Sun Singer News
Our Chili is Back!
The chili at Sun Singer could be a year 'round favorite, but we like to keep it for those cooler days to warm your bones. While our late summer weather has been a mixed bag, Chef Sherry could no longer resist the growing swells of desire. The tide has turned, and our Whity's Chili is back on the menu daily to bring courage and sustenance to our Fall endeavors!
Patio Im-Perfect
Have you noticed those pesky soy aphids on your evening walks lately? Those little critters are taking the fun out of being outdoors in the afternoons and evenings! It's funny that such little creatures can drive us to distraction. Our patio lovers are complaining as well and the little consolation we have to offer is a comfortable seat inside. Don't let these critters put you off, we will reclaim our outside spaces soon!

HONIG Sauvignon Blanc 2008
Napa Valley, California $16.49
Blended with 1% Semillon this Sauvignon Blanc has perfectly balanced grapefruit and melon aromas and flavors are accented by lime and mango. A round mid-palate is followed by a vibrant, crisp, lingering finish. ROBERT CRAIG 'Durell' Chardonnay 2006
Sonoma Valley, California $49.99 A fully realized expression of bright citrus, white nectarine, orange blossom and honeydew melon, underlain with a flinty minerality that is characteristic of Durell. An exquisitely nuanced, sophisticated Chardonnay with great texture and clean, snappy flavors of melon, peach and apricot followed by blood orange, a touch of clove and nutmeg, and a crisp mineral component with an extended burst of fruit and spice on the finish. KRUPP BROTHERS 'Black Bart' Marsanne 2006
Stagecoach Vineyard - Napa Valley, California $34.99 Straw yellow, brilliant clarity; Intense lifted nose, displaying a wonderful complexity of flavors - honey suckle, orange blossom, jasmine tea, almond kernels, fennel, lemon and freshly harvested honeycomb. The palate is full, polished and balanced with flavors of citrus, peach and apricots. The texture is succulent and creamy complemented by a steely minerality. ZD Pinot Noir 2007
Carneros - Napa Valley, California $44.49 The dark ruby color and aromas of briary black cherry and red plum are complemented by subtle hints of vanilla, toast and rhubarb pie. The toasty French oak character is well integrated with the ripe, unctuous fruit. Silky tannins carry the flavors through to an amazingly long finish. VON STRASSER Cabernet 2006
Diamond Mountain District - Napa Valley, California $34.99
A blend of select distinctive vineyards, specifically chosen for their unique combination of concentration, bright fruit aromas and elegance. This wine is loaded with cassis, berries and violets on the nose and sweet, supple tannins on the palate. This impressive Cabernet will excite the palate today or age gracefully for 10+years. Regularly $54.99 VIADER Syrah 2002
Napa Valley, California $77.49
This Syrah showcases true mountain fruit, expressing the volcanic terroir character. It has deep purple-black color, intense flavors of red berries, hints of coffee, spice and a dash of white pepper in the finish, backed by richly structured and enticing tannins. This wine pairs with a variety of food (game, pastas, fish and stews). Your culinary imagination is the limit.
P.S. We offer a great lunch in our Wine Bar Cafe. Stop by for the fun, stop by to refresh and refuel. Join us for 'Lunch and a Taste' every Saturday at Sun Singer.

 Fall Has Flavor:
How Sweet It Is!
This year Jackie has found something new to satisfy your sweet tooth. Angelic Gourmet is a women owned and operated cottage industry nestled in the picturesque foothills of the Naples Valley in Upstate New York. For 14 years they have been specializing in fresh and fun handmade confections. The signature item of the company is the Decadent DippersŪ, two pretzels joined together as one, dipped in fanciful chocolates and lavishly topped with mounds of fresh fruit, nuts, toffee's, etc. Each is individually wrapped with a hang tag and satin ribbon. Truly a 'one of a kind' item upon it's debut in the fall of 1995, it has since become a cherished and sought after specialty confection.
Decadent Dippers 'Mega Mudslide'
Dark chocolate and colorful M & M's combine for "mega" flavor. A great party treat!

Decadent
If you are an ice cream and chocolate lover, you know the feeling of eating a huge sundae of rich vanilla ice cream lavished with hot fudge and real whipped cream.
If you are a wine enthusiast, a wine loaded with opulent, even unctuous layers of fruit, with a huge bouquet, and a plump, luxurious texture can be said to be decadent. |
