
want to enjoy over your 20th anniversary dinner. Or something otherwise
remarkable that the restaurant does not carry on its wine list.
At Sun Singer the 'corkage fee' is not a service fee for opening and serving the bottle and we encourage you to consider the price of any bottle you order in the overall gratuity for your server, but instead it is a parity fee to help cover the costs of offering the uniquely pleasant surroundings in which you and your friends may enjoy your wine and our many other fine offerings! Mark-ups on our wine are modest in comparison to most restaurants and to let you in on a little secret - at Sun Singer your very best value is to buy a bottle whether it's $15 or $50 and pay the $7 parity. We ask to consider our argument and we certainly invite any questions you may have on the subject.
Even More Importantly -
We invite you to join us Monday -
Saturday after 8:00pm through the end of March and save the $7 fee on any of the 1200+ bottles from our retail selection you
choose to drink in the Cafe with the purchase of an appetizer, sandwich or dessert. Sun Singer has grape expectations for 2009 and we wanted a way to say thanks to all of you who have spent many memorable hours
relaxing with us. Come in and start saving soon!

Wine 102: Wine Evaluation & Terminology
Tuesday, January 27th
7:00 - 9:00pm
Our Price: $20/person
Do you read tasting notes and wonder how they can be so specific? Do you want to be able to put into words what you taste? If so, this seminar is for you! Join us at Sun Singer as we continue to de-mystify the world of wine. Wine 102 will show you the tasting process and help you develop a style of wine talk.
We'll expand on the basic wine terminology and flavor components of wine taught in Wine 101. We will discuss how wines are rated and explain several systems. There will be handouts on a wine rating system and a listing of wine words. The final part of the seminar will focus on developing your own personal wine language.
We strongly suggest that you have previously attended Sun Singer's Wine 101. Wine 102 will assume a basic knowledge of wine varietals, their characteristics and basic tasting technique.
Learn more about our seminars here.
Sign up today by calling Sun Singer at 351-1115.

Featured Wine
TRES PICOS Garnacha 2007
We only get a limited number of cases of this wonderful wine each year.
"Inky ruby. Highly complex bouquet of cherry, dark berry liqueur, iron,
tobacco and dried flowers; reminded me a wine from Graves. Tangy cherry
and cassis flavors are on the primal side initially but soften and gain
sweetness with air. Fine tannins add grip to the long, spicy finish,
which repeats the iron note. This is very promising."
