Sun Singer News

Big News...
We were able to grab a few patio days this past week as a slice of Indian Summer came our way.  What a great relief from those dreary rainy days that dragged us along the last of October. It doesn't look like we'll have the patio open this week, but we're sure enjoying the sunshine!

Can't Hold It Back
The holidays are right around the corner and you can sure tell if you browse those the Sun Singer gift area.  Jackie and her elves have been busy stocking the shelves with loads of cute accessories and gifts for the holidays.  No need to wait until the last minute.  Start making those gift decisions now, you'll be glad you did.

New Fall/Winter Menu - Week 2!
Today marks the second week running of our new Fall menu, and we've got to say that people are eating it up - literally and liberally!  Our Chef Sherry Casillas has done an extraordinary job capturing the flavors of Fall for Sun Singer and all of our guests and friends. We could rattle on with accolades for each and every menu additon, but why should you believe a word we say?  Come in and experience it all for yourself!  For a quick peek, view the new Carry Out Menu then make plans to join us at Sun Singer for your very own Fall tasting.

Thanksgiving Times
Thanksgiving is less than two weeks away and we hope you have Sun Singer in your plans.  The Retail Store and Wine Bar Cafe will be open regular hours Thanksgiving Eve (10 a.m. - 11 p.m.).  Bring friends and family in for a meal and then gather all those last minute wines, beers and spirits to bring cheer to your Thanksgiving Day. While we'll be closed on Thanksgiving proper, Friday will find us bright eyed and sassy from our own festivities and ready to start the quick slide with you toward new beginnings in 2010!

Facebook Fact!

New This Week
@ The Wine Bar
 
 
New wines November 10th
at the Sun Singer Wine Bar.

Always changing, always
something new to try!

Santa Rita 120 Sauvignon Blanc '09, Central Valley, Chile
Aromas and flavors of citrus fruits such as grapefruit and lemon peel that lend a fresh balance to the tropical fruit character and the typical herbal notes from the 2% of semillón in the blend. Vibrant, fresh, deep, and well-rounded on the palate.
 
Pali 'Bluffs' Pinot Noir '08, Russian River, California
New Vintage! The nose offer date, plum, marshmallow, and candied red and black fruit. Big, expressive cherry and raspberry liqueur leap to the
front with rich, round tannins carrying through to the long finish.
 
Santa Rita Reserva Carménčre '08, Rapel Valley, Chile
Bouquet that is dominated by fresh ripe black fruits with notes
of chocolate and vanilla. Medium-bodied with tremendously silky tannins that lend a pleasing sensation of sweetness as it glides over the palate to a beautifully long finish.
 
Seabiscuit Ranch 'Superfecta' Meritage '06,
Mendocino County, California

A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon: 65%; Merlot: 28%; Petit Verdot: 4%; and Cabernet Franc: 3%. Concentrated ripe fruit aromas and flavors, with medium-to-robust body and soft tannins ideal for drinking now.

DeLoach Zinfandel '03, Russian River, California
Old-world style aromas of red cherries laced with smoky characteristics. Brambly and raspberry notes linger, while intense layers of cranberry and zin-berry mingle with soft hints of barrel spice.
 
Starla Cabernet Sauvignon '06, Napa Valley, California
This is a real gem from our recent 6th Anniversary Gala. The muscular structure of dusty tannins provide a mouth-coating framework for flavors of brambly blackberry, cassis, plum skin and baking cocoa.Dense, concentrated, and gripping.
 
Golden Goose
 
 
  GOOSE ISLAND Reserves 'Sophie' Belgian Style Ale 2009 22oz
 
Fermented with wild yeasts and aged in wine barrels with orange peel, Sofie is a tart, dry, sparkling ale. A subtle, spicy white pepper note, a hint of citrus from the orange peel and a creamy vanilla finish make Sofie an intriguing choice for Champagne drinkers and beer drinkers who are fond of Belgian Saisons. Alcohol by Volume: 6.5%
